This request is for the extension of a current information collection. 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 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 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), codified at 33 U.S.C. § 893(a)) 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.

There is an increase in the number of respondents for the Visitor Center Surveys, due to having 3 new visitor centers since the last survey was approved. Additionally, the IC Mokupapapa Discovery Center Survey was removed since that IC was using the same set of questions as the other Visitor Centers. The burden for Visitor Center Surveys was updated to incorporate this burden.
