(c)
Identification
of
the
legal
authority
and
responsibilities
of
both
parties and a
provision
that
these
are
not
abrogated
by
the
agreement.
(d)
Mutual
recognition
and
honoring
of
the
Coast

Report
of
Boarding

(CG-4100)
and

includes
State

[The
Freedom of
Information
Act
(FOIA)
requires
release
of
information
from
Agency
files
unless
that
information
falls
under
one of
FOIA's
exemptions
.
Exemption
(b)
(3)
of
the
FOIA
requires
an
agency
to
withhold
information
that
is
specifically
exempted
from
disclosure
by a Federal
statute.
46
U.S.C.
6102
(b)
requires
State
casualty
reports
to be treated by
the
Coast
Guard
in
the
same
manner
State
agencies
would
do so
under
State
law.
Accordingly,
agreements
shall
refer
to
any
applicable
State
law
and
where
appropriate
provide
that
the
Coast
Guard
will
handle
all
information
received
from
the
state
in
the
manner
required
by
State
law.
Since
the
State
statute
could
be
modified
during
the
period
of
the
agreements, reference to
the
State
statute
should
be
made
rather
than
incorporating
the
specific
limitations.]

Training
of
personnel
at
both
Federal and
State
facilities
or
through
other
agreed
means.
(g)

and
rescue
efforts
on
all
waters.
(h)
Issuing
permits
for
marine
parades
and
regattas.
(i)
Coordination
of
public
boating
education
efforts.
(j)
Referral
of
numbering
and
other
violations
of
State
boating
regulations
to
the
States
for
civil
penalty
processing.
(k)
Referral
of
manufacturer-related
or
other
Federal
violations
to
the
Coast
Guard
for
disposition.
(4)
State
Aids
to
Navigation
agreements
are
governed
by 33
CFR
Part
66.05
and
are
normally
separate
from
other
cooperative
agreements. Since
Aids
to
Navigation
agreements
impinge
on
Coast
Guard
programs
not
directly
related
to
boating
safety,
such
agreements
should
not
be
made
a
part
of
this
cooperative
agreement.
Aids
to
Navigation
agreements, if
needed,
shall
incorporate
the
provisions
described
in
the
Code
of Federal
Regulations
and
the
Aids
to
Navigation
Administration
Manual
(COMDTINST
M16500.7).
A
copy
of
such
agreements
shall
be
filed
with
Commandant
(G-OPB-2).
