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: Shipboard Observation Form for Floating Marine Debris.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0644.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 5.
    Average Hours per Response: 30 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 3.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a currently 
approved information collection.
    This data collection project is coordinated by the NOAA Marine 
Debris Program, and involve recreational and commercial vessels 
(respondents), shipboard observers (respondents), NGOs (respondents) as 
well as numerous experts on marine debris observations at sea. The 
Shipboard Observation Form for Floating Marine Debris was created based 
on methods used in studies of floating marine debris by established 
researchers, previous shipboard observational studies conducted at sea 
by NOAA, and the experience and input of recreational sailors. The goal 
of this form is to be able to calculate the density of marine debris 
within an area of a known size. Additionally, this form will help 
collect data on potential marine debris resulting from future severe 
marine debris generating events in order to better model movement of 
the debris as well as prepare (as needed) for debris arrival. This form 
may additionally be used to collect data on floating marine debris in 
any water body.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; not for profit 
organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    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 OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395-5806.
