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 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Socio-economics of Whale
Watching in the Channel Islands
Region: Survey of Whale Watching
Passengers.
OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for
a new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,560.
Average Hours per Response: On-site
survey, 20 minutes; mail-back survey,
15 minutes.
Burden Hours: 654.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
new information collection.
NOAA is sponsoring a class project at
the Bren School of Management &
Science at the University of California,
Santa Barbara to estimate the market
and non-market economic values
associated with the reduction in risk of
whale strikes by different scenarios of
changes in traffic lanes and/or vessel
speeds for major commercial vessels
operating in the region of southern
California where the Channel Islands
National Marine Sanctuary is located.
Surveys will be conducted of the
passengers aboard the for hire operation
boats to obtain their market and nonmarket economic use values for the
reduction in the risk of whale strikes.
Additional information will be obtained
on importance-satisfaction ratings of key
natural resource attributes, facilities and
services along with demographic
profiles of passengers. This survey is a
companion piece to a survey of the forhire operators, approved under OMB
Control No. 0648–0717, approved on
7/1/2015.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time.
