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 Boating Safety
division 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’s Boating Safety
division 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. The estimated burden has
increased from 10,880 hours to 13,050
hours a year.
