Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELT's) to register information such as 
name, address, and type of vessel with the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The information would be used by 
search and rescue personnel to identify the aircraft in distress and to 
select the proper rescue units and search methods. The information is 
used by NOAA to maintain a database used to provide information about 
the owner of an activated ELT of an aircraft in distress. If the 
collection were not conducted, NOAA would not have access to this 
information which would increase the time needed to complete a search 
and rescue operation.
