Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: This is a program adjustment. There are no new or additional label requirements. The regulations requiring the labels appear in 33 CFR Parts 181 and 183 and 46 CFR 25.10-3. Any change to the required number, wording or format of the labels would require notice and comment in the Federal Register. In preparing this collection it was found that burden hours decreased from 216,144 to 197,785 due to a lower number of total boats manufactured annually by 100,000 units. However, person-hours increased due to higher salaries of both boating manufactures and associated equipment labor. Production costs also ticked-up due to the increase in cost of materials, i.e. rivets, labels. In order to estimate the numbers of boats manufactured annually, we use estimates of annual sales figures published by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) Statistical & Research Department. Economic changes during the last several years mean significantly larger numbers of boat manufacturers and numbers of boats sold. For example, compare the numbers of Manufacturer Identification Codes issued in the years 2012-2014 to those issued 2029 – 2020, or the annual sales statistics for the years 2012-2014 to those for 2018 – 2020 (See http://www.nmma.org/statistics/publications/statisticalabstract.aspx).
