SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This notice is for the request of a new
information collection.
The creation of the Puget Sound
Partnership (PSP) allowed for a group of
private and public entities, local
citizens, tribes and businesses to begin
to collectively work toward restoring the
ecological health of the Puget Sound.
With the PSP’s inception, the Puget
Sound ecosystem has become a national
example of ecosystem-based
management (EBM) implementation.
The Partnership Action Agenda
indentified 80 near-term actions that are
required for ecosystem recovery. These
actions, however, will require specific
performance measures.
Ecosystems can contain numerous
species, and a mean level of species
placement within a predator/prey chain
or food web can serve as an ecological
indicator. Similarly, measures of
relative biodiversity may provide
indications of ecological health and
therefore function as ecological
indicators. Such indicators can facilitate
Ecosystem-based Management, when

target levels for indicators exist. Because
targets are an expression of the desired
state of the ecosystem, establishing
targets must include both ecological
understanding and societal values. This
project will develop a unique approach
for identifying scientifically rigorous
ecosystem targets that explicitly
considers social perspectives. For this
reason, the Northwest Fisheries Science
Center seeks to conduct social norm
analyses which involve a survey of
Puget Sound community stakeholders.
Stakeholders will be asked, via
telephone survey, a series of general
questions regarding their views on the
Puget Sound environment and the
desirability of a range of potential
ecosystem conditions for the Puget
Sound.
A random digit dial phone survey will
be conducted. The survey will be
voluntary, and contacted individuals
may decline to participate. Respondents
will be asked to respond to statements
regarding their perceptions of the health
of the Puget Sound. Demographic and
employment information will be
collected so that responses can be
organized based on a stakeholder
typology. This survey is essential
because data on social norms, values
and beliefs in the Puget Sound region
are sparse; yet, they are critical to the
development of sound ecosystem health
targets.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents will be contacted via
telephone for administration of the
survey.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(request for a new information
collection).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 250.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
