SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This is a request for a new collection of information. The 
objective of the survey and focus groups is to collect information on 
the current use and knowledge of NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) 
products and perceptions of various rip current products. The focus 
groups will ask participants to explain their responses. This 
information will help create better rip current products used by the 
National Weather Service (NWS) to protect lives and prevent injury from 
rip currents.

II. Method of Collection

    The primary data collection vehicles will be an internet-based, 
public survey and face to face focus groups. The focus groups will 
target lifeguards and decision makers. Telephone and personal 
interviews may be employed to supplement and verify survey responses.
