Information Collection Request

Title: National Recreational Boating Survey.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0089.

Summary: The Coast Guard National Recreational Boating Survey

collects data on recreational boating participation and exposure to

hazards. The goal is for the Office of Boating Safety to draw a general

statistical profile of the U.S. recreational boating population. Of

particular importance will be statistics on the type of boats used,

activities associated with them, boat operators' knowledge of safety

measures, and duration of a typical boating day (referred to as

``exposure''). Exposure data will be used to derive a reliable measure

of the risk associated with recreational boating that can be used in

all jurisdictions.

Need: The Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 determines the framework

of the Coast Guard Recreational Boating Safety Program. This Program,

as set forth in 46 U.S.C., Chapter 131, requires the Coast Guard to

``encourage greater State participation and uniformity in boating

safety efforts, and particularly to permit the States to assume a

greater share of boating safety education, assistance, and enforcement

activities.'' See 46 U.S.C. 13102. The Coast Guard Office of Boating

Safety achieves these goals by providing timely and relevant

information on subject activities that occur in each respective

jurisdiction. The boating information provided by the Coast Guard

enables each State agency to tailor and implement safety initiatives

addressing specific needs of boaters in local jurisdictions. The

primary objective of this collection is to provide the Coast Guard with

the required information in a format suitable to effectively manage the

Program.

Forms: None.

Respondents: Recreational boating participants and owners of

recreational vessels.

Frequency: Every two years.

Burden Estimate: This is a biennial requirement. In the year the

survey is conducted, the burden is estimated to be 10,880 hours.

Dated: April 7, 2010.

M.B. Lytle,

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Assistant Commandant for Command,

Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
