    The Department of Commerce will submit 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: NOAA Teacher At Sea Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0283.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 375.
    Average Hours per Response: Applications, 1 hour; recommendations 
and NOAA Health Services Questionnaire, 15 minutes each; follow-up 
reports, 2 hours.
    Burden Hours: 289.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current 
information collection.
    NOAA provides educators an opportunity to gain first-hand 
experience with field research activities through the NOAA Teacher at 
Sea Program. Educators spend up to four weeks at sea on a NOAA research 
vessel, participating in an on-going research project with NOAA 
scientists. The application solicits information from interested 
educators: 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.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: [email protected].
