Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Economic Impacts of Reef Diving and Snorkeling
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on January 19, 2021 (86 FR 5142) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Economic Impacts of Reef Diving and Snorkeling.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0765.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently
approved collection).
Number of Respondents: 3,500.
Average Hours per Response: 25 minutes.

Needs and Uses: The objective of the survey will be to understand
divers' and snorkelers' expenditures associated with recreational coral
reef diving activities in Hawaii, American Samoa, CNMI, Guam, and the
Caribbean. The survey was previously implemented in Hawaii in 2019 and
this revision proposes to make the survey national in scope. The title
of the collection will be changed to Economic Impacts of Reef Diving
and Snorkeling from Economic Impacts of Hawaii Reef Diving and
Snorkeling. The survey will also collect information on divers'
attitudes, preferences, and concerns about recreational diving and
coral reefs health. This survey will help to improve our understanding
of divers' and snorkelers' expenditure patterns and to estimate the
economic impact of coral reef related spending. Results of the survey
will be used to inform coastal resource management planning and
establish a baseline for outreach and education. The expenditure survey
is also expected to provide useful information for local economic and
business interests.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
