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
[[Page 1055]]
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.

Not-for-profit institutions.
