continue to buy recreational boat
‘‘associated equipment’’ (e.g., starters,
alternators, fuel pumps, and bilge
pumps) and test this equipment for
compliance with federal safety
regulations. This new initiative
complements the boat compliance
testing program. ($150,000)
New Recreational Boating Safety
Associated Travel: Travel by employees
of the Office of Boating Safety was
performed to carry out additional
recreational boating safety actions and
to gather background and planning
information for new recreational boating
safety initiatives. ($13,489)
Boating Accident News Clipping
Service: Funding was provided to
continue to gather daily news stories of
recreational boating accidents nationally
for more real time accident information
and to identify accidents that may
involve regulatory non-compliances or
safety defects. ($54,900)
Accident Investigation Tiger Team:
Funding was provided to continue to
provide on-call expert accident
investigative services for any boating
accident that appeared to involve a
regulatory non-compliance or safety
defect. ($59,278)
Web-based Document Management
System: Funding was provided to
continue to provide a web-based
document management to better enable
the handling of thousands of
recreational boating recall case and
campaign reports. ($49,630)
Recreational Boating Safety (RBS)
Outreach Program: Funding was
provided for this program which
provides full marketing, media, public
information, and program strategy
support to the nation-wide RBS effort.
The goal is to coordinate the RBS
outreach initiatives and campaigns
some of which include: National
Boating Under the Influence Campaign
(BUI), ‘‘You’re in Command. Boat
Responsibly!’’, PFD Wear, Vessel Safety
Check Program (VSC), Boating Safety
Education Courses, Propeller Strike
Avoidance, Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning, and other recreational
boating safety issues on an as needed
basis. The USCG purchased and will
distribute 10,000 inflatable lifejackets to
volunteer groups to be worn while
conducting vessel safety checks and
during public recreational boating
events such as exhibits, boat shows,
public education courses, etc. to
promote the ‘‘Wear it’’ campaign and to
make boaters aware of the modern
advances in lifejackets. ($1,696,725)
Boating Accident Report Database
(BARD) Web System: BARD Web System
funding enables reporting authorities in
the 50 States, five U.S. Territories and

the District of Columbia to manage their
accident reports electronically over a
secure Internet environment. The
system also enables the user community
to generate statistical reports that show
the frequency, nature, and severity of
boating accidents. FY 06 funds
supported system maintenance,
technical (hotline) support and formal
classroom instruction for the entire user
community. ($310,608)
Personnel Support: Funding was
provided for personnel to support the
development of new regulations, to
support new contracting activities
associated with the additional funding,
and to monitor and manage the
contracts awarded. ($854,706)
National Recreational Boating Survey:
A national recreational boating survey
was conducted to obtain up-to-date
statistical estimates on recreational
boating. Over 25,000 surveys were
completed with individuals who boated
between September 2001 and September
2002. Survey findings were extrapolated
to produce national, regional and State
estimates of boat use as well as the
characteristics of boat operators,
passengers, boats, safety equipment, and
the boating environment. ($2,126)
Risk Management for Recreational
Boaters: Funding was provided for riskbased decision training focusing on
three boating groups—families, friends
and solo boaters. The course provides
attendees with an in-depth look at
proper risk management and discusses
techniques for better decision-making
processes in boating. The end result is
to provide a potential national model to
recreational boaters with decisionmaking skills that will result in safer
boaters. The benefit will be a better
understanding as to how to deal
effectively with risk and lower mishap
rates. ($25,000)
Propeller Guard Test Protocol:
Funding was provided to complete the
recreational boat handling/performance
phase of a three-phase effort to develop
a protocol for the testing of propeller
guards. The test protocol will be made
available to propeller guard
manufacturers to determine the
feasibility of their product for use on
recreational boats. ($230,000)
Recreational Boat Rental Education
Package: Funding was provided to
develop a standardized educational
package for recreational boat rental
agencies to use to provide the necessary
safety information to renters prior to
renting a boat. ($73,783)
Articulated Mannequins/Computer
Simulation Model: Funding was
provided to continue the development
of flotation mannequins and a water
forces computer simulation program to

promote the rapid, objective evaluation
of different PFD designs on various
body types that are representative of the
recreational boating population. The
computer simulation program will be
validated through the use of a family of
anthropomorphic, articulated
mannequins. The development of the
computer simulation program will
facilitate evaluation of the effectiveness
of new and unique PFD designs.
($83,109)
Of the $5.5 million made available to
the Coast Guard in fiscal year 2007,
$3,844,545 has been committed,
obligated or expended and an additional
$2,015,619 of prior fiscal year funds
have been committed, obligated or
expended, as of September 30, 2007.
Approximately $7.8 million has not
been committed, obligated or expended
from previous years, and is being
reserved for a multi-year national
boating survey.
