Agency: National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Coastal Zone Management
Program Administration.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0119.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(revision and extension of a current
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 34.
Average Hours per Response:
Performance Reports, 72 hours;
assessment and strategy documents, 260
hours; Section 306A questionnaire and
documentation, 25 hours; amendments
and routine program changes, 15 hours;
CNP documentation, 240 hours; CZMA
Performance Management System, 25
hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 8,916.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection.
In 1972, in response to intense
pressure on United States (U.S.) coastal
resources, and because of the
importance of U.S. coastal areas, the
U.S. Congress passed the Coastal Zone
Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), 16
U.S.C. 1451 et. seq. The CZMA
authorized a federal program to
encourage coastal states and territories
to develop comprehensive coastal
management programs. The CZMA has
been reauthorized on several occasions,
most recently with the enactment of the
Coastal Zone Protection Act of 1996
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:18 Jul 18, 2022
Jkt 256001
(CZMA as amended). The program is
administered by the Secretary of
Commerce, who in turn has delegated
this responsibility to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) National
Ocean Services (NOS).
The coastal zone management grants
provide funds to states and territories to:
implement federally-approved coastal
management programs; complete
information for the Coastal Zone
Management Program (CZMP)
Performance Management System;
develop multi-year program assessments
and strategies to enhance their programs
within priority areas under Section 309
of the CZMA; submit documentation as
described in the CZMA Section 306A
for specific construction, acquisition,
and educational projects; submit
requests to update their federallyapproved programs through
amendments or program changes; and
develop and submit state coastal
nonpoint pollution control programs
(CNP) as required under Section 6217 of
the Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization
Amendments.
Revisions: The CZM performance
report guidance will undergo minor
updates that will ensure consistency
with NOAA/NOS grants requirements as
well as CZMA strategic priorities. The
revised CZM performance measure
guidance will provide clarification for
reporting on competitive and multi-year
awards, as well as additional guidance
on financial reporting requirements. The
revised Coastal Zone Management Act
Program Change Procedures revisions
provide a more efficient program change
process for states.
The CZMA Section 306A guidance
will also likely undergo minor updates
to address several technical issues that
arose from the 2018 guidance update as
well as clarify several minor policy
issues. However, NOAA does not
anticipate any changes to the record
keeping requirements or time estimates
for collecting the necessary
documentation.
Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal
government.
Frequency: On occasion, depending
on the collection instrument.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: Coastal Zone
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1451, et
seq.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for a new collection
of information.
The data collection is sponsored by
DOC/NOAA/National Weather Service
(NWS)/Office of Dissemination (DISS)
in consultation with the NWS
Communications Division. Weather.gov
is the main entry point to NWS
forecasts, warnings, and other
information for a diverse user
community, including the public,
partners and emergency managers,
academia, researchers, and employees.
The user interface is intended to serve
many purposes for these audiences but
regular feedback through Customer
Satisfaction Surveys from all users
emphasizes varying levels of difficulty
locating basic information. Such
difficulty diminishes the overall
customer experience. Additionally,
during high impact events, Weather.gov
is known to suffer performance issues
due to increased traffic.
The Weather.gov Survey is permitted
under 15 U.S.C. Ch. 111, Weather
Research and Forecasting Information. It
also advances the NWS Strategic Plan
(2019–2022) ‘‘Transformative ImpactBased Decision Support Services (IDSS)
and Research to Operations and
Operations to Research (R2O/O2R). The
Survey also addresses the NWS Weather
Ready Nation (WRN) Roadmap (2013)
Sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.8, and
3.1.4.
The purpose of this collection is to
help determine the appropriate web
content for weather.gov so the customer
experience can be improved and the
content can be better accessed and used.
NWS is looking to improve
functionality, ease of use, and
formatting but feedback on any other
areas of weather.gov that NWS should
consider updating is welcome as well.
The collection will create a high-level
data requirements document that
identifies a set of high-priority NWS
products, services, and observations that
provide mission-critical, timely, and
reliable information to make decisions
with when seconds count. The
document will also identify high-level
partner requirements for accessibility
(mobile versus desktop), timeliness, and
reliability.
This information would be collected
on a one-off basis and analyzed by
Forrester Research, who has assisted
NWS in creating a survey instrument
and would provide NWS with a
summary of findings, raw data and
access to interactive ‘‘dashboards’’, or
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:18 Jul 18, 2022
Jkt 256001
tools, to visualize the aggregated data.
Respondents include the general public,
defined as (adults ages 18+) who reside
in the United States, as well as NWS
partners. Forrester will oversee
recruitment of U.S. adults by an online
market research company that
aggregates large panels of people who
sign up to complete internet surveys.
Respondents will be asked questions
about their preferred way of getting
weather information (including weather
on regular days and during severe/
hazardous weather), their use of
Weather.gov and other weather
websites, interest in different types of
weather information on a website,
priorities and preferences in accessing
weather-related information online, and
preferred format of receiving weather
information. This data collection serves
many purposes, including gaining a
better understanding of the online
weather information needs (including
information about hazardous weather)
of different customer groups, including
historically underserved and socially
vulnerable communities, how they
prefer to receive this information, how
they would like the Weather.gov main
page to be organized, what additional
functionality they expect that would
make them feel better prepared for
hazardous weather, and has the
potential to explore possible
correlations and causal relationships
with other observed variables of
interest. This data will be used by the
OSTI in NWS to develop a set of website
content requirements to improve the
structure and navigation on
Weather.gov.
II. Method of Collection
Since the primary objective is to
inform website content requirements for
Weather.gov, the method of data
collection will be a web-based survey
interface. Survey sample respondents
(from an online panel) will be nationally
representative, using demographic
questions captured in the survey to set
quotas that mirror the distribution of
demographic groups in the U.S. and
Territories. The survey will be
translated to Spanish.

IV. Request for Comments

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Minimize the
reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you may ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
