Specific Accounting of Funds
Factory Visit Program/Boat Testing
Program: Funding was provided to
continue the national recreational boat
factory visit program, initiated in
January 2001. Under the factory visit
program, contracted personnel, acting
on behalf of the Coast Guard, visited
1,150 recreational boat manufacturers
during the 2012 reporting 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 $1,984,621
was provided for the Factory Visit
Program/Boat Testing Program, with an
additional $857 for travel expenses.
($1,985,478).1
New Recreational Boating Safety
Associated Travel: Travel by employees
of the Boating Safety Division was
performed to carry out additional
recreational boating safety actions and
to gather background and planning
information for new recreational boating
safety initiatives, in support of the
National Recreational Boating Safety
Program Strategic Plan. ($23,367).
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
1 Section 13707(c)(1) of title 46 U.S.C. requires
that ‘‘* * *not less than $2,000,000 be available to
ensure compliance with chapter 43 of title 46
U.S.C.[—Recreational Vessels].’’ For purposes of
satisfying this requirement, we consider $100,000 of
funding for ‘‘personnel support’’ and $140,000 for
‘‘reimbursable salaries’’ in addition to the amount
of $1,985,478 itemized for Factory Visit Program/
Boat Testing Program. We did not include those
amounts in the total for Factory Visit Program/Boat
Testing Program because the broad categories of
‘‘personnel support’’ and ‘‘reimbursable salaries’’
are accounted for separately below.

involve regulatory non-compliances or

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. ($60,000).
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. ($845,598).
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 2012
funds supported system maintenance,
development, and technical (hotline)
support. ($372,440).
Personnel Support: Funding was
provided for personnel to support the
development of new regulations and to
conduct boating safety-related research
and analysis. ($681,773).
Reimbursable Salaries: Funding was
provided to carry out the work as
prescribed in 46 U.S.C. 13107(c) and as
described herein. The first position was
that of a professional mathematician/
statistician to conduct necessary
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. ($296,000).
