We also want to use beaches on the Atlantic coast for our shots. The coastlines in Europe where turbines exist are very different from the coastline in the United States. Comment: The geology of the Atlantic OCS indicates it is a natural gas province. For example in the 1970s, there was a natural gas discovery off the coast of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Natural gas production accidents do not yield oil and tar balls. A better hypothetical would be beach closures from hurricanes and nor’easters. The respondents should be familiar with these kinds of events. Response: These hypothetical beach closure questions have been dropped altogether. Comment: There is a question asking for personal annual income from working. There are many who have considerable income without working. Is it the intent not to capture this information? They have the time and the resources to be frequent ocean beach users. Response: The income question has been changed to read: ‘‘Which category is closest to your personal annual income before taxes?’’ Comment: The stratum sample sizes for the survey gives the appearance of being arbitrary. Consider that New Jersey & Delaware has a stratum of population of 8.8 million with a sample size of 200 participants. That works out to 22.73 participants per million. Compare to Pennsylvania 10.4 million population with 150 participants which is 14.42 participants per million. So citizens of Delaware are about 50% more likely to be selected as compared to Pennsylvania citizens. For full disclosure the University of Delaware is conducting the survey and I am a resident of Pennsylvania who is also a property owner in New Jersey. Further someone in Memphis, TN, is part of the survey universe, however someone living in Vermont is excluded. I have family members who live in Vermont and frequently visit the Jersey Shore. Response: Based on this comment and comments from others we have redesigned the sampling strategy to include two separate samples: A General Population Sample and an Oversample Sample. The former is a random draw from all individuals in the 20 states in our region (now including Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Georgia) and the latter is a random draw from all beachgoers in the same states. Since both of these samples are randomly drawn, the representation is proportional to state populations. Comment: A good property of selected stratum is to have homogeneity within VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:54 Oct 15, 2015 Jkt 238001 the stratum (https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Stratified_sampling). The use of New York state as a stratum fails this principal. There is Long Island which is the beach community. New York City a major city with near by ocean beaches. Up state New York has ocean beaches which are more distant. Does not make sense to put Hampton’s and Buffalo in the same stratum! Response: See comment to previous question. We no longer stratify by state. Comment: The total sample size for the participants of 1,400 is reasonable for obtaining summary insights. The data collection includes attributes, such as distance to the beach, education, number of children, employment status and income. If this survey has a goal of obtaining insights at this kind of granular level then the sample size will need to be adjusted to meet these goals. Response: Our budget limits us to the sample size we are using. Comment: The statistical survey design should follow Dillman’s Tailored Design Method (https:// www.amazon.com/Internet-Phone-MailMixed-Mode-Surveys/dp/1118456149/ ref=dp_ob_title_bk). This is the approach that is being used by BOEM in Alaska in the Arctic Communities Survey. Response: Our survey follows Dillman’s method fairly closely. It may depart in a few instances based on our own judgment calls, but it is largely based on Dillman. Comment: The commenter made the following recommendations: • Establish clear goals for the information collection, which then drives the design. • Use Dillman’s Tailored Design Method. • Create stratums that are approximately homogeneous. Suggested stratums: Near Ocean Beaches (SC coast, Outer Banks, Tidewater VA, Delmarva, Jersey shore, Long Island, Rhode Island, Cape Cod), Metro Areas (Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, Boston metro areas), Inland (Other parts of SC, NC, VA, MD, Central PA, NJ, CT, MA), Distant Areas (OH, WV, TN, KY, Western PA, Upstate NY, VT, NH). • Use zip codes for location of respondents. • Publish the raw data so it can be independently analyzed. Response: We addressed most of the recommendations in our responses. As noted, our survey was designed with a specific economic model in mind—a travel cost model; we use Dillman’s approach fairly closely, but not always; we no longer stratify by geography; and we will use zip codes for location of the PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62569 respondents. In addition, we plan to publish the raw data.
