>From the U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Division

As many of you may recall, the U. S. Coast Guard Infoline (a toll-free phone
number formerly referred to as the Boating Safety Hotline) was discontinued
October 1, 2006 due to budget shortfalls.  At that time, the Coast Guard
requested our partner organizations to remove the 800 number from active
websites and customer assistance phone services, and to discontinue the use
of the number in all printed material.  

It has recently come to the Coast Guard's attention that the CG Infoline 800
number (800-368-5647) has been privately reactivated and now leads to a
secondary 800 number that is unrelated to boating safety when dialed.  All
Coast Guard field units have been directed to obliterate this number from
all forms and publications where it appears.  All replacement stock of these
forms and publications no longer carry the CG Infoline number.

Due to the fact that the boating public is still continuing to attempt to
reach us at this number, we are asking for your assistance in ensuring that
your membership is aware that the Coast Guard Infoline/Hotline is no longer
in use and to discontinue the placement of the number in all publications
and services.  It is further requested that, where possible, you obliterate
this number from any existing stock of materials in order to prevent any
misdirection or confusion for the recreational boating public.  

Your cooperation and assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated, and
thank you for all you do to make recreational boating safer for our boating
public.
