SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 58072]]
I. Abstract
This is a request for extension of an existing information
collection.
NOAA's National Ocean Service's U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing
System (IOOS) Office is requesting approval to continue a web-based
survey of employers who provide either services or infrastructure to
IOOS or organizations that add value to the IOOS data and other outputs
by tailoring them for specific end uses. The purpose of the survey and
overall project is to gather data to articulate the collective and
derived value of the IOOS enterprise and to create a profile of
businesses and organizations who are involved with providing services
or utilizing the data for other specific end uses. This survey was
conducted in FY2015 and FY2020, and is intended to be repeated on a
regular basis in order to track the growth of the U.S. Ocean
Enterprise. The survey is a critical data collection piece of the
project and is necessary in order to collect demographic, financial,
and functional information for each organization with regard to their
involvement with IOOS. The final deliverable of this project is an
analytic report detailing the findings of the web survey and the
analysis of the employer database. The results will demonstrate the
size and economic impact of IOOS data to the United States marine ocean
sector.
