Section 87.199 requires owners of
406.025 MHz Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELT's) to register
information such as name, address, and type of vessel with the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The

identify the aircraft in distress and to select the proper rescue
units and search methods. The information is used by NOAA to
maintain a database used to provide information about the owner of
an activated ELT of an aircraft in distress. If the collection were
not conducted, NOAA would not have access to this information
...
