would consist of a mixture of local,
State, and out-of-State residents.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 2,095: 40 focus group
participants, 25 cognitive interview
participants, 30 pretest onsite surveys,
1,500 completed onsite surveys, and 500
completed written surveys. The focus
group questions would be semistructured and open-ended. Onsite and
written survey questions would be
primarily discrete choice and closedended with minimal open-ended
questions.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 90 minutes per focus group
participant, 45 minutes per cognitive
interview participant, 1 minute for the
onsite survey, and 12 minutes per
written survey participant. (BOEM
anticipates that the survey would
comprise approximately 30 questions
with each question taking about 20–30
seconds to complete on average.)
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 205 hours: 60 hours for
focus groups, 18.75 hours for cognitive
interviews, 30 minutes for the pretest
onsite surveys, 25 hours for the onsite
survey, and 100 hours for the written
survey.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: One time.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour
Burden Cost: There is no non-hour cost
burden associated with this collection.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period on this
proposed ICR was published on
February 9, 2024 (89 FR 9175). One
comment was received on February 18,
2024. The commentor recommended
prohibiting oil and gas leasing and
commercial tourism. While the
comment is recognized, it does not
change the purpose of or need for the
proposed study, nor does it affect the
cost or hour burden.
BOEM is again soliciting comments
on this proposed ICR. BOEM is
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) is
the collection necessary to the proper
functions of BOEM; (2) what can BOEM
do to ensure this information will be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might BOEM enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might BOEM minimize the burden of
this collection on the respondents,
including minimizing the burden
through the use of information
technology?
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record and will be available for

BOEM will include or summarize each
comment in its ICR to OMB for approval
of this information collection. You
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your address,
phone number, email address, or other
personally identifiable information
included in your comment—may be
made publicly available at any time.
For BOEM to consider withholding
from disclosure your personally
identifiable information, you must
identify, in a cover letter, any
information contained in your comment
that, if released, would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of your
personal privacy. You must also briefly
describe any possible harmful
consequences of the disclosure of
information, such as embarrassment,
injury, or other harm.
Even if BOEM withholds your
personally identifiable information in
the context of this ICR, your comment
is subject to the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA). Your information will only
be withheld if a determination is made
that one of the FOIA exemptions to
disclosure applies. Such a
determination will be made in
accordance with the Department of the
Interior’s (DOI) FOIA implementing
regulations (43 CFR part 2) and
applicable law.
BOEM will make available for public
inspection all comments in their
entirety (except privileged or
confidential information) submitted by
organizations and businesses, or by
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives of organizations or
businesses. BOEM protects privileged
and confidential information in
accordance with FOIA and DOI’s
implementing regulations.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
