SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The NOAA Restoration Center (NOAA
RC) provides technical and financial
assistance to identify, develop,
implement, and evaluate communitydriven habitat restoration projects.
Awards are made as grants or
cooperative agreements under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act of 2006, 16 U.S.C. 1891a and the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, 16
U.S.C. 661, as amended by the
Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970.
The NOAA RC requires specific
information on habitat restoration
projects that we fund, as part of routine
progress reporting. Recipients of NOAA
RC funds submit information such as
project location, restoration techniques
used, species benefited, acres restored,
stream miles opened to access for
diadromous fish, volunteer
participation, and other parameters.
The required information enables
NOAA to track, evaluate and report on
coastal and marine habitat restoration
and demonstrate accountability for
federal funds. This information is used
to populate a database of NOAA RCfunded habitat restoration. The
database, with its robust querying
capabilities, is instrumental to provide
accurate and timely responses to NOAA,
Department of Commerce,
Congressional and constituent inquiries.
It also facilitates reporting by NOAA on
the Government Performance and
Results Act ‘‘acres restored’’
performance measure. Grant recipients
are required by the NOAA Grants
Management Division to submit
periodic performance reports and a final
report for each award; this collection
stipulates the information to be
provided in these reports.
There are two progress report forms
for simplicity. The Performance Report
Form focuses on tracking project
implementation, milestones,
performance measures, monitoring, and
expenditures. The Administrative Form

only applies to recipients with an award
that will implement multiple projects. It
collects information on the
administration of the award, the number
of projects supported by the award, and
award expenditures.
II. Method of Collection
NOAA’s preferred method of
collection is submission of electronic
fillable forms attached to an award file
in Grants Online, NOAA’s award
management system. If the recipient
does not have electronic access to
submit the form, mailed paper forms
will be accepted.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0472.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular (extension of
currently approved information
collection).
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions; state, local, or tribal
government; business or other for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
130.
Estimated Time per Response:

Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.
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

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title:
OMB Control Number: 0648–0646.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,765.
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes.
Burden Hours: 652.
Needs and Uses: 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
