Requires manufacturers to display
various labels evidencing compliance: Hull Identification Numbers;
U.S. Coast Guard Maximum Capacities; Gasoline Fuel Tank Label; U.S.
Coast Guard Type Fuel Hose Label and Certified Navigation Light
Label.
This is a program “Adjustment”.
The Coast Guard has increased the reporting burden associated with
this collection from 156,170 hours annually to 176,029 hours a
year. The adjustment is due to an increase in the annual boat sales
volume. There are no new or additional label requirements. The
regulations requiring the labels appear in 33 CFR Parts 181 and 183
and 46 CFR 25.10-3. Any change to the required number, wording or
format of the labels would require notice and comment in the
Federal Register. In order to estimate the numbers of boats
manufactured annually, we use estimates of annual sales figures
published by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA)
Statistical & Research Department. Economic changes during the
last several years mean significantly smaller numbers of boat
manufacturers and numbers of boats sold. For example, compare the
numbers of Manufacturer Identification Codes issued in the years
2009-2011 to those issued 2012 – 2014, or the annual sales
statistics for the years 2009-2011 to those for 2012 – 2014 (See
http://www.nmma.org/statistics/publications/statisticalabstract.aspx).
