Title: Raising the Threshold of Property Damage for Reports of Accidents Involving Recreational Vessels (USCG-1999-6094) 
Abstract: This rule would increase the threshold for reporting recreational- boat accidents involving only property damage. Because of inflation since the threshold was last revised, the threshold now requires the reporting of a large number of minor accidents. These numbers distort the statistical base for the program in Recreational Boating Safety and increase the burden of paperwork on the boating public. Raising the threshold to an appropriate level would provide for a consistent statistical base and reduce the administrative burden on the Coast Guard and on States' accident-investigation personnel as well as the burden of paperwork on the boating public. This rule supports the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.
