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 Title 46, United States Code, ยง 13101, requires the Coast Guard to "encourage greater State participation and uniformity in boating safety efforts, and particularly to permit the States to assume the greater share of boating safety education, assistance, and enforcement activities." The Coast Guard Office of Boating Safety 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 that address 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 an effective management.

Short Statement:
There will be no change for the next round of data collection for the National Recreational Boating Survey. There may be some minor variations regarding the sample sizes in the different states. The past Notice of Action allowed the CG to do the 2012 Boat Survey in the third quarter of 2011 (see Exhibit 1 on the next page), and will allow for the 2012 trip and 2013 participation surveys. Note that, exceptionally a subsample of the boat survey was used to collect 2011 participation data. The current information collection request is for the 2014 boat Survey (to be done in the third quarter of 2013), the 2014 trip survey, and the 2014 participant survey (to be done in January of 2015), which are all components of what is known as the 2014 National Recreational Boating Survey.
