DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Economic Valuation of Natural and Nature-Based Infrastructure
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 September 22, 2022 (87 FR 57868) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Economic Valuation of Natural and Nature-Based
Infrastructure.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0788.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Revision and extension.
Number of Respondents: Focus groups: 48; Questionnaire: 6,500.
Average Hours per Response: Focus groups: 1 hour; Questionnaire: 20
minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,215.
Needs and Uses: 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)). Therefore, this is a request for focus groups
to help guide any revisions necessary to the survey instrument. Upon
completion of these focus groups, a revision will be submitted for the
revised survey instrument. Also, NOAA is revising the title of this
collection from Economic Analysis of Shoreline Treatment Options for
Coastal New Hampshire to Economic Valuation of Natural and Nature-Based
Infrastructure to better describe this collection.''
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.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: This is a one-time information collection for this
region, although the collection may be deployed to other regions in the
future.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: H.R. 3684 (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act)
and the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA).
