    Title: Recreational Boating Accident Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0003.
    Summary: The Coast Guard Boating Accident Report form is the data 
collection instrument that ensures compliance with the implementing

collect, analyze and publish reports, information, and statistics on 
marine casualties.
    Need: Title 46 U.S.C. 6102(a) requires a uniform marine casualty 
reporting system, with regulations prescribing casualties to be 
reported and the manner of reporting. The statute requires a state to 
compile and submit to the Secretary (delegated to the Coast Guard) 
reports, information, and statistics on casualties reported to the

    Respondents: Federal regulations (33 CFR 173.55) require the

    (2) A person is injured and requires medical treatment beyond first 
aid; or
    (3) Damage to the vessel and other property totals $2,000 or more, 
or there is a complete loss of the vessel; or
    (4) A person disappears from the vessel under circumstances that 
indicate death or injury.
