Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 39 / Wednesday, February 28, 2007 / Notices 8963 

Form Number(s): None. 

OMB Approval Number: 0648–xxxx. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Burden Hours: 10,539. 

Number of Respondents: 15,686. 

Average Hours Per Response: Auto, 

air and cruise ship visitors: On-site 

survey, 4 minutes; mail-back surveys, 15 

minutes; other visitor surveys: On-site: 

15 minutes; mail-back surveys, 20 

minutes; resident mail survey, 1 hour; 

and supply-side surveys, 5 minutes. 

Needs and Uses: This is an 

approximate ten-year replication of the 

study ‘‘Linking the Economy and 

Environment of the Florida Keys/ 

Florida Bay’’ which established baseline 

measurements for recreation/tourist 

uses of the Florida Keys National 

Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). The 

baseline measurements were taken in 

1995–96 for the broader recreation/ 

tourist uses, while for reef use the 

baseline measurements were taken in 

2000–2001. Baseline measurements 

were taken on number of users and 

recreation/tourist uses of the Florida 

Keys, along with estimates of economic 

value of resource use, economic impact 

associated with these uses on the local 

and regional economies, importance/ 

satisfaction ratings for 25 natural 

resource attributes, facilities and 

services, and demographic profiles of 

users. This application also includes 

establishment of new baselines for 

knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of 

Sanctuary management strategies and 

regulations for recreation/tourist user 

groups, adds evaluations of management 

alternatives for coral reefs, and adds 

information that will support better 

predictions of how users will respond to 

management/regulations. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: One time only. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

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 of 1995, Pub. 

L. 104–13 (44 U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)). 

Bureau: International Trade 

Administration (ITA). 

Title: Commercial Service Market 

Segmentation Study of Moderate U.S. 

Exporters Focus Groups. 

Agency Form Number: ITA–XXXX. 

OMB Number: None. 

Type of Request: Regular Submission. 

Burden: 108 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 72. 

Average Hours per Response: 1.5 

hours. 

Needs and Uses: Expanding U.S. 

exports is a national priority essential to 

improving U.S. trade performance. The 

Department of Commerce, ITA, U.S. 

Commercial Service (CS) serves as the 

key U.S. government agency responsible 

for promoting exports of goods and 

services from the United States, 

particularly by small and medium-sized 

enterprises, and assisting U.S. exporters 

in their dealings with foreign 

governments. The CS is mandated by 

the Government Performance and 

Results Act of 1993 and the President’s 

Management Agenda Fiscal Year 2002 

to improve program performance and 

achieve better results for the American 

people. In accordance with these 

mandates, the CS needs to address the 

weaknesses and opportunities for 

improvement identified by the Office of 

Management and Budget’s 2003 

Program Assessment Rating Tool 

(PART). To address these weaknesses 

and opportunities and in an effort to 

remain relevant to the marketplace and 

optimize our respective operations, the 

Commercial Service, Manufacturing 

Extension Partnership (MEP), Census 

Bureau (Census), and Export-Import 

Bank (Ex-Im) have embarked on a 

market segmentation research study of 

moderate U.S. exporters. The objectives 

are to gain market knowledge and 

generate statistically valid 

characterizations about the needs and 

buying behavior of exporting 

companies, with a particular focus on 

Moderate exporters, which are defined 

as those U.S. firms that currently export, 

but on a limited or reactive basis and 

whose international sales comprise less 

than 10% of total sales or whose 

international sales growth is less than 

10% per year. Respondents benefit from 

the collection of this information 

because it will be used to improve 

services provided to the public. Without 

this information, the CS/MEP/Census/ 

Ex-Im team is unable to systematically 

determine the needs, attitudes and 

behaviors of U.S. exporters. This effort 

will gather statistically valid market 

intelligence on SME attitudes and 

behaviors vis-a`-vis making international 

sales and working with a government 

consultant. 

Affected Public: U.S. companies that 

are recruited by Pacific Consulting 

Group, the vendor hired by the U.S. 

Commercial Service for this research. 

Frequency: One time. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
