SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved collection.
NOAA provides educators an
opportunity to gain first-hand
experience with field research activities
through the NOAA Teacher at Sea
Program. Through this program,
educators spend up to 4 weeks at sea on
a NOAA research vessel, participating
in an on-going research project with
NOAA scientists. The application
solicits information from interested
educators: basic personal information,
teaching experience and ideas for
applying program experience in their
classrooms, plus two recommendations
and a NOAA Health Services
Questionnaire required of anyone
selected to participate in the program.
Once educators are selected and
participate on a cruise, they write a
report detailing the events of the cruise
and ideas for classroom activities based
on what they learned while at sea.
These materials are then made available
to other educators so they may benefit
from the experience, without actually
going to sea themselves. NOAA does not
collect information from this universe of
respondents for any other purpose.
II. Method of Collection
Forms can be completed on line and
submitted electronically, and/or printed
and mailed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ONMS
serves as the trustee for 14 marine
protected areas encompassing more than
170,000 square miles of ocean and Great
Lakes waters from the Hawaiian Islands
to the Florida Keys, and from Lake
Huron to American Samoa. National
marine sanctuaries protect our Nation’s
most vital coastal and marine natural
and cultural resources, and through
active research, management, and
public engagement, sustains healthy
environments that are the foundation for
thriving communities and stable
economies. One of the many ways
ONMS ensures public participation in
the designation and management of
national marine sanctuaries is through
the formation of advisory councils. The
Sanctuary System Business Advisory
Council (Council) has been formed to
provide advice and recommendations to
the Director regarding the relationship
of the ONMS with the business
community. Additional information on
the Council can be found at https://
sanctuaries.noaa.gov/management/ac/.
Matters to Be Considered: This
meeting of the Council will provide an
opportunity for council representatives
to hear about ONMS interest in
developing a business plan that
analyzes the work conducted within the
National Marine Sanctuary System and
identifies the gaps between what ONMS
wants to accomplish and the resources
and opportunities available to it.
Council representatives will be asked to
provide their perspective on the utility
of this type of plan as well as its
content, structure, and format. The
agenda is subject to change. The agenda
