Actually the USCG did come out with requirements in August 2022 that basically says comply with state level Numbering systems, Wear a PFD, Comply with 33 CFR 83 Inland Navigation Rules, and comply with ECOS (a non-issue for fliteboard owners). The link to the info is the Video description.

Many state run lakes and reservoirs require registration and mussel tags. It doesn't hurt to register your board as it opens up more places for your to ride and it's super easy.
NEVER use 3rd party screws unless you know the pitch and material of the Fliteboard screws. If you get the thread pitch wrong, it’s a recipe for stripping the threads! And if you get the wrong coating of screw, it can rust and seize! Just buy spare screws from Fliteboard.
The specification for the threading and mm length are in the user manual. They are M6 x"__"mm 316 stainless (marine grade) which are readily availible most hardware store especially boat shops. The screws also do not need special coating as you are supposed to clean and reapply tefgel periodically to avoid seizing.
