Manufacturers of recreational boats and uninspected vessels are subject to Coast Guard safety standards and regulations in 33 CFR Parts 181 and 183 and 46 CFR 25.10-3. The regulations require the display of labels which provides safety information to the public and evidence compliance with regulations and identify every boat manufacturer.
Program changes are a function of the numbers of boats manufactured annually, which can vary significantly from year to year. Some significant factors affecting the numbers of boats manufactured annually are the state of the economy, interest rates, and the cost of petroleum.
Note: We used estimates of annual sales figures published by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Statistical & Research Department to estimate burdens and costs to respondents; however, comments received during various rulemaking projects have indicated that the Coast Guard may have underestimated annual production figures by more than a million boats.
