Federal Boat Policy

The Federal Boat Executive Committee is a collaborative effort with Federal agencies who use boats, and other waterborne craft to accomplish a wide variety of missions. As stewards of these taxpayer-provided resources, it is imperative that agencies manage their marine resources as effectively and efficiently as any other asset at their disposal. This working group was established in the fall 2009 to provide a forum for agencies to share information, to discuss shared concerns, and to collaboratively discover solutions to common problems.

Anyone interested in collaborating on management and operational issues or challenges common to all Federal agencies with watercraft; establishing common data standards and electronic systems to monitor boat cost and operations; and reviewing and developing policies, projects or programs to promote the economical, safe and cost efficient operation of all Government-owned boats contact Patrick.mcconnell@gsa.gov.
