SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection. A few questions

usefulness of information collected.
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.
NOAA’s Office for Coastal
Management (OCM) conducts periodic
evaluations of the 34 coastal
management programs and 29 research
reserves and produces written findings
for each evaluation. OCM 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. A few
questions will be revised to clarify and
improve the usefulness of responses for
the partners and stakeholders’ surveys.
