Boat and associated equipment owners
who think boats or engines or fail to comply with Coast Guard
safety standards can complete a Boat Owners Report - Possible
Safety Defect form or submit same electronically.
US Code:
46
USC 4310 Name of Law: Shipping / Repair and Replacement of
Defects
US Code:
46 USC Chapter 43 Name of Law: Shipping/Recreational
Vessels
The existing burden estimate
for the Boat Owner's Report - Possible Safety Defect is 17.65 hours
annually (2015). The current requested burden is 12.04 hours
annually (2018) – an adjustment decrease of 5.61 hours. In any
calendar year, we have no idea as to how many boat owners will
choose to file reports of possible safety defects in their boats or
engines. The Coast Guard does not receive the same number of
consumer complaints each year, nor do we receive complaints from
the same consumers every year, nor can we anticipate which
consumers will respond. However, the public has obviously learned
how easy it is to report defects in boats and associated equipment
to the Coast Guard electronically.
