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: Preliminary Case Study
Assessing Economic Benefits of Marine
Debris Reduction.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0756.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,600.
Average Hours per Response: On-site
intercept, 2 minutes; full survey, 10
minutes.
Burden Hours: 729.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision of a currently approved
information collection. A pretest was
conducted at one site, and the survey is
now being extended to 4 sites.
The National Ocean Service, Office of
Response and Restoration, Marine
Debris Program is sponsoring this data
collection. The Marine Debris Program
was created under the 2006 ‘‘Marine
Debris Research, Prevention, and
Reduction Act’’ (33 U.S.C. 1951 et seq.)
which was reauthorized in 2012 as the
‘‘Marine Debris Act Amendments of
2012’’ (H.R. 1171) as part of the Coast
Guard Maritime Transportation Act
(H.R. 2838). Among other activities, the
bill requires NOAA ‘‘. . . to address the
adverse impacts of marine debris on the
United States economy . . .’’ To that
aim, the proposed data collection will
support the goals of a larger study
whose purpose is to develop a regional
economic model to estimate the value to
local economies of increased spending
on recreation and tourism from the
reduction or elimination of marine
debris on beaches in seven coastal
communities of the continental U.S. The
data collection will consist of on-site
sampling to generate a pool of
respondents who will be sent a mail
survey that asks questions related to
beach attributes, local beach familiarity,
number of beach trips taken, and ratings
of marine debris encountered while on
these trips. Onsite sampling will involve
intercepting people at several beaches in
each study area and asking them to
participate in a mail survey. For those
willing to take the mail survey, a brief
onsite interview will ask the
respondent’s name and mailing address,
as well as several demographic
questions such as age and education.
Those who do not agree to participate in
the mail survey will only be asked the
demographic questions, whether they
participated in a single or multi-day

trip, and zip code. A mail-survey mode
will be used for the follow-up
questionnaire. The mail survey
instrument will combine a selection of
questions from a previously OMBapproved survey instrument used in
Orange County, California with new
contingent behavior questions
developed specifically for this study to
determine the impact of the presence of
marine debris on respondents’
recreation choices. This data collection
will determine the impact of marine
debris on survey respondents’ recreation
choices at these seven coastal
communities and represents the first
component to be undertaken as part of
the larger study.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Executive Order 12862 (https://
www.archives.gov/federal-register/
executive-orders/pdf/12862.pdf) directs
Federal agencies to provide services to
the public that matches or exceeds the
best services available in the private
sector. In order to work continuously to
ensure that its programs are effective
and meet its customers’ needs, the
United States Patent and Trademark
Office (hereafter ‘‘USPTO’’ or ‘‘the
Agency’’) proposes the following
generic clearance to collect qualitative
feedback on its service delivery.
Qualitative feedback refers to
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but is not in the form of statistical
surveys which yield quantitative results
that can be generalized to the
population of study.
Collecting feedback will allow for the
Agency to have a pulse on customer
satisfaction and adjust where necessary
to meet and exceed expectations. This
feedback collection will provide for
ongoing, collaborative, and actionable
communication between the Agency
and its customers and stakeholders. It
also will enable the Agency to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient and timely manner, in
accordance with the USPTO’s
commitment to improving services. The
information collected from Agency
customers and stakeholders will help
ensure users have an opportunity to
convey their experience with USPTO
programs. This collection will also
provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences,
and expectations, which will allow the
Agency to focus attention on areas
where communication, training, or
changes in operations may be necessary.
Improving Agency programs requires
ongoing assessment. The Agency will
collect, analyze, and interpret
information gathered to identify
strengths and weaknesses of current
services. Based on feedback received,
the Agency will identify operational
changes needed to improve programs
and services. The solicitation of
feedback will target areas such as:
Timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy
of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. The
Agency is committed to hearing
feedback from its customers. Responses
will be assessed to identify service areas
in need of improvement. If this
information is not collected, then the
Agency will miss opportunities to
obtain vital feedback from its customers
and stakeholders on ways to improve
their program and services.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collection is voluntary;
• The collection is low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collection is noncontroversial
and does not raise issues of concern to
other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will only be
used internally for general program and
service improvement as well as program
administrative purposes, and is not
intended for release outside the Agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
are not designed or expected to yield
statistically reliable results nor used as
though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
As a general matter, these information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature.
II. Method of Collection
The USPTO uses surveys, focus
groups, interviews, questionnaires, and
usability testing to collect feedback from
its customers. These may be conducted
via telephone, through electronic
means, or in person. The USPTO
expects customers will respond to the
questionnaires and surveys primarily
through electronic means, and to the
focus groups, interviews, and usability
testing primarily in person.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0651–0080.
IC Instruments and Forms: The
individual instruments in this
collection, as well as their associated
forms, are listed in the table below.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households; businesses or other forprofits; and not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
143,000 responses per year.
Estimated Time per Response:
Between 3 minutes (0.05 hours) and 120

Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Burden Hours: 18,475 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
(Hourly) Cost Burden: $4,387,986.75.
The USPTO expects that attorneys,
paralegals and pro se applicants will
complete these applications. The
professional hourly rate for attorneys is
$438, and the hourly rates for paralegals
and pro se applicants are $145 and $30,
respectively. The average of the
combined respondent rate is $204.33.
Using this blended hourly rate, the
USPTO estimates that the total
respondent cost burden for this
collection is $4,387,986.75 per year.
