Title: Socioeconomics of Coral Reef
Conservation, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands 2024 Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0646.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision to
an existing information collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,600.
Average Hours per Response: 20
minutes (0.33 hours).
Total Annual Burden Hours: 533
hours.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
revision to a currently approved hybridgeneric information collection under
OMB Control Number 0648–0646. This
request adds materials for jurisdictional
implementation in the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
The information collection is part of
the National Coral Reef Monitoring
Program (NCRMP), which was
established by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Coral Reef Conservation Program
(CRCP) under the authority of the Coral
Reef Conservation Act of 2000. The
CRCP was created to safeguard and
ensure the welfare of the coral reef
ecosystems along the coastlines of
America’s states and territories. In
accordance with its mission goals,
NOAA developed a survey to track
relevant information regarding each
jurisdiction’s population, social and
economic structure, the benefits of coral
reefs and related habitats, the impacts of
society on coral reefs, and the impacts
of coral management on communities.
The survey is repeated in each
jurisdiction every five to seven years in
order to provide longitudinal data and
information for managers to effectively
conserve coral reefs for current and
future generations.
The purpose of this information
collection is to obtain human
dimensions information from residents
in the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands. Specifically, NOAA is
seeking information on the behaviors
and activities related to coral reefs, as
well as information on perceptions of
coral reef conditions and attitudes
toward specific reef conservation
activities. The survey has a core set of
questions that are the same for all
jurisdictions to allow for information to
be tracked over time. To account for
geographical, cultural and linguistic
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
12921
differences between jurisdictions, the
survey questions include items that are
specific to the local context and
developed based on jurisdictional
partner feedback.
We intend to use the information
collected through this survey
instrument for research purposes, as
well as for measuring and improving the
results of our reef protection programs.
Because many of our efforts to protect
reefs rely on education and changing
attitudes toward reef protection, the
information collected will allow CRCP
to ensure that programs are designed
appropriately at the start, future
program evaluation efforts are as
successful as possible, and outreach
efforts are targeting the intended
recipients with useful information.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Every 5–7 years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Coral Reef
Conservation Act of 2000.

NOAA provides educators an
opportunity to gain first-hand
experience with field research activities
through the Teacher at Sea Program.
Through this program, educators spend
up to 3 weeks at sea on a NOAA
research vessel, participating in an
ongoing research project with NOAA
scientists. The application solicits
information from interested educators
including: 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 by themselves. This
collection supports NOAA’s mission by
providing educators an opportunity to
gain first-hand experience with field
research activities through the Teacher
at Sea Program.
