Copied from the DWR web site today.
"We are currently updating the 2018 online certification course with new information. We expect the test to be ready by March 1, 2018. We appreciate your patience."
I hope that it doesn't take us as long to answer the questions as it is taking them to write them up.[  ]

The DWR has an online quiz that you can take and print out the form that is good for the entire year. This way you don't have to fill out the slips that they have at the ramp every time that you launch.

Yep, that's assuming there are any. Right now I'm carrying a stack of pre printed daily forms in my truck so all I have to do is put the date on them.

Does this also apply to kayaks? I’m assuming it does but you never know.

Yes, if it floats it’s a boat.

A boater must carry em. I often fish at waters where there are signs and form holders and no forms in them. If a person is out only when the usual crowd is out then the sites are tended to.

I fish Willard Bay a lot. South marina very often is out of them in the holder when I get there just as the gate opens at 6 A.M. And I have been asked for my AIS at Benson Marina, and Bear River Bird Refuge. Neither of those are state parks, but the DNR Rangers patrol them. And they are water ways that are navigable by boats, tubes, kayaks, canoes, etc so the rules apply. Neither of those places have daily AIS forms in a box anywhere. When I have my normal annual copy, it's always on the dash of my truck.

Yep, normally I have 2 copies of the annual. One in truck, one in boat in a plastic protector. Now until the annual one is available I will put a daily copy in boat each time I launch.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]The AIS Certification is STILL not up and running as of Mar 4, 2018. Here is a link to the program page: [url "https://dwrapps.utah.gov/wex/dbconnection.jsp?examnbr=509527"]AIS Program[/url][/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I usually print out half-a-dozen forms, put them in document protective covers and keep a copy in my boats and vehicles with a couple spares at home in case I loose one. [ ]

The DWR is a typical bureaucracy. A document like the AIS test has to be reviewed by everybody and his uncle. And just to prove their importance, every reviewer simply HAS to make some change, no matter how small or wrong. Then the whole review process has to start over, which induces yet more changes, which begets another round of review, which...
You get the idea.

Now that they have to take Deer Creek off the list it will take six months for them to figure out how to deal with that.

OK Bob, I googled APR and got annual percentage rate, which I have a hunch is not what you meant. Clue us in on what APR means.

Airman Performance Report =APR, given to every airman on a yearly bases. Not sure if officers get them but I'd assume they do.

We did. Ours were called OERs Officer Effectiveness Rating.
I had to re-write one on a junior officer under me once, because the squadron commander couldn't understand the words I used. When I suggested that his poor vocabulary wasn't my problem, it did not go over well.
Bureaucracies are everywhere.

LOL, you were pretty gutsy to say that to a squadron commander.
