Washington State Parks & Recreation Commission <br />submitted at least annually with the A-299 but may be updated throughout the year. This form, and <br />instructions on how to fill it out, is located at http://mle.parks.wa.gov/. <br />Agencies which have not completed all currency training tasks required may submit a statement of <br />explanation and attach it to the A-299 form. State Parks recognizes that many different circumstances <br />could prevent training from being completed (wildfires, maintenance issues, staffing shortfalls, etc.). <br />Each circumstance will be evaluated on its own merits. <br />Agencies are required to list any additional training courses their personnel have completed on the A- <br />299 web form. This helps State Parks in maintaining an up-to-date database of marine law enforcement <br />capabilities across the state and helps identify training subjects and courses that are needed, but not <br />offered within the state. <br />Vessels and Equipment <br />Agencies must supply the necessary boating safety patrol equipment, including vessels capable of <br />serving the minimum requirements outlined in this guidance. Patrol vessels must be properly marked <br />and properly equipped as provided in chapter 88.02 RCW and chapter 352-60 WAC. Agencies are also <br />required to provide State Parks with an inventory of all vessels along with details for how they are <br />equipped each year by filling out the A-299 form. Information required on that form includes: <br />Vessels: State Parks requires the following data on each vessel: <br />o Vessel name <br />o Manufacturer <br />o Radio equipped (Y/N). Radio equipped means the vessel has an agency radio installed <br />or "hardwired" Non -radio equipped boats are vessels that do not have radios installed. <br />Portable radios may be carried on these boats, but they would be considered non -radio <br />equipped. Examples include personal watercraft, drift boats, Jon boats, kayaks, and <br />inflatable rafts (motorized or non -motorized). <br />o SECTOR equipped (Y/N): SECTOR equipped boats are the patrol vessels in your agency <br />that are SECTOR equipped with a computer or tablet plus printer and scanner (installed <br />or "hardwired" to include portable cased units). Non -SECTOR equipped boats are <br />vessels that do not have a computer, tablet, printer installed or if these are not carried <br />aboard as a cased kit. <br />o Model <br />o Length <br />o Propulsion type <br />o Horsepower <br />o Year <br />o Funds used to purchase the vessel (local, state, or federal) <br />o Percent of time employed for the RBS mission. <br />Page 10 of 18 <br />
