This request is for a revision and extension of a current information collection. This information collection is being revised to include the collection instruments approved under OMB Control Number 0648-0777, after which that control number will be discontinued. The title of this collection is being changed to encompass both collections. The evaluation of visitor demographics, experiences, and opinions about visitor centers and exhibits is needed to support the conservation, education, and management goals of the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) to strengthen and improve the stewardship, sustainable use, and protection of natural, cultural, and historical resources. Under the jurisdiction of ONMS and to satisfy legal mandates, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is authorized to conduct evaluations, such as this information collection, under the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act (section 314(c)) to ensure education programs have measurable objectives and milestones as well as clear, documented metrics for evaluating its programs. We therefore are seeking to find out if people visiting ONMS’ visitor centers and exhibits are receiving our new messages by conducting an optional exit survey. Conducting thorough evaluations will aid in vital decisions regarding exhibit renovation, new exhibits, interpretation programs, and educational content.

OMB Control Number 0648-0777 is being merged into this control number. This increases the number of responses by 7867 and the burden hours by 1049. The Mokupapapa Discovery Center Survey estimates are updated to reflect an increase in the number of respondents and increasing the response time from 7.5 minutes to 8 minutes. These adjustments reflect an increase of 148 responses and 22 burden hours annually.
