Abstract: The mission of the DOI Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Program (NRDA Restoration Program) is to restore natural resources injured as a result of oil spills or hazardous substance releases into the environment. Researchers with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the DOI Office of Policy Analysis are conducting this information collection at the request of the NRDA Restoration Program. The NRDA Restoration Program is weighing the pros and cons of collecting restoration cost data as part of contractor reporting requirements for restoration projects associated with Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) cases. The collection described under this request is designed to refine potential expenditure and project summary questions prior to developing e contractor reporting requirements. This is a continuation of collection OMB-1028-0107 that was initiated in 2013. Case studies and methods developed through this original collection are published in a USGS Open File Report titled “Estimating the Economic Impacts of Ecosystem Restoration—Methods and Case Studies” . USGS and the DOI Office of Policy Analysis are modifying the survey instruments and analysis methodologies based on lessons learned from the original effort. This collection will result in additional case studies that will test modified survey instruments and analysis methods. Expenditure data will be collected and economic impacts will be estimated for approximately 10 DOI restoration projects per year for 3 years.
