Short Statement:
The existing burden estimate for the Boat Owner's Report - Possible Safety Defect is 17.65 hours annually (2015). The current requested burden is 12.04 hours annually (2018) – an adjustment decrease of 5.61 hours. In any calendar year, we have no idea as to how many boat owners will choose to file reports of possible safety defects in their boats or engines. The Coast Guard does not receive the same number of consumer complaints each year, nor do we receive complaints from the same consumers every year, nor can we anticipate which consumers will respond. However, the public has obviously learned how easy it is to report defects in boats and associated equipment to the Coast Guard electronically.
