Discussion

    The Coast Guard's National Recreational Boating Safety Program aims 
to reduce accidents, injuries and deaths on America's waterways and to 
facilitate safe enjoyable boating. It promotes greater uniformity among 
States and localities in boating safety laws, enforcement, and 
administration. The Program also requires boating safety reporting by 
States and boaters involved in accidents. This notice announces the 
availability of a new draft accident reporting manual and seeks comment 
on its content.
    The manual addresses the following broad topics:
     Regulations, vessel determinations, accident scenarios 
policy, and definitions of terms.
     Report form and reporting system.
     Expected roles of the Coast Guard and State.

Manual. Submissions will be reviewed internally to determine whether
