srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
remain available during the 2
succeeding fiscal years. Any amount
that is unexpended or unobligated at the
end of the 3-year period during which
it is available, shall be withdrawn by the
Secretary and allocated to the States in
addition to any other amounts available
for allocation in the fiscal year in which
they are withdrawn or the following
fiscal year.
Use of these funds requires
compliance with standard Federal
contracting rules with associated lead
and processing times resulting in a lag
time between available funds and
spending. The total amount of funding
transferred to the Coast Guard from the
Sport Fish Restoration and Boating
Trust Fund and committed, obligated,
and/or expended during fiscal year 2011
for each activity is shown below.
Specific Accounting of Funds
National Recreational Boating Safety
Survey: Funding was provided toward a
national recreational boating survey that
will cover a five year period. The
purpose of this survey is to obtain upto-date statistically valid estimates on
recreational boating safety. During this
five year period, three surveys will be
conducted. During fiscal year 2011,
funding was provided to conduct the
first two surveys. ($6,345,764).
Factory Visit Program/Boat Testing
Program: Funding was provided to
continue the national recreational boat
factory visit program, initiated in
January 2001. The factory visit program
currently allows contracted personnel,
acting on behalf of the Coast Guard, to
visit 1,150 recreational boat
manufacturers each year to either
inspect for compliance with Federal
regulations, communicate with the
manufacturers as to why they need to
comply with Federal regulations, or
educate them, as necessary, on how to
comply with Federal regulations.
Funding was also provided for testing of
certain associated equipment and inwater testing of atypical and used
recreational boats for compliance with
capacity and flotation standards.
Funding in the amount of $1,995.416
was provided for the Factory Visit
Program/Boat Testing Program. This
amount, along with approximately
$100,000 of the funding provided for
‘‘personnel support’’ and approximately
$140,000 of the funding provided for
‘‘reimbursable salaries’’ detailed below,
satisfies the legal requirements that ‘‘not
less than’’ $2 million be available to
ensure compliance with Chapter 43 of
Title 46, U.S. Code—Recreational
Vessels. ($1,995,416).

of the Boating Safety Division’s strategic
planning panel was undertaken to
attend meetings to develop the next
iteration of the national recreational
boating safety program strategic plan.
($652).
Boating Accident News Clipping
Services: 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. ($79,119).
Web-based Document Management
System: Funding was provided to
continue to provide a Web-based
document management system to better
enable the handling of thousands of
recreational boating recall case and
campaign reports. ($75,000).
Recreational Boating Safety (RBS)
Outreach Program: Funding was
allocated 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), ‘‘Boat Responsibly!’’, Life Jacket
Wear, Vessel Safety Check Program
(VSC), Boating Safety Education
Courses, Propeller Strike Avoidance,
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Awareness
and Education, and other recreational
boating safety issues on an as needed
basis. ($940,988).
Boating Accident Report Form:
Funding was provided to update the
Coast Guard’s Form CG–3865, which is
used to report boating accidents. The
form was updated to reflect a few minor
changes in reporting requirements, and
to ensure the electronic version of the
form met all federal accessibility
requirements. ($1,110).
Boating Accident Report Database
(BARD) Web System: Funding was
allocated to continue providing the
BARD Web System, which enables
reporting authorities in the 50 States,
five U.S. Territories, and the District of
Columbia to submit their accident
reports electronically over a secure
Internet connection. The system also
enables the user community to generate
statistical reports that show the
frequency, nature, and severity of
boating accidents. Fiscal year 2011
funds supported system maintenance,
development, and technical (hotline)
support. ($320,945).
Personnel Support: Funding was
provided for personnel to support the
development of new regulations and to
conduct boating safety-related research
and analysis. ($693,266).

Reimbursable Salaries: Funding was

that of a professional mathematician/

national surveys and studies on
recreational boating activities as well as
to serve as a liaison to other Federal
agencies that are conducting boating
surveys so that we can pool our
resources and reduce costs. The second
position was that of an Outreach
Coordinator with responsibilities that
include overseeing and managing RBS
projects related to carbon monoxide
poisoning, propeller injury mitigation,
and manufacturer compliance
initiatives. ($296,823).
Of the $5.5 million made available to
the Coast Guard in fiscal year 2011,
$507,703.80 has been committed,
obligated, or expended and an
additional $10,241,378.91 of prior fiscal

This notice is issued pursuant to 46
U.S.C. 13107(c)(4).
