DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce has submitted to the Office of 
Management and 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: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions of Management 
Strategies and Regulations in the Florida Keys National Marine 
Sanctuary.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0534.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 5,952.
    Number of Respondents: 3,736.
    Average Hours Per Response: Full survey, 2 hours; non-respondent 
postcard survey, 2 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: This is a ten-year replication of the Knowledge, 
Attitudes, and Perceptions of the management strategies and regulations 
of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) for three user 
groups: Commercial fishermen, dive shop owners/operators and members of 
local environmental groups. The original study was done in 1995-96 and 
was adopted as providing baselines for the Socioeconomic Research and 
Monitoring Program for the FKNMS. Much has happened since 1995-96 so 
the study will also provide new baselines for new management strategies 
and regulations. The most important management strategies and 
regulations assessed in both the baseline and replication are those 
related to the special zones created in the FKNMS, especially the no-
take areas. The information is important to support the ``adaptive 
management'' process in the FKNMS and to support education and outreach 
efforts. This application revises methods to increase response rates 
and proposes a study of nonresponse bias for the survey of members of 
local environmental groups.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained

    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, fax number (202) 395-7285, or
