Chapter 35). Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Title: Evaluation of Interpretative Signs Located Along the California Coastline Part of the California Signage Plan Initiative. OMB Control Number: None. Form Number(s): NA. Type of Request: Regular submission (request for a new information collection). VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:49 Aug 14, 2012 Jkt 226001 Number of Respondents: 400. Average Hours per Response: 7 to 8 minutes. Burden Hours: 50. Needs and Uses: This request is for a new information collection. The California Signage Plan is an organized and systematic way to develop and install graphic signs along the California coastline and inland that interpret the natural and cultural resources of a particular location and its connection to the sanctuaries located within California. To date, a strategic approach to evaluating interpretive signs produced by the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries has not been developed; therefore, we do not know if the messages we are trying to convey to our audiences are effective. We are proposing to conduct an online and onsite survey of approximately 400 visitors to the locations where signs are currently installed. The questions outlined in the survey examine the public’s use of the signs, understanding of the signs’ content, understanding and awareness of protected areas/zones and how those messages are portrayed in regulatory signs, demographics of the target audience, interest in alternate sources of interpretive content, perception of the National Marine Sanctuaries identity, and awareness of the national marine sanctuary system. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Frequency: One-time only. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. OMB Desk Officer: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov. Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained by calling or writing Jennifer Jessup, Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer, (202) 482–0336, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at JJessup@doc.gov). Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov. Dated: August 9, 2012.

The ASF is an option for grantees for the establishment or reorganization of zones and can permit significantly greater flexibility in the designation of new subzones or ‘‘usagedriven’’ FTZ sites for operators/users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of the Board’s standard 2,000-acre activation limit for a zone. The application was submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on August 8, 2012. FTZ 133 was approved by the Board on October 29, 1986 (Board Order 338, 51 FR 40238, 11–5–1986) and expanded on March 31, 2011 (Board Order 1749, 76 FR 19746, 4–8–2011).
