Abstract: This is a request for revision and extension for an approved information collection. This collection seeks approval for NOAA MDP to update instructions to reduce potential confusion from federally funded grantees on progress reporting. It also seeks approval for 3 additional reporting forms that will aid MDP grantees in recording and tracking detailed project accomplishments. The additional reporting mechanisms include a table with marine debris removal information broken down by state within the existing progress report structure, a spreadsheet for grantees to collect performance measure information across sites and subawards, and a spreadsheet for additional metrics related to large debris removal and habitat monitoring. This information is necessary for NOAA to effectively oversee the expenditure of public funds awarded through the program, to ensure both cost-effectiveness and programmatic goals are met. This collection also involves data collection for the NOAA Restoration Center (RC) and NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP), however this revision is only applicable to the NOAA Marine Debris Program (MDP). Previous CRCP and RC sections remain unchanged.
