drilling units, regardless of their geographic location; or (4) from any vessel connected with a deepwater port or within the deepwater port safety zone or from any vessel engaged in
activities related to the OCS, you must submit a report if there is a diving casualty meeting the criteria in block 11, except if the diving operation is:
1. performed solely for marine scientific research and development purposes by educational institutions,
2. performed solely for research and development for the advancement of diving equipment and technology, or
3. performed solely for search and rescue or related public safety purposes by or under the control of a governmental agency.

§4.05-10 mandates that vessel owners, agents, masters, operators, or persons in charge file a written report of any marine casualty required to be reported under 46 CFR §4.05-1, 46 CFR §197.486 mandates that
persons in charge of vessels or facilities file a report of any diving casualty required to be reported under 33 CFR §197.484, and 46 CFR §146.35 mandates that owners, operators, or persons in charge of an OCS
facility or vessel engaged in OCS activities file a report of any OCS-related casualty required to be reported under 33 CFR §146.30. For marine casualties, diving casualties when the diving installation is on a vessel,
and The written report must be provided on Form CG-2692 (Report of Marine Casualty, Commercial Diving Casualty, or OCS-Related Casualty) supplemented as necessary by appended Forms CG-2692A (Barge

Purpose: The Coast Guard uses this information in gathering facts to determine causes surrounding reportable marine casualties. This information assists in promoting the safety of life, property, and the protection
of the marine environment through preventing the reoccurrence of accidents.
Routine Uses: Reportable marine casualty information is needed for Coast Guard investigations of vessel casualties involving injury, death, property damage, environmental damage and dangerous conditions and
for preparation and submission of data reports mandated by Congress (see 46 U.S.C. 6301). Information gathered is also used to determine whether new or revised safety laws, regulations, and policies are
necessary. Additionally, chemical testing information is needed to improve Coast Guard detection and reduction of drug use by mariners. The information contained on forms CG-2692, CG-2692A, CG-2692B,
CG-2692C, and CG-2692D may be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in response to a written FOIA request.

casualties may result in civil penalty sanctions as outlined in 33 CFR Part 1. Coast Guard credentialed mariners may be subject to administrative adjudication per 46 CFR Part 5 for reporting failures. Some of the
casualty information collected on this form may be made available for public inspection; however, information collected is protected from use in civil litigation per 46 U.S.C. §6308. Personal privacy information will not
be disclosed routinely. Social Security numbers are not mandated on this form.
