                DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
                National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
                Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
                 The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management
                and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of
                information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
                U.S.C. Chapter 35).
                 Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
                 Title: Awareness and application of long-term monitoring data in
                the Pacific Islands.
                 OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
                 Form Number(s): None.
                 Type of Request: Regular (request for a new information
                collection).
                 Number of Respondents: 160.
                 Average Hours per Response: Surveys, 30 minutes; focus groups, 90
                minutes.
                 Burden Hours: 170.
                 Needs and Uses: This request is for a new collection of
                information. The objective of the study is to understand the types of
                available socioeconomic data, types of data used and data gaps
                identified, regarding coastal conservation management, fisheries and
                other marine conservation management, and efforts (including
                opportunities and barriers) in integrating biophysical and
                socioeconomic data. The voluntary survey and interviews will assess the
                degree to which the available socioeconomic data are being used and
                have met the needs of the different natural resource management and
                conservation programs in the U.S. jurisdictions and affiliations in the
                Pacific island region. Results of the survey and interviews are
                expected to assist in guiding any future modifications of socioeconomic
                and biophysical indicators, data collecting tools, approaches, and
                communications of results.
                 Affected Public: Individuals or households; not for profit
                institutions; state, federal and tribal governments; Federal
