SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    NOAA supplies the nation with information, products and services 
that are essential public goods used in public and private sectors, 
science institutions and households around the world. Because NOAA's 
information, products and services are important to both the nation as 
a whole and to the daily lives of U.S. citizens, NOAA's Science 
Advisory Board (SAB) has identified a need for more effective two-way 
communication between its programs and the customers and clients it 
serves. This survey instrument will be used by NOAA's Office of 
Education and the Gulf of Mexico Regional Collaboration Team to obtain 
information used to assess NOAA's accessibility, responsiveness and 
respect for partners. These parameters are three of the seven 
parameters included in the Kellogg Engagement Test, which the SAB 
recommended NOAA use for assessing engagement with constituents. One 
objective of the survey is to collect responses to provide NOAA with 
information and feedback from its constituents that will lead to 
greater emphasis placed on the needs of NOAA partners, techniques to 
improve NOAA's products and services, and general improvement in the 
accessibility and responsiveness of NOAA to constituents. A longer term 
objective is for this survey to become a standard NOAA tool accessing 
engagement with constituents.

II. Method of Collection

    Primarily, respondents will be asked to complete the survey online 
through the web-based survey tool ``Survey Monkey'' (http://www.surveymonkey.com). Alternatively, a print version of the survey 
will be made available upon request, which can be returned by mail or 
facsimile.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information;
    (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.
