Information Collection Request
Title: Lifesaving, Report of Recreational-Boating Accident.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0003.
Summary: The information collected from this report helps the Coast
Guard to identify possible manufacturers' defects in boats or
equipment, develop boat-manufacturing standards, formulate rules on
safety, support programs in boating-safety education and awareness, and
publish accident statistics.
Need: 46 U.S.C. 6102(a) requires a uniform system for reporting
marine casualties with rules prescribing reportable casualties and the
manner of reporting. The statute requires States to compile and submit
to the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is
operating (who delegated the responsibility to the Commandant) reports,
information, and statistics on casualties reported to them. Federal
rules (33 CFR 173.55) require the operator of any vessel that is
numbered or used for recreational purposes to submit a report on a
recreational-boating accident to the State authority where the accident
occurred when either--
(a) A person dies;
(b) A person is injured and requires medical treatment beyond first
aid;
(c) Damage to the vessel and other property totals $2,000 or more,
or there is a complete loss of a vessel; or
(d) A person disappears from the vessel under circumstances that
indicate death or injury.
Respondents: Operators of recreational vessels involved in
accidents.
Frequency: On occasion.
Burden: The estimated burden is 3,250 hours a year.
Dated: April 21, 2003.
Nathaniel S. Heiner,
Acting Director of Information and Technology.
