Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Economic Value of the Research in the Olympic Coast and 
Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuaries.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (request for a new information 
collection).
    Number of Respondents: 106.
    Average Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 27.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for a new information collection.
    NOAA is conducting research to: (1) Identify if the sanctuary helps 
to attract research or creates value-added to researchers; (2) estimate 
the economic impacts (jobs, income, output) supported by research that 
occurs in sanctuaries because of expenditures occurring within local 
region. Two sites, Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) and 
Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (SBNMS) will be evaluated. 
The information will aide in SBNMS and OCNMS condition reports. 
Further, the research will help to provide baseline data for economic 
impact and contribution of sanctuaries to local area economies.
    The required information will involve surveys of researchers (from 
profit, non-profit and government agencies including local, state, 
federal and tribal). Information will be obtained on expenditures, 
sources of funds, non-market value, type of research, technologies 
used, use of NOAA equipment, reasons for the chosen location, and the 
researcher's involvement with sanctuary staff.
    ONMS will work to identify all researchers who worked within the 
sanctuary within the past ten years. This will be the population of 
interest. Sanctuary site staff, literature reviews and the research 
permit database will be used to identify the population of researchers 
for each site.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit 
institutions; state, local or tribal government; federal government.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: November 14, 2017.
