Information Collection Request

    Title: The National Survey of Recreational Boating.
    OMB Control Number: 2115-0638.
    Summary: The mission of the national program of the U.S. Coast 
Guard on Safety of Recreational Boating to minimize the loss of life, 
the personal injury, the property damage, and the environmental impact 
associated with the use of recreational boats. The purpose of the 
national survey of recreational boating is to capture information from 
recreational boaters nationwide so we can better serve their needs and 
more effectively accomplish our mission. Information captured from the 
survey will enable us to better understand current boating practices, 
the types and number of boats used in each State, and the various types 
of activities associated with recreational boating. Our collecting this 
type of information from boaters across the nation is critical in our 
efforts to implement effective safety initiatives and activities with 
our partners in the States.
    Need: In compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act 
(GPRA), the collection of information is necessary to: (1) Link the 
effectiveness of the national program to reductions in a person's risk 
of having a boating accident, (2) improve the effectiveness of the 
program by implementing well-defined goals, and (3) enhance 
policymaking by the Administration and Congress, spending decisions, 
and superintendence of the program using the best performance measures 
and safety indicators.
    Respondents: Recreational boaters.
    Frequency: Every three to five years.
    Burden: The estimated burden is 11,458 hours a year.

    Dated: December 7, 2001.
