I. Abstract

tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

This request is for revision and
extension of a current information
collection.
The Coastal Zone Management Act of
1972, as amended (CZMA; 16 U.S.C.
1451 et seq.) requires that state coastal
management programs and national
estuarine research reserves developed
pursuant to the CZMA and approved by
the Secretary of Commerce be evaluated
periodically. This request is for to
collect information to accomplish those
evaluations.
Section 1458 of the CZMA and
implementing regulations at 15 CFR
923, Subpart L, require that state coastal
management programs be evaluated
concerning the extent to which the state
has implemented and enforced the
program approved by the Secretary,
addressed the coastal management
needs identified in 16 U.S.C. 1452(2)(A)
through (K), and adhered to the terms of
any grant, loan, or cooperative
agreement funded under the CZMA.
Section 1461(f) of the CZMA and
implementing regulations at 15 CFR
921, Subpart E, require that national
estuarine research reserves be evaluated
with regard to their operation and
management, including education and
interpretive activities, the research
being conducted within the reserve, and
be evaluated in accordance with section
1458 of the CZMA and procedures set
forth in 15 CFR 923.
NOAA’s Office of Ocean and Coastal
Resource Management (OCRM)
conducts periodic evaluations of the 34
coastal management programs and 28
research reserves and produces written
findings for each evaluation. OCRM has
access to documents submitted in
cooperative agreement applications,
performance reports, and certain
documentation required by the CZMA
and implementing regulations.
However, additional information from
each coastal management program and
research reserve, as well as information
from the program and reserve partners
and stakeholders with whom each
works, is necessary to evaluate against
statutory and regulatory requirements.
Different information collection subsets
are necessary for (1) coastal
management programs, (2) their partners
and stakeholders, (3) research reserves,
and (4) their partners and stakeholders.
II. Method of Collection
Coastal program and reserve manager
respondents will receive information
requests/questionnaires via email, and
submittals will be made via email.
Partners and stakeholders of coastal
management programs and of reserves

will receive a link to a web-based survey
tool and respond through the survey
tool.
As part of this submission, a few
questions will be modified to clarify the
information that should be provided as
part of the information requests/
questionnaires sent to the coastal
program and reserve managers. The
overall number of survey questions for
the partners and stakeholders will be
reduced.
