instrument. A second wave of data 

collection using the Wave 2 ‘‘Compound 

Risks—SME Recovery from a Pandemic 

in the Face of Natural Hazard Risks’’ 

electronic survey instrument took place 

in December 2020–January 2021. 

The Wave 3 semi-structured survey is 

planned for Spring 2021. This Smalland Medium-Sized Business Complex 

Event COVID–19 Survey (Wave 3) is 

critical to the overall data collection 

effort. As we strive to understand 

recovery trajectories of SMEs, 

understanding the mid-term recovery 

during a Wave 3 provides a detailed 

picture of how businesses cope with 

and adapt to disaster circumstances and 

which decisions may provide the 

greatest level of resilience across time 

periods. This collection is expected to 

provide insight as to how SME owners 

and managers make decisions in the 

face of disaster, especially when there is 

deep uncertainty surrounding their 

timing and impact, as well as limited 

resources available to the owner/ 

manager. 

There is minimal primary data on 

business interruption following a largescale natural hazard event, especially in 

the period of mid-term recovery. 

Furthermore, to the best of our 

knowledge, there is no primary data on 

planning for natural hazard resilience 

during a pandemic, which is highly 

relevant at a time when much of the US 

faces potential natural disasters as SMEs 

recover from COVID–19. Furthermore, 

the opportunity to obtain this type of 

longitudinal data related to SMEs’ 

complex event experiences is truly 

unique. There is critical value to this 

data, as we seek to better understand 

how SME managers and owners make 

decisions when facing complex events— 

both considering them as potential 

future events and addressing them when 

they occur. 

II. Method of Collection 

This collection will take place 

entirely remotely, using online 

technology. During the COVID–19 

transmission period this is a safe way to 

collect data. This mode of collection is 

also cost-effective and allows the 

researchers to reach a larger audience 

and a greater geographic spread. 

A subset of respondents will take the 

structured survey element of the semistructured surveys, which will be 

conducted via an online survey 

platform. 

Furthermore, renumeration will be 

offered to respondents. Renumeration is 

justified due to (1) complex study 

design and (2) burden on the 

respondent. (1) The complex study 

design of this collection requires 

ongoing participation of various 

respondents, each of whom is important 

to the achievement of study goals. 

Should attrition occur at a higher rate 

than expected the study goals will not 

be met. (2) There is burden on the 

respondent to take time out of their 

workday managing/operating an SME. 

There will be equity in the use of 

renumeration; all respondents will be 

treated equally with regard to 

incentives:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for revision and 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 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, California, Florida and 

the Caribbean. The survey was 

previously implemented in Hawaii in 

2019 and this revision proposes to make 

the survey national in scope. 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. 

II. Method of Collection 

The survey will be conducted using 

two modes: Mail and internet. 

III. Data
