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 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Pilot Test of the Elwha River
Dam Removal and Floodplain
Restoration Ecosystem Service
Valuation Project Survey.
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number(s): NA.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(request for a new information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,300.

Jkt 229001
Burden Hours: 650.
Needs and Uses: National Ocean
Services’ Office of Response and
Restoration, Assessment and Restoration
Division and the National Marine
Fisheries Services’ Office of Habitat
Conservation are requesting approval for
a new information collection to conduct
a pilot study to test the Elwha River
Dam Removal and Floodplain
Restoration Ecosystem Service
Valuation Survey it has developed.
The removal of two hydroelectric
dams on the Elwha River is one of the
largest dam-removal projects in U.S.
history. This project, along with
restoration actions planned for the
floodplain and drained reservoir basins,
will have numerous impacts to people
of the surrounding region. Impacted
groups include recreators who engage in
river activities such as fishing and
rafting, reservoir users, and members of
Native American tribes for whom the
river has cultural, environmental, and
economic significance. The dam
removal and restoration actions could
also have value to people throughout
the Pacific Northwest, regardless of
whether they visit the Elwha River or
Olympic Peninsula. Such nonuse value
may be significant because the dam
removal and habitat restoration will
restore the river to more natural
conditions and will restore populations
of salmon and other fish species as well
as forests and wildlife. This project will
also address an important gap in
research on indirect and nonuse values
provided by habitat restoration.
A study of the value of ecological
restoration is of particular interest in
this location because significant
baseline ecological data are available to
allow a comparison of ecological values
with some of the more obvious use
losses associated with the reservoir. The
ability to link results of the study to
precise measures of ecosystem changes
will be useful in applying the study to
future restoration sites, enabling NOAA
to evaluate a broader range of ecosystem
services provided by future restoration
actions.
NOAA has developed a nonmarket
valuation survey to administer to people
living in Washington and Oregon. This
survey has been tested with small focus
groups and one-on-one interviews to
ensure the survey questions and choice
scenarios presented are accurate, easily
understood, and the least burdensome.
The next step in the survey
development process is to administer a
draft survey instrument to test several,
complex methodological approaches for
presenting information to respondents.
In particular, NOAA plans to test
variations of the choice table.
