SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This is a request for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The NOAA Marine Debris Program
(MDP) operates within the Office of
Response and Restoration as part of
NOAA’s National Ocean Service. The
MDP supports national and
international efforts to research,
prevent, and reduce the impacts of
marine debris. The MDP is the lead
program within NOAA that coordinates
and supports activities, both within the
bureau and with other federal agencies,
to address marine debris and its

impacts. In addition to inter-agency
coordination, the MDP uses
partnerships with state and local
agencies, tribes, non-governmental
organizations, academia, and industry to
investigate and solve the problems that
stem from marine debris through
research, prevention, and reduction
activities, in order to protect and
conserve our nation’s marine
environment and ensure navigation
safety.
The Marine Debris Research,
Prevention, and Reduction Act (33
U.S.C. 1951 et seq.) as amended by the
Marine Debris Act Amendments of 2012
(Pub. L. 112–213, Title VI, Sec. 603, 126
Stat. 1576, December 20, 2012), and the
Save our Seas Act and Save our Seas 2.0
Act in 2018 and 2020, respectively. The
Save our Seas 2.0 Act was signed into
law on December 18, 2020 (Pub. L. 116–
224). These authorities outline a variety
of different program components for the
MDP to undertake in addressing the
marine debris issue: Marine debris
mapping, identification, impact
assessment, research, removal, and
prevention. To address these
components, the Marine Debris Act and
the subsequent amendments listed
above authorize the MDP to establish
several competitive grant programs on
marine debris research, prevention, and
removal to support non-federal entities
throughout the coastal United States
and territories with financial and
technical assistance. Other
supplemental appropriations, such as
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 and
the United States-Mexico-Canada
Agreement (USMCA) Supplemental
Appropriations Act of 2019 (Pub. L.
116–113, Title IX), have provided
authority to the MDP for marine debris
work in dealing with hurricane recovery
and international transboundary marine
debris issues as well.
The terms and conditions of the
financial assistance awards made
through these grant programs require
regular progress reporting and
communication of project
accomplishments to MDP. Progress
reports contain information related to,
among other things, the overall short
and long-term goals of the project,
project methods and monitoring
techniques, actual accomplishments
(such as tons of debris removed from an
ecosystem, numbers of volunteers
participating in a cleanup project, the
number of educational interactions with
the public, etc.), status of approved
activities, challenges or potential
roadblocks to future progress, lessons
learned, and budget expenditures. This
information collection enables MDP to
monitor and evaluate the activities

supported by federal funds to ensure
accountability to the public and to
ensure that funds are used in a manner
consistent with the purpose for which
they were appropriated. It also ensures
that reported information is
standardized in such a way that allows
it to be meaningfully synthesized across
a diverse set of projects and project
types. MDP uses the information
collected in a variety of ways to
communicate with federal and nonfederal partners and stakeholders on
individual project and general program
accomplishments.
