Abstract: This is a request for a reinstatement of an information collection with change. This information collection will focus on a different geographical location (the coast of Oregon) and include focus groups, which will help guide any revisions necessary to the survey instrument. NOAA will also revise the title of this collection from “Quantitative Assessment of Spatially-Explicit Social Values Relative to Wind Energy Areas: Outer Continental Shelf Offshore North Carolina” to “Resident Perceptions of Offshore Wind Energy Development off the Oregon Coast.” The National Ocean Service (NOS) proposes to collect data on the opinions, values, attitudes, and behaviors of Oregon Coast residents relative to offshore wind energy development. This information will be used by BOEM, NOAA, and others to understand what is important to communities; understand how differing values and perceptions across communities influence local receptivity to proposed development; and improve communication efforts targeted to residents, enabling agencies to more effectively and efficiently direct outreach and community inclusion activities. Additionally, NOAA has a vested interest in offshore wind energy development, from many perspectives, including as it relates to the resilience, well-being, and sustainability of coastal communities.
