a U.S. Department of
Transportation, U.S. Coast Guard (CG), Office of Boating Safety, personal
communication, May 15, 2002.
b Includes $11 million damage
due to a boat fire.
c The numbers for recreational
boating safety fatalities are raw numbers--CG reports a 6% addition as
instructed by the DOT Inspector General because it found a discrepancy in a
review of the Search and Rescue Management Information System (SARMIS) and
BARD data. (See the discussion found
in the DOT FY2003 Performance Plan/Report on pg. 135 under data details of
recreational boating fatalities).
NOTE
Only a small fraction of property damages and nonfatal accidents
are reported to the U.S. Coast Guard.
