The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management

information under the provisions of the
[[Page 8435]]
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Economic Impacts of Hawaii Reef Diving and Snorkeling.
OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for a new information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 4,150.
Average Hours per Response: 10 minutes.
Burden Hours: 692.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a new collection of
information.
The objective of the survey will be to understand divers' and
snorkelers' expenditures associated with recreational coral reef diving
activities in Hawaii. The survey will also collect information on
divers' attitudes, preferences, and concerns about recreational diving
and coral reefs health in Hawaii. We are conducting this survey to
improve our understanding of divers' expenditure patterns and to
estimate the economic impact of coral reef related spending. Results of
the survey will be used to inform coastal resource management planning
and establish a baseline for outreach and education. The expenditure
survey is also expected to provide useful information for local
economic and business interests. A similar survey (OMB Control No.
0648-0746) was implemented in south Florida and was successfully
completed in November 2017.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
