    NOAA supplies the nation with information, products and services 
that are essential public goods used in public and private sectors, 
science institutions and households around the world. Because NOAA's

serves. This survey instrument will be used by NOAA's Office of 
Education and the Gulf of Mexico Regional Collaboration Team to obtain 
information used to assess NOAA's accessibility, responsiveness and 
respect for partners. These parameters are three of the seven 
parameters included in the Kellogg Engagement Test, which the SAB 
recommended NOAA use for assessing engagement with constituents. One 
objective of the survey is to collect responses to provide NOAA with 
information and feedback from its constituents that will lead to 
greater emphasis placed on the needs of NOAA partners, techniques to 
improve NOAA's products and services, and general improvement in the 
accessibility and responsiveness of NOAA to constituents. A longer term 
objective is for this survey to become a standard NOAA tool accessing 
engagement with constituents.
