Aquaculture: To advance understanding of the interactions of 
aquaculture and the environment; to increase the supply of nutritious, 
safe, high-quality domestic seafood; develop and use socioeconomic and 
business research to advance domestic aquaculture. NOS proposes to 
estimate the costs associated with reported Vibrio illnesses, which is 
a demand expressed in a number of industry settings. Washington State 
Department of Health expressed desire for this information in order to 
more accurately plan their budgets.
    Management agency staff, restaurant staff, and oyster farm staff 
will be asked to help develop a model of what kind of expenditures 
accrue during a response to a reported Vibrio illness and estimate the 
value of those expenditures. The results of the project will be used to 
develop a model to estimate the full suite of costs of seafood-borne 
illness and will provide an estimate for agency and business budget 
planners.
    Affected Public: Management agency staff, oyster farm staff, 
restaurant staff.
    Frequency: Once.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
