Privacy Act Statement
a. Authority:  5 U.S.C. 301; 14 U.S.C. 93; the Federal Records Act; 46 U.S.C. 4310; and 33 C.F.R. 179.
b.  Purpose:  Subparagraph 4310(f) of Title 46, United States Code gives the Coast Guard the authority to require manufacturers of recreational boats and
items of "designated associated equipment" to notify owners and replace or repair boats and items of designated associated equipment which fail to comply
with applicable Federal safety standards or are found to contain defects related to safety discovered in their products.  For the purposes of 46 U.S.C. 4310,
the phrase, "designated associated equipment," includes inboard engines, outboard motors and sterndrive units.
c. Routine Uses: This information is requested pursuant to authority in 46 U.S.C. 4310(f) (formerly the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971). You are under no
obligation to respond to this questionnaire.  Your response may be used to assist the Coast Guard in determining whether a manufacturer should take
appropriate action to correct a safety defect.  If the Coast Guard proceeds with administrative enforcement or litigation against a manufacturer, your
response, or a summary thereof, may be used in support of the Coast Guard's action.
d. Disclosure:  An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB
control number. The Coast Guard estimates that the average burden for this report form is 24 minutes. You may submit any comments concerning the
accuracy of this burden estimate or any suggestions for reducing the burden to: Commandant (CG-BSX-23), U.S. Coast Guard, Washington, DC
20593-0001 or Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (1625-0071), Washington, DC 20503.
