NRBS Panel Survey (aka Trip)
Privacy Act Notice
Authority: A National Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) program requirement as set
forth in Title 46, United States Code, § 13101, is to “encourage greater State participation
and uniformity in boating safety efforts, and particularly to permit the States to assume
the greater share of boating safety education, assistance, and enforcement activities”.
Purpose: As coordinator of the National RBS program, the Coast Guard provides
support for safety initiatives in every jurisdiction (States and Territories) by making
available timely, relevant information on boating activities that occur in each respective
jurisdiction. Working in partnership with State Boating Law Administrators (BLAs), the

boating information provided by the Coast Guard enables each State agency to tailor and
implement safety initiatives that address the needs of boaters in each respective jurisdiction.

Routine Uses: Statistical data only and not personally identifiable information will be
used by and disclosed to Coast Guard personnel and contractors or other agents who need
the information to assist in the promotion of safe boating practices in America.
Additionally, the Coast Guard may share statistical data with its boating partners from the
industry and academia. Personal data will neither be used internally by the Coast Guard,
nor be transmitted to any third party.
Disclosure: Providing this information is completely voluntary and failure to answer any
question will not result in any penalty or loss of benefits.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement:
The United States Coast Guard is legislated to collect boating safety data under U.S.
Code 46, Chapter 131. The research has been approved by the U.S. Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), Approval Number 1625-0089, expiring on 6/30/13.
Without this number, we could not conduct this survey. Your participation is completely
voluntary. The time required to complete this information collection is less than 15
minutes, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather
the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. Send comments
regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Dr. Philippe Gwet, Mathematical
Statistician, US Coast Guard CG-5422, 2100 Second St. SW, Washington, DC 20593.
