Information Collection Request

    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 
State. Implementing regulations are contained in Title 33, Code of

and statistical information obtained from the reports submitted by the 
State reporting authorities are used by the Coast Guard in the 
compilation of national recreational boating accident statistics.
    Forms: CG-3865, Recreational Boating Accident Report.
    Respondents: Federal regulations (33 CFR 173.55) require the 
operator of any uninspected vessel that is numbered or used for 
recreational purposes to submit an accident report to the State 
authority when:
    (1) A person dies; or
    (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.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains unchanged at 
2,500 hours a year.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. et seq.,
