regulations) to reductions in a person's risk of experiencing a boating 
incident resulting in facilities, injuries or property damages; (b) 
enhance the Coast Guard's ability to identify and satisfy vital 
customer needs; (c) improve program effectiveness by implementing well-
defined program goals; and (d) enhance administration and congressional 
policymaking, spending decisions, and program oversight using the best 
performance measures and safety indicators.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of recreational boats in 1998.
    Frequency: Every two--three years.
    Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 3,926 hours annually.
