Previous Request for Comments
This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day Notice (75 FR 19413, April 14, 2010)
as required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no comments.
Information Collection Request
Title: National Recreational Boating Survey.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0089.
Type of Request: Re-instatement with change.
Respondents: Recreational boating participants and owners of
recreational vessels.
Abstract: 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 Boating Safety achieves these goals by providing timely and relevant
information on subject activities that occur in each respective
jurisdiction.
[[Page 39554]]
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.
Burden Estimate: This is a biennial requirement. In the year the
survey is conducted, the burden is estimated to be 10,880 hours.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: July 2, 2010.
M.B. Lytle,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Assistant Commandant for Command,
Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
