Collection of estuary habitat restoration project information (e.g., location, habitat type, goals, status, monitoring information) will be undertaken in order to populate a restoration project database mandated by the Estuary Restoration Act of 2000. The database is intended to provide information to improve restoration methods, provide the basis for required reports to Congress, and track estuary habitat acreage restored. Estuary habitat restoration project information will be submitted by habitat restoration project managers through an interactive Web site, and will be accessible to the public via Internet for data queries and project reports.

The current estimate of burden (103 hours annually) for the information collection renewal is 684 hours less than the previous burden estimate of 787 hours. This estimated decrease is a result of a previous overestimate of the burden, due to the following reasons: (1) as of March 2009, only ten projects have been selected for funding through the Estuary Restoration Act (ERA), two of which have been completed. (2) Very few voluntary submissions have been provided, in part, because NOAA has focused efforts on importing data for existing projects funded by Federal agencies from those agencies’ internal tracking systems. Most of the few projects that had been manually submitted for inclusion in NERI already had project entries in the database. (3) Currently, all of the data in the inventory (except the ERA-funded project records) is imported from existing tracking systems. The time required to input this data does not fit under our burden hours since Federal staff are doing the primary data collection and data entry.
