SUBJ: Fiscal Year 2027 Estimated State Boating Safety Grant Program Allocations

As required by 46 U.S.C. 13108(a)(1) and (2), this memo provides notice of the anticipated percentage and dollar amounts of Federal financial assistance to be allocated for State Recreational Boating Safety (SRBS) Programs in Fiscal Year (FY) 2027.

The enclosed schedule reflects estimated allocations only. These estimates are based on anticipated revenue in the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund that will be available for distribution in FY 2027. The National Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Program will receive an estimated $149,912,567 from a percentage distribution of FY 2026 trust fund receipts.

As provided by Public Law No: 117-58 and 46 U.S.C. 13104(c), we have deducted $16,345,888 for the costs of the Coast Guard administering the National RBS Program, including the National RBS Survey; and $6,678,334 to be made available for grants to national nonprofit public service organizations. This results in a total estimated distribution of $126,888,345 to the States and Territories.

The estimated amounts to be allocated under 46 U.S.C. 13104(a)(1) are based on 55 States and Territories currently meeting SRBS Program reporting requirements. The amounts allocated under 46 U.S.C. 13104(a)(2) and (3) are based on the numbered vessels reported as of December 31, 2025, and the States’ expenditures reported for FY 2025. Under the provisions of 46 U.S.C. 13108(a)(3), the enclosed estimated allocations and percentages may be increased or decreased because of later or more accurate reports received from all States.

The actual amount distributed in FY 2027 will also be changed as necessary based on revenue adjustments, the return of unused administrative funds, and the recovery of unobligated prior-year funds from the States.

The anticipated due date for application submission for the FY 2027 cycle is August 31, 2026.

Applications must be submitted via Grants.gov.
