ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT

The draft NAO necessitates additional paperwork be completed by staff and line office activities throughout NOAA. The following list is intended to provide assistance to field activities in developing their own policies by preventing multiple "re-inventions" of the wheel through out NOAA and by spurring the policy development thought process. The policy snippets link leads to categorized small boat policy statements that have been borrowed from field activity boat policies currently in existence. If you have a good idea, a refinement, or addition to any of the examples or content listed below, please send it to the Small Boat Coordinator for inclusion on this site.

• Sample Program Vessel Policy - Developed by and for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
• Policy Snippets - Arranged alphabetically by topic.
• VOM TOC - Tables of Contents (TOC) from actual vessel operation manuals
• Essential Policy Elements - Certain policy statements are essential to a boat safety and management system. Look here to see if your activity has included them.
• Float Plans - Printable forms and ideas for tracking multi-day operations.
• Boat Budgets - Laundry list of potential costs of ownership and operation
• Got Regs? Contact the SBP Coordinator to see if you can get a copy of what you need on CD!
