SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Office of National Marine
Sanctuaries (ONMS) is requesting
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection. This
information collection is revised to
include the collection instruments
approved under OMB Control Number
0648–0777, after which that control
number will be discontinued. The title
of this collection is being changed to
encompass both collections.

The evaluation of visitor
demographics, experiences, and
opinions about visitor centers and
exhibits is needed to support the
conservation, education, and
management goals of ONMS to
strengthen and improve the
stewardship, sustainable use, and
protection of natural, cultural, and
historical resources. Under the
jurisdiction of ONMS and to satisfy
legal mandates, the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) is authorized to conduct
evaluations, such as this information
collection, under the American
Innovation and Competitiveness Act
(section 314(c)) to ensure education
programs have measurable objectives
and milestones as well as clear,
documented metrics for evaluating its
programs.
For example, the Mokupa¯papa
Discovery Center (Center) is an outreach
arm of Papaha¯naumokua¯kea Marine
National Monument that reaches more
than 75,000 people each year in Hilo,
Hawai‘i. The Center was created almost
two decades ago to help raise support
for the creation of a national marine
sanctuary in the Northwestern Hawaiian
Islands. Since that time, the area has
been proclaimed a marine national
monument and the main messages we
are trying to share with the public have
changed to better reflect the new
monument status, UNESCO World
Heritage status, and the joint
management by the three co-trustees of
the monument.
ONMS recently updated its Strategic
Plan and has identified a lack of
information on the effectiveness of its
education, outreach, and
communications initiatives as they
relate to sanctuary/monument visitor
centers, exhibits (permanent or
traveling/temporary), kiosks, and
educational programming conducted by
its visitor centers and partner facilities.
We therefore are seeking to determine
if people visiting ONMS’ visitor centers
and exhibits are receiving our new
messages by conducting an optional exit
survey. ONMS is requesting to conduct
a survey to evaluate patron acuity to
determine successful concept
attainment. Conducting thorough
evaluations will aid in vital decisions
regarding exhibit renovation, new
exhibits, interpretation programs, and
educational content.
II. Method of Collection
Information collection is voluntary
via completion of an ONMS Visitor
Center and Exhibit Survey provided at
the ONMS and Partner Outreach
Facilities.
