SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Pursuant to H.R. 3684 (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) and
the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA), this request is for a revision
and extension of an information collection. This information collection
will focus on a different geographical location (Gulf of Mexico (GoM))
and include focus groups, which will help guide any revisions necessary
to the survey instrument. The title of the collection is being changed
to reflect this revision.
The National Ocean Service (NOS) proposes to collect data on the
opinions, values, and attitudes of GoM residents relative to natural
and nature-based infrastructure for the purpose of shoreline
stabilization or habitat restoration. Respondents (age 18 years and
older) will be randomly sampled from households in GoM coastal
counties. This information will be used by NOAA, state and local
decision-makers, and others to assess the value, benefits, and
perceived efficacy of federal investments in habitat restoration and/or
climate adaptation projects that use natural or nature-based
infrastructure. NOAA has a vested interest in the potential use of
natural and nature-based infrastructure, from many perspectives,
including as it relates to the resilience, well-being, and
sustainability of coastal communities.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected with a combination of mail
recruitment with push-to-web and mail-back survey instrument.
