respondent burden, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before July 7, 2015.

SUMMARY:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection. The purpose of this

E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM

08MYN1

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 89 / Friday, May 8, 2015 / Notices
information collection is to obtain
information from individuals in Merizo,
Guam. Specifically, NOAA is seeking
information on the knowledge, attitudes
and perceptions of watershed and coral
reef conditions, as well as information
on knowledge and attitudes related to
specific reef protection activities in the
Manell-Geus watershed and adjacent
waters. 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.
Manell-Geus is one of ten sites in the
nation selected as a focus area for
NOAA’s Habitat Blueprint initiative.
Community support and engagement are
key elements towards successfully
building resilience. We intend to use the
information collected through this
instrument for research purposes as well
as measuring and improving the results
of our coral 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 NOAA
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.
