Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Proposed Rules
BLA,37 this was accomplished at no cost to the State.38
The remaining 11 States that do not currently title vessels do title vehicles, and their vehicle titling systems could add vessels. As an example, Connecticut previously a non-titling State adopted UCOTAV and its Department of Motor Vehicles began issuing titles for vessels.39 This process is analogous to registering a motor vehicle. In other words, at the time a person buys a car, the owner must register and title the car with the cognizant state. Likewise, a vessel owner would now be able to register and title vessel at the same time
and in the same place. Connecticut did not incur any new costs associated with this transition since it used the existing infrastructure, and the change was completed as a part of an information technology update as per the State BLA.40
The 10 States that have adopted or have begun adopting the UCOTAV
model have engaged in the tasks noted in this text as costs of compliance. For example, they have already collaborated with the Coast Guard regarding their vessel titling system updates. These States would not incur additional costs because they elected to adopt the
UCOTAV model prior to this regulation. These States would not require the use of a computer technician to upgrade the computer system because the conversion has taken place already.
No further actions would be needed by States in this situation. As noted earlier, these States would already be familiar with and would have reviewed their existing procedures as a result of the rulemaking. The Coast Guard invites comments on any additional costs that would be incurred by States that are currently pre-proposal in the process of adopting UCOTAV.

We discuss the derivation of cost data in the following paragraphs. We estimate the approximate loaded hourly
labor rates of State employees as follows: Manager $94.30;
administrative assistant $33.81;
computer technician $67.98; and lawyer $124.57. The loaded wage
factor is 1.74 for non-managerial State workers and 1.56 for managers at the State level, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics BLS data. See table 7 for details.
37 According to the Virginia BLA, updates to the system are included as a part of routine information technology maintenance. https community.nasbla.

38 The governor of each State appoints a single agency to be the recipient and administrator of grant funds received from the State Recreational Boating Safety Grant Program, which is authorized under 46 U.S.C. Chapter 131. These State agencies in turn appoint a BLA to be the States single point
of contact for the purposes of administering the grant program. Although duties can vary from State to State, their primary function is to administer the recreational boating safety program within the State. Every State and territory of the United States has an assigned BLA. The BLA for Virginia is an employee with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
39 No changes would be required to any States systems to facilitate population of the VIS. Data received from the States for inclusion in the VIS
would be handled by the Coast Guard contractor
and reformatted as necessary to populate the VIS
database. We do not expect States to incur additional costs as the cost is already captured under the existing Coast Guard long-term contract for management and maintenance of the VIS.
