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: Economic Value of Non-consumptive Recreation Use from those
Accessing the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary via For Hire
Operation Boats.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0726.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,050.
Average Hours per Response: 2 hours per for hire operation, 20
minutes per on-site interview of passengers, 20 minutes per importance-
satisfaction/knowledge, attitudes & perceptions mail back, and 20
minutes for the expenditure mail back.
Burden Hours: 733.
Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a currently
approved information collection. The collection was approved three
years ago but had not begun.
The required information will be obtained through surveys of the
for hire operations that take people out for non-consumptive recreation
to obtain total use by type of activity and the spatial use by type of
activity. Information will also be obtained on costs-and-earnings of
the operations, knowledge, attitudes & perceptions of sanctuary
management strategies and regulations, and demographic information on
owner/captains and crews. Surveys will also be conducted of the
passengers aboard the for hire operation boats to obtain their market
and non-market economic use values for non-consumptive recreation use
and how those value change with changes in natural resource attribute
conditions and user characteristics. Additional information will be
obtained on importance-satisfaction ratings of key natural resource
attributes, facilities and services, knowledge, attitudes and
perceptions of management strategies and regulations, and demographic
profiles of passengers. This survey was not started during the 2015-
2018 OMB approval period.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations;
individuals or households.
Frequency: One time.
Respondent's Obligation: One time.
