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: NOAA Teacher at Sea Application.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0283.
    Form Number(s): NOAA Form 57-10-01.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (revision and extension of a 
currently approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 375.
    Average Hours per Response: Application: 1 hr. 15 min; 
Recommendations: 15 minutes; NOAA Health Services Questionnaire and 
Tuberculosis Screening Document: 45 minutes; Follow-up Report: 2 hours.
    Burden Hours: 781.
    Needs and Uses: Consistent with the support for research and 
education under the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 32 Sec.  
1440) and other coastal and marine protection legislation, NOAA 
provides educators an opportunity to gain first-hand experience with 
field research activities through the Teacher at Sea Program. Through 
this program, educators spend up to 3 weeks at sea on a NOAA research 
vessel, participating in an ongoing research project with NOAA 
scientists.
    The application solicits information from interested educators, and 
participants in the program are selected following review of their 
application. The application includes two recommendation forms: One 
from the applicant's Administrator and one from a colleague. The NOAA 
Health Services Questionnaire (NHSQ) and Tuberculosis Screening 
Document (TSD) is a requirement of anyone going to sea and must be 
completed by teachers who are selected for the program. Once an 
educator is selected and participates on a cruise, s/he writes a report 
detailing the events of the cruise and his/her ideas for classroom 
activities based on what was learned while at sea. These materials are 
then made available to other educators so they may benefit from the 
experience, without actually going to sea. NOAA does not collect

information from this universe of respondents for any other purpose.
    The revisions to this collection included updating the 
miscellaneous costs and correcting the time to complete the NOAA Health 
Services Questionnaire and Tuberculosis Screening Document to more 
accurately reflect the correct burden.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    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.
