II. Background and Purpose
In the request for comments we
published February 14, 2020 (85 FR
8601), we stated that in October of 2017,
the Government Accountability Office
issued report GAO–18–9, titled
‘‘Actions Needed to Close Stations
Identified as Overlapping and
Unnecessarily Duplicative.’’ This GAO
report recommended the consolidation
of eighteen boat stations. Due to
environmental and operational factors,
the Coast Guard is not considering all
eighteen boat stations identified in the
GAO report for consolidation. Instead,
we anticipate consolidating five
stations, with implementation
notionally scheduled for fiscal year
2021. These stations have been
identified because there are other units
nearby capable of responding to cases in
these areas, and because these five
stations respond to a low number of
cases. We do not anticipate any adverse
effect on Coast Guard response
capability. We expect an improvement
to the proficiency of boat operators as
well as a less complicated response
system.

III. Discussion
In response to a request from an
interested person the Coast Guard has
reopened the comment period to allow
additional input from the public. The
new due date for comments is close May
4, 2020. The following information was
provided in our February 14 request for
comments.
Many stations were established at a
time when boats lacked engines and
were powered by oars and paddles.
With modern boat operating speeds and
improved direction finding technology,
many calls for Coast Guard assistance
can be responded to by multiple units
significantly faster than when these boat
stations were first established. The
combination of significantly improved
response times, along with an overall
reduction in rescue calls due to boating
safety improvements throughout the
nation, has resulted in a number of boat
stations becoming redundant. This
consolidation will result in a more
robust response system by increasing
staffing levels and capacity at select
nearby boat stations. Such a
consolidation creates synergy and more
opportunities for boat operators to
properly train instead of missing
training opportunities while standing
ready to respond to calls that do not
come. Station Oxford and StationsSmall Fishers Island, Shark River,
Roosevelt Inlet, and Salem have been
identified for consolidation with
neighboring stations.
