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: Survey of Uses of NOAA
Ecological Forecasting Products in
Western Lake Erie, the Gulf of Mexico,
and Chesapeake Bay.
OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for
a new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 600.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 150.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
new information collection.
In recent years, harmful algal blooms
(HABs) and waterborne pathogens such
as Vibrio vulnificus have caused major
health, ecological, and economic
concerns. HABs and other waterborne
pathogens can lead to a number of
impacts including impaired drinking
water, reduced recreational
opportunities, and human health
impacts from either ingesting affected
fish/water or contact with the bloom. To
better serve the public and its
stakeholders, NOAA has developed
forecasts of HABs extent and severity in
the western Lake Erie and in the Gulf of
Mexico and is finalizing development of
a forecast for Vibrio vulnificus in
Chesapeake Bay. These forecast
products are designed to provide
stakeholders and the public with
information that can be used to make

better decisions that would mitigate the
impacts of HABs and waterborne
pathogens.
This request is for a set of related
surveys to collect information on how
stakeholders use NOAA’s ecological
forecast products in western Lake Erie,
the Gulf of Mexico (the western shore of
Florida and the Texas coastline), and
Chesapeake Bay. The surveys are
designed to collect similar information
from the public and other stakeholders
across the three geographic regions
covered by the forecast products. The
information from these surveys will
assist NOAA in understanding how
stakeholders, including the public,
would use the forecast products. This
information will help NOAA further
improve upon research, development,
and delivery of forecast products nationwide.
For western Lake Erie and the Gulf of
Mexico, NOAA plans two related
surveys in each region. First, NOAA
will collect information from the public
on how using the information in the
forecast products would affect decisions
related to fishing, swimming and
boating. A companion survey would ask
charter boat operators on Lake Erie how
information in the forecast would affect
their decisions regarding fishing
operations. These activities (fishing,
swimming and boating) reflect the types
of activities likely to be affected by
HABs in each area. Drinking water is
also at risk in Lake Erie due to HABs,
but NOAA has information on how
drinking water facilities respond to
HABS and is also discussing use of the
forecast products with a small (fewer
than 10) number of drinking water
facilities.
For Chesapeake Bay, NOAA would
implement one survey focused on
recreational swimmers. The primary
risk posed by Vibrio vulnificus is
through contact with the bacterium;
thus, NOAA determined that focusing
on recreational swimmers use of the
forecast product would be the most
productive approach.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
