Decal Distribution
2014 Workshop
Manual Update
Open Discussion
Andy Render DVC VE
VSC DECAL DISTRIBUTION
During 2012 and 2013 ANSC ran out of decals in August
Example:
Calendar year 2013
223,000
125,000
97,000
126,000
Total Decals Available
Total VSCs conducted
Decals issued to boaters
Unused decals
WE NEEDED A BETTER DISTRIBUTION PROCESS
DEVELOPING THE PROGRAM
Based on individual flotilla activity
Overall increase in decal distribution to SO VE staff
Take the DSO VE out of the decal shipping business
and let them “manage” decal distribution
Increase our ability to support special projects / events
Example: In late July received a request for 700
decals for a special event where 1,000 paddle craft
were expected to attend- Last year, in late July we did
not have 700 decals in ANSC
DEVELOPED A FORMULA
FLOTILLAS
Took individual flotilla “total” VSCs – (Not only “passed VSCs”)
July 1, 2012 thru June 30, 2013
Added 10%
Rounded up to the next 10
DIVISIONS
Added responsibility to the Division Staff Officers
Allocated 5 decals for every certified VE in their Division
Resulted in increased decals sent to most SO VEs
DISTRICTS
DSOs focal point in requesting decals
THE REORDERING PROCESS
Follow the Parallel Staffing Process
When a flotilla achieves a 50% (or more)
passed rate of their allocated VSC decals…
Contact their SO VE
SO VE verifies & contacts DSO VE
DSO VE contacts BC VEV
Committed to 24 hour turn around time
to notify ANSC and next day shipment
Total turn around time 5-7 working days.
Most of this involves postal service delivery time

2014 VESSEL EXAMINER WORKSHOP
Why was there a need for the workshop ?
Inconsistencies nationally in Examiners adhering to standards
Failure of vessels for not having “recommended” items
Passing vessels not meeting existing standards
Misconceptions in exactly what is required
Many VSC requirements passed down by trainers
were not accurate
A need to build consistency in our Vessel Examiner cadre.
TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT SUCCESS OF PROGRAM
1- Did we help build consistency within our Vessel Examiners ?
2- How many Vessel Examiners completed the workshop ?

• Stress importance of continuous Partner visitations
• Increase involvement in:
• newcomer’s orientation
• public affair and training activities
• Identify PV in REYR and get them requalified ASAP
• Support Small Craft Chart update program
• Prompt reporting of visits and hours
On The Horizon
• BOAT PRO Point of Sale Training Program
– The No. 1 goal of both marine industry
and boating safety professionals is to
help today’s boat buyers maximize their enjoyment
when spending time on the
water.
– Behind this goal is the simple understanding that proper
education leads to a lifetime of fulfillment aboard a
boat.
Boat Pro Point of Sale
• http://www.safeboatingcouncil.org/
Boat Pro Point of Sale
• Educate sales professionals on making the right
decisions about buying safety equipment and the
contents of a Coast Guard safety kit.
On The Horizon
• Manufacturers Visitation Program
• Pilot project for recreational boat manufacturers (RBM)
in Tampa/St. Pete, FL area
• RBM industry highly fragmented
• Many not aware of American Boat & Yacht Council
(ABYC) standards
• Train Auxiliarists on standards to inform RBM
• Potential to expand if pilot project is successful
Review of Past Issues
Partner Identification Coding Sheet
• CG 5093 / ANSC-7047
• Updated CG RBSVP list
• Removed from AUX Nat’l
Forms website in 2013
• Obsolete & should no longer
be used
• Some Districts developed their
own tracking
Small Craft Facility Updating
• NOAA 77-5a
• Used to update Small
Craft Chart (SCC)
• 14 Apr 14, form replaced
by paperless reporting
system on internet
What is Small Craft Facility
Updating?
• Auxiliarists assisting NOAA & NOS in the updating
the SCC and Coast Pilot.
• Conducting visits to marine facilities that service
small craft for the purpose of updating their
services.
• The program visit is an ideal time to do this.
Small Craft Facility Updating
• Small Craft Chart
– Intended to be easier to
use in the cockpit of a
small boat
– Cover a pretty large area
of the coast.
– Contain a bit more detail
of shallow venues and
narrow rivers and creeks.
