Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The 
Coast Guard published the 60-day Notice (75 FR 19413, April 14, 2010) 
as required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited no comments.

Information Collection Request

    Title: National Recreational Boating Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0089.
    Type of Request: Re-instatement with change.
    Respondents: Recreational boating participants and owners of 
recreational vessels.
    Abstract: The Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 determines the 
framework of the Coast Guard Recreational Boating Safety Program. This 
Program, as set forth in 46 U.S.C., Chapter 131, requires the Coast 
Guard to ``encourage greater State participation and uniformity in 
boating safety efforts, and particularly to permit the States to assume 
a greater share of boating safety education, assistance, and 
enforcement activities.'' (See 46 U.S.C. 13102.) The Coast Guard Office 
of Boating Safety achieves these goals by providing timely and relevant 
information on subject activities that occur in each respective 
jurisdiction.

[[Page 39554]]

The boating information provided by the Coast Guard enables each State 
agency to tailor and implement safety initiatives addressing specific 
needs of boaters in local jurisdictions. The primary objective of this 
collection is to provide the Coast Guard with the required information 
in a format suitable to effectively manage the Program.
    Forms: None.
    Burden Estimate: This is a biennial requirement. In the year the 
survey is conducted, the burden is estimated to be 10,880 hours.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: July 2, 2010.
M.B. Lytle,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Assistant Commandant for Command, 
Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
