SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of an
existing information collection.
The NOAA Marine Debris Program
(MDP) supports national and
international efforts to research,
prevent, and reduce the impacts of

Frm 00014

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

marine debris. The MDP is a centralized
office within NOAA that coordinates
and supports activities, both within the
bureau and with other federal agencies,
which address marine debris and its
impacts. In addition to inter-agency
coordination, the MDP uses
partnerships with state and local
agencies, tribes, non-governmental
organizations, academia, and industry to
investigate and solve the problems that
stem from marine debris through
research, prevention, and reduction
activities, in order to protect and
conserve our nation’s marine
environment and ensure navigation
safety.
The Marine Debris Research,
Prevention, and Reduction Act (33
U.S.C. 1951 et seq.) as amended by the
Marine Debris Act Amendments of 2012
(Pub. L. 112–213, Title VI, Sec. 603, 126
Stat. 1576, December 20, 2012) outlines
three central program components for
the MDP to undertake: (1) Mapping,
identification, impact assessment,
removal, and prevention; (2) reducing
and preventing fishing gear loss; and (3)
outreach to stakeholders and the general
public. To address these components,
the Marine Debris Act authorized the
MDP to establish several competitive
grant programs on marine debris
research, prevention and removal that
provide federal funding to non-federal
applicants throughout the coastal
United States and territories.
The terms and conditions of the
financial assistance awarded through
these grant programs require regular
progress reporting and communication
of project accomplishments to MDP.
Progress reports contain information
related to, among other things, the
overall short and long-term goals of the
project, project methods and monitoring
techniques, actual accomplishments
(such as pounds of debris removed from
an ecosystem, numbers of volunteers
participating in a cleanup project, etc.),
status of approved activities, challenges
or potential roadblocks to future
progress, and lessons learned. This
information collection enables MDP to
monitor and evaluate the activities
supported by federal funds to ensure
accountability to the public and to
ensure that funds are used consistent
with the purpose for which they were
appropriated. It also ensures that
reported information is standardized in
such a way that allows for it to be
meaningfully synthesized across a
diverse set of projects and project types.
MDP uses the information collected in
a variety of ways to communicate with
federal and non-federal partners and
stakeholders on individual project and
general program accomplishments.

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: Preliminary Case Study
Assessing Economic Benefits of Marine
Debris Reduction.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0756.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,600.
Average Hours per Response: On-site
intercept, 2 minutes; full survey, 10
minutes.
Burden Hours: 729.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision of a currently approved
information collection. A pretest was
conducted at one site, and the survey is
now being extended to 4 sites.
The National Ocean Service, Office of
Response and Restoration, Marine
Debris Program is sponsoring this data
collection. The Marine Debris Program
was created under the 2006 ‘‘Marine
Debris Research, Prevention, and
Reduction Act’’ (33 U.S.C. 1951 et seq.)
which was reauthorized in 2012 as the
‘‘Marine Debris Act Amendments of
2012’’ (H.R. 1171) as part of the Coast
Guard Maritime Transportation Act
(H.R. 2838). Among other activities, the
bill requires NOAA ‘‘. . . to address the
adverse impacts of marine debris on the
United States economy . . .’’ To that
aim, the proposed data collection will
support the goals of a larger study
whose purpose is to develop a regional
economic model to estimate the value to
local economies of increased spending
on recreation and tourism from the
reduction or elimination of marine
debris on beaches in seven coastal
communities of the continental U.S. The
data collection will consist of on-site
sampling to generate a pool of
respondents who will be sent a mail
survey that asks questions related to
beach attributes, local beach familiarity,
number of beach trips taken, and ratings
of marine debris encountered while on
these trips. Onsite sampling will involve
intercepting people at several beaches in
each study area and asking them to
participate in a mail survey. For those
willing to take the mail survey, a brief
onsite interview will ask the
respondent’s name and mailing address,
as well as several demographic
questions such as age and education.
Those who do not agree to participate in
the mail survey will only be asked the
demographic questions, whether they
participated in a single or multi-day

PO 00000

Frm 00015

Fmt 4703

trip, and zip code. A mail-survey mode
will be used for the follow-up
questionnaire. The mail survey
instrument will combine a selection of
questions from a previously OMBapproved survey instrument used in
Orange County, California with new
contingent behavior questions
developed specifically for this study to
determine the impact of the presence of
marine debris on respondents’
recreation choices. This data collection
will determine the impact of marine
debris on survey respondents’ recreation
choices at these seven coastal
communities and represents the first
component to be undertaken as part of
the larger study.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time.
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 OIRA_Submission@
