50 C.F.R. § 86.102 How did the Service design the National Framework?
Title 50 - Wildlife and Fisheries
The Framework divides the survey into two components: boater survey, and boat access provider survey. (a) The purpose of the boater survey component is to identify boat user preferences and concerns for existing and needed access available to the public. (1) The nontrailerable boat data set will fulfill informational needs for you to develop your State program plans as called for in the Act. (2) The boater survey will survey registered boat owners in your State for two types of boats: (i) Part A—for nontrailerable recreational vessels. (ii) Part B—for trailerable and “car-top” boats (less than 26 feet long). (b) The purpose of the boat access provider component is to identify boat access providers' ideas about current and needed facility and site locations and perceptions of boat user preferences and concerns regarding access. We developed these questions to guide interviews of boat access facility and site managers. (1) The nontrailerable boat data set will fulfill the informational needs for you to develop your State plans as called for in the Act. (2) The boat access provider survey will survey facility providers in your State for two types of boats: (i) Part C—a survey to all providers in your State who allow public access, including State agency and non-State entities (Federal and local government entities, corporate and private/commercial providers), and operate tie-up facilities for nontrailerable recreational vessels. (ii) Part D—a survey to all providers in your State who allow public access and operate boat access sites for boats less than 26 feet long.
