SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for a reinstatement, with changes, of a previous 
information collection.
    NOAA, through its National Ocean Service, Office of National Marine 
Sanctuaries, is replicating a study done in 2010-2011 on users and non-
users of Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary (GRNMS) off the coast of 
Georgia. The study will support analysis of its current regulations to 
support management plan revision, which could include changes in 
regulations. The study will collect information to assess recreational 
uses of GRNMS and surrounding areas off the coast of Georgia, 
demographic profiles, and attitudes on GRNMS current regulations, 
especially the research only area, which displaced recreational 
fishing. In addition, user perceptions of the conditions of GRNMS 
natural resources/environment will be obtained.

II. Method of Collection

    A mail survey will be used as was done in 2010-2011 using self-
addressed, postage paid mailback questionnaires.

    OMB Control Number: 0648-XXXX.
