Request; Economic Impacts of Reef Diving and Snorkeling

    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and 
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the 
Federal Register on January 19, 2021 (86 FR 5142) during a 60-day 
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public 
comments.
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Economic Impacts of Reef Diving and Snorkeling.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0765.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved collection).
    Number of Respondents: 3,500.
    Average Hours per Response: 25 minutes.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,470.
    Needs and Uses: The objective of the survey will be to understand 
divers' and snorkelers' expenditures associated with recreational coral 
reef diving activities in Hawaii, American Samoa, CNMI, Guam, and the 
Caribbean. The survey was previously implemented in Hawaii in 2019 and 
this revision proposes to make the survey national in scope. The title 
of the collection will be changed to Economic Impacts of Reef Diving 
and Snorkeling from Economic Impacts of Hawaii Reef Diving and 
Snorkeling. The survey will also collect information on divers' 
attitudes, preferences, and concerns about recreational diving and 
coral reefs health. This survey will help to improve our understanding 
of divers' and snorkelers' expenditure patterns and to estimate the 
economic impact of coral reef related spending. Results of the survey 
will be used to inform coastal resource management planning and 
establish a baseline for outreach and education. The expenditure survey 
is also expected to provide useful information for local economic and 
business interests.
