Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
When creating a Request to Archive
oceanographic data or information at the
United States (U.S.) National Centers for
Environmental Information (NCEI),
well-organized and complete metadata
describing those data are needed for
long term understanding and use of
those data. The Send2NCEI web
application provides a web-based form
for easily collecting required and
optional descriptive metadata to
describe oceanographic data in a way
that supports Executive Order 12906
and structures those metadata to
conform to the internationally used ISO
19115 Geospatial Metadata suite of
standards. Descriptive metadata informs
the suitability of data for use by future
data users and should provide critical
context about how data were collected,
what techniques and measurements
were made, and data quality
characterizations. Information about the
data provider or other individuals is
only used by NCEI to contact the data
provider with questions about
submitted data, about the status of the
data in the archival process, and to
provide appropriate scientific
recognition and attribution for
submitted data. Send2NCEI will be used
by earth, ocean, and atmospheric
scientists and their data managers.
Affected Public: Not for profit
institutions; state, local or tribal
governments; business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to OIRA_Submission@
omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The purpose of this information
collection is to obtain information from
individuals in the seven United States
(U.S.) jurisdictions containing coral
reefs. Specifically, NOAA is seeking
information on the knowledge, attitudes
and reef use patterns, as well as
information on knowledge and attitudes
related to specific reef protection
activities. In addition, this survey will
provide for the ongoing collection of
social and economic data related to the
communities affected by coral reef
conservation programs.
The Coral Reef Conservation Program
(CRCP), developed under the authority
of the Coral Reef Conservation Act of
2000, is responsible for programs
intended to enhance the conservation of
coral reefs. We intend to use the
information collected through this
instrument for research purposes as well
as measuring and improving the results
of our reef protection programs. Because
many of our efforts to protect reefs rely
on education and changing attitudes
toward reef protection, the information
collected will allow CRCP staff to
ensure programs are designed
appropriately at the start, future
program evaluation efforts are as
successful as possible, and outreach
efforts are targeting the intended
recipients with useful information.

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected in the
means most efficient and effective in the
individual jurisdiction. For the three
years covered by this clearance we
expect to use face-to-face interviews in
American Samoa, and as appropriate,
face-to-face, telephone and/or internetbased survey techniques in Hawaii and
Florida, Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico,
and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
