DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title:
OMB Control Number: 0648-0646.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,765.
Average Hours per Response: 20 minutes.
Burden Hours: 652.
Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
The purpose of this information collection is to obtain information
from individuals in the seven United States (U.S.) jurisdictions
containing coral reefs. Specifically, NOAA is seeking information on
the knowledge, attitudes and reef use patterns, as well as information
on knowledge and attitudes related to specific reef protection
activities. In addition, this survey will provide for the ongoing
collection of social and economic data related to the communities
affected by coral reef conservation programs.
The Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP), developed under the
authority of the Coral Reef Conservation Act of 2000, is responsible
for programs intended to enhance the conservation of coral reefs. We
intend to use the information collected through this instrument for
research purposes as well as measuring and improving the results of our
reef protection programs. Because many of our efforts to protect reefs
rely on education and changing attitudes toward reef protection, the
information collected will allow CRCP staff to ensure programs are
designed appropriately at the start, future program evaluation efforts
are as successful as possible, and outreach efforts are targeting the
intended recipients with useful information.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected in the means most efficient and
effective in the individual jurisdiction. For the three years covered
by this clearance we expect to use face-to-face interviews in American
Samoa, and as appropriate, face-to-face, telephone and/or internet-
based survey techniques in Hawaii and Florida, Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: Every five to seven years.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
Dated: May 11, 2018.

NOAA PRA Clearance Officer.
