Information Collection Request
Title: National Recreational Boating Safety Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0089.
Summary: The National Recreational Boating Safety Survey collects data on recreational boating participation and exposure. Specifically, the survey focuses on the types of boats used, the demographics of boaters, the types of safety equipment on recreational boats, and the amount of time boaters spend on the water. Boating hours calculated from this survey play an integral part in calculating risk ratios associated with recreational boating. In light of the USCG's safety-oriented mission, we are proposing a name change of this survey to the National Recreational Boating Safety Survey from the National Recreational Boating Survey.
Need: The Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 determines the framework of the Coast Guard recreational boating safety program. This program as set forth in 46 U.S.C., Chapter 131, requires the Coast Guard to "encourage greater State participation and uniformity in boating safety efforts, and particularly to permit the States to assume a greater share of boating safety education, assistance, and enforcement activities." See 46 U.S.C. 13102. The Coast Guard Office of Auxiliary & Boating Safety, Boating Safety Division achieves these goals by providing timely and relevant information on boating activities that occur in each respective jurisdiction. The boating information provided by the Coast Guard enables each State agency to tailor and implement safety initiatives addressing specific needs of boaters in local jurisdictions. The primary objective of this collection is to provide the Coast Guard with the required information in a format suitable to effectively manage the program.
Forms: None.
Respondents: Recreational boaters and recreational boat owners living in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Frequency: The survey takes place every five to eight years and the last survey was conducted in 2018.
Hour Burden Estimate: The survey will take approximately 125,863 respondents a total estimate burden of 15,151 hours.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq., chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: November 19, 2024.
