DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    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: External Needs Assessment for NOAA Education Products and 
Programs.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-XXXX.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (Request for new collection).
    Number of Respondents: Approximately 1,000 respondents per year.
    Average Hours per Response: Approximately 5 minutes per response.
    Burden Hours: Approximately 83 total burden hours per year.
    Needs and Uses: In the Fall of 2019 the NOAA Office of Education is 
planning to sponsor a voluntary multi-question survey to assess the 
needs of formal and informal educators pertaining to future NOAA 
multimedia products and programs. In developing multimedia materials 
that convey NOAA's science, service and stewardship, the agency must 
ensure that these resources are of the highest quality and meet the 
needs of formal and informal educators across the United States. To 
achieve this goal, it will be necessary to conduct surveys identifying 
the types of multimedia educational programs and products of the 
highest interest and greatest need by formal and informal educators. By 
surveying external educators to gather this information, budget 
expenditures will be used optimally to develop appropriate products and 
programs most desired by educators to support and enhance ocean and 
Earth sciences, in addition to related STEM subject literacy throughout 
our nation.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; Businesses or Other 
For-Profit; and Not-For-Profit Institutions.
    Frequency: Twice per year.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
