SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for a new collection
of information. The objective of the
survey is to collect information from
manufacturers of technology used in
marine related businesses. This data
collection is needed for use by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric

group of businesses that comprise the
marine technology sector of the
economy. NOAA describes the marine
economy of the United States and this
information is used by decision-makers
to make policy decisions. NOAA’s
mission is to understand and predict
changes in climate, weather, oceans,
and coasts, to share that knowledge and
information with others, and to
conserve and manage coastal and
marine ecosystems and resources.
NOAA is authorized to engage in
estimation of the ocean economy under
the Coastal Zone Management Act, 16
U.S.C. 1456c.
The information collected from
manufacturers of technology used in
marine related businesses will include
(1) total revenue, (2) the proportion of
revenue derived from marine related
products and services and (3)
information about sales going to
consumers, businesses, and government.
This information will be used to better
understand marine related production
of products and services by different
manufacturers of technology used in
marine related businesses. This
information will be used to inform
NOAA’s understanding about this group
of businesses that comprise the marine
technology sector as part of NOAA’s
estimation of the ocean economy.
