Costs to the Regulated Public States Compliance with the proposed rule would require a variety of tasks by the regulated public. This section documents the Coast Guards assessment of the proposed rules changes and the steps States would need to take as a result. Not all tasks would need to be carried out by all the States. In this section, the Coast Guard notes first the tasks that apply to all States. Next are the tasks that result from the proposed rule. We split these tasks into categories to better calculate the costs, since some tasks apply to some States and others apply to other States, depending on their current level of compliance with existing rules.
Below is a list of all costs to the regulated public:

Costs to the Regulated PublicStates All 56 States would need to be familiarized with the proposed rule and complete the task of reviewing the States website. Upon review of the States procedures and websites, some States may need to make updates. These are discussed in more detail below.
The Coast Guard estimates that States would spend 0.5 hour to become familiarized with the proposed rule.22 A
manager would perform this task. A
manager would spend another 0.5 hour to review the States procedures and website to make a determination if anything would need to change in response to the proposed rule Cost = 56
States 0.5 hour State managers wage rate. All 56 States may potentially need to update their websites, which would be accomplished by a computer
technician. The Coast Guard estimates that this task would take 1 hour and would be performed by a computer technician at the direction of a manager.23 However, as the Coast Guard does not have an estimate on how many States would need to update their website, the cost is considered only a potential cost and is not factored into the cost analysis.
Although not explicitly required, some States may send email notifications or a press release to interested parties e.g., such as the media, recreational boaters, boating associations, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, etc. Another 0.5 hour is estimated for a State manager to write a notification of regulatory change for the public.24
We estimate these as one-time costs to the State.
