Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 39 / Wednesday, February 28, 2007 / Notices
Form Number(s): None.
OMB Approval Number: 0648–xxxx.
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Burden Hours: 10,539.
Number of Respondents: 15,686.
Average Hours Per Response: Auto,
air and cruise ship visitors: On-site
survey, 4 minutes; mail-back surveys, 15
minutes; other visitor surveys: On-site:

minutes; resident mail survey, 1 hour;
and supply-side surveys, 5 minutes.
Needs and Uses: This is an
approximate ten-year replication of the
study ‘‘Linking the Economy and
Environment of the Florida Keys/
Florida Bay’’ which established baseline
measurements for recreation/tourist
uses of the Florida Keys National
Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). The
baseline measurements were taken in
1995–96 for the broader recreation/
tourist uses, while for reef use the
baseline measurements were taken in
2000–2001. Baseline measurements
were taken on number of users and
recreation/tourist uses of the Florida
Keys, along with estimates of economic
value of resource use, economic impact
associated with these uses on the local
and regional economies, importance/
satisfaction ratings for 25 natural
resource attributes, facilities and
services, and demographic profiles of
users. This application also includes
establishment of new baselines for
knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of
Sanctuary management strategies and
regulations for recreation/tourist user
groups, adds evaluations of management
alternatives for coral reefs, and adds
information that will support better
predictions of how users will respond to
management/regulations.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time only.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
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 of 1995, Pub.
L. 104–13 (44 U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)).
Bureau: International Trade
Administration (ITA).
Title: Commercial Service Market
Segmentation Study of Moderate U.S.
Exporters Focus Groups.
Agency Form Number: ITA–XXXX.
OMB Number: None.
Type of Request: Regular Submission.
Burden: 108 hours.
Number of Respondents: 72.
Average Hours per Response: 1.5
hours.
Needs and Uses: Expanding U.S.
exports is a national priority essential to
improving U.S. trade performance. The
Department of Commerce, ITA, U.S.
Commercial Service (CS) serves as the
key U.S. government agency responsible
for promoting exports of goods and
services from the United States,
particularly by small and medium-sized
enterprises, and assisting U.S. exporters
in their dealings with foreign
governments. The CS is mandated by
the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 and the President’s
Management Agenda Fiscal Year 2002
to improve program performance and
achieve better results for the American
people. In accordance with these
mandates, the CS needs to address the
weaknesses and opportunities for
improvement identified by the Office of
Management and Budget’s 2003
Program Assessment Rating Tool
(PART). To address these weaknesses
and opportunities and in an effort to
remain relevant to the marketplace and
optimize our respective operations, the
Commercial Service, Manufacturing
Extension Partnership (MEP), Census
Bureau (Census), and Export-Import
Bank (Ex-Im) have embarked on a
market segmentation research study of
moderate U.S. exporters. The objectives
are to gain market knowledge and
generate statistically valid
characterizations about the needs and
buying behavior of exporting

companies, with a particular focus on
Moderate exporters, which are defined
as those U.S. firms that currently export,
but on a limited or reactive basis and
whose international sales comprise less
than 10% of total sales or whose
international sales growth is less than
10% per year. Respondents benefit from
the collection of this information
because it will be used to improve
services provided to the public. Without
this information, the CS/MEP/Census/
Ex-Im team is unable to systematically
determine the needs, attitudes and
behaviors of U.S. exporters. This effort
will gather statistically valid market
intelligence on SME attitudes and
`
behaviors vis-a-vis making international
sales and working with a government
consultant.
Affected Public: U.S. companies that
are recruited by Pacific Consulting
Group, the vendor hired by the U.S.
Commercial Service for this research.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker,
(202) 395–3897.
