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: Quantitative Assessment of
Spatially-Explicit Social Values Relative
to Wind Energy Areas: Outer
Continental Shelf Offshore North
Carolina.
OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for
a new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 3,225 (300
for a pretest; 2,925 for the final survey).
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes.
Burden Hours: 1,075.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
new information collection.
Pursuant to the Outer Continental
Shelf Land Act, the National
Environmental Policy Act and the
Coastal Zone Management Act, this
request is for a new data collection to
benefit the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
(BOEM), and policy-makers on the state
and local level in North Carolina. BOEM
has identified three wind energy areas
for potential development on the outer
continental shelf of North Carolina. The
National Ocean Service (NOS) proposes
to collect data on the knowledge,
beliefs, social values, and attitudes of
North Carolina and South Carolina
residents relative to marine and coastal
landscapes, alternative energy
production options, and offshore wind
energy development. Respondents will
be sampled from households in eight to
ten coastal counties.
The required information will be used
to objectively assess the level of support
and/or opposition for offshore wind
energy development in the region, as
well as identify the relevant issues and
concerns most salient to residents. The
information will be used by BOEM,
NOAA, and others to improve agency
understanding about the beliefs, social
values, attitudes, and concerns of
people potentially affected by offshore
wind energy development. Such
information will be used to ascertain the
possible sociocultural outcomes of
offshore wind energy development in
the region, such as an enhancement or
reduction in enjoyment of the coastal
landscape/seascape. Additionally,
information collected will be used to
improve communication efforts targeted
to residents, enabling agencies to more
effectively and efficiently direct
outreach and community inclusion
activities.
