SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    National marine sanctuary regulations provide that the public may 
nominate special places of the marine environment through the sanctuary 
nomination process (15 CFR part 922). Persons wanting to submit 
nominations for consideration should submit information on the 
qualifying criteria and management considerations for the site to be 
nominated. The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries reviews the 
submissions, which could result in the nomination being added to an 
inventory of areas that NOAA may consider for sanctuary designation at 
some point in the future. Sanctuary designation is a separate public 
process that would be conducted pursuant to the requirements of the 
National Marine Sanctuaries Act, and all other applicable laws.

II. Method of Collection

    Electronic applications submitted via email and paper nominations 
submitted via regular mail.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-0682.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular (extension of a currently approved

profit organizations; not-for-profit institutions; state, local, or 
tribal government; federal government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 29 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 290.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $120 in recordkeeping/

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
