    Number of Respondents: 209.
    Average Hours per Response: Program manager information collection,

    Needs and Uses: The Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended 
(CZMA; 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.) requires that state coastal management 
programs and national estuarine research reserves developed pursuant to 
the CZMA and approved by the Secretary of Commerce be evaluated 
periodically. This request is for collection of information to 
accomplish those evaluations.
    NOAA's Office for Coastal Management (OCM) conducts periodic 
evaluations of the 34 coastal management programs and 29 research 
reserves and produces written findings for each evaluation. OCM has 
access to documents submitted in cooperative agreement applications, 
performance reports, and certain documentation required by the CZMA and 
implementing regulations. However, additional information from each 
coastal management program and research reserve, as well as information 
from the program and reserve partners and stakeholders with whom each 
works, is necessary to evaluate against statutory and regulatory 
requirements. Different information collection subsets are necessary 
for (1) coastal management programs (2) their partners and 
stakeholders, (3) research reserves, and (4) their partners and 
stakeholders.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions; state, local, or tribal government; federal 
government.
    Frequency: Every 5 or 6 years.
    Respondent's Obligation: Program managers, Required to obtain or 
retain benefits; Program partners and stakeholders, Voluntary.
