Received via email from USCG 3 March 2004

"A contractor has completed the Sponson report for the Office of Boating
Safety. It is currently being reviewed by the National Association of State
Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA), Boats & Associated Equipment Committee.
I expect to have their input within the month and hope to release the report
shortly thereafter.

We will attempt to make an electronic version of the report
available to the public via the Office of Boating website at
http://www.uscgboating.org/ .
