SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This study will determine how the 

next generation of scientists, frequently 

referred to as the Millennial Generation, 

will seek scientific information in their 

research. This generation was born 

between 1982 and 2000. Having grown 

up with information technology, general 

studies show this population has 

technological preferences for receiving 

and integrating content, and this study 

is to learn if this extends to the 

scientific content among young 

scientists. It will identify most useful 

(and most desired) devices and formats, 

so that the Information Services 

Division can plan to serve the next 

generation of scientists. The findings 

will impact how digital scientific 

content is harvested, identified using 

metadata, stored, accessed, and 

disseminated. The project will identify 

young scientists’ preferences for content 

format and ease of assimilation into 

current processes. Specifically the 

project aims to learn: (1) Which library 

resources and information services are 

most valuable and why, and (2) what 

scientific library resources do not exist 

that could, or are not yet robust enough 

to be valuable. Further the study aims 

to learn: (3) In what specific ways are 

commercial Internet tools both 

successful and unsuccessful in helping 

find answers, (4) which platforms and 

devices are most helpful and why, and 

(5) which technologies help support 

collaboration with peers. The project 

plans to use Summer Undergraduate 

Research Fellowship (SURF) students 

who work at the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology every 

summer as the test population. The 

survey is voluntary, and all information 

gathered will be carefully safeguarded. 

II. Method of Collection 

The study will use an electronic 

survey form. SURF students will have 

the URL sent to them in an e-mail 

message so they may take the survey on 

any computer with a Web browser if 

they choose.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) proposes to collect information 

pertaining to the economic utilization of 

marine resources by communities on the 

West Coast, in order to improve fishery 

management; satisfy NMFS’ legal 

mandates under Executive Order 12866, 

Title 8 of the Magnuson Steven Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as amended in 

2007; and quantify achievement of the 

performance measures in the NMFS 

Strategic Operating Plans. The data 

collected will enable researchers to 

determine the degree of dependence of 

these communities on marine resource 

based activities and will inform policy 

makers as to the likely economic 

impacts of fishery and marine 

regulations on these communities. 

Economic data for selected U.S. 

coastal communities will be collected 

for each of the following groups of 

operations: (1) Locally operated 

businesses; (2) resident households; and 

(3) visitors. In general, local businesses 

will be asked questions concerning their 

sources of revenue, location and levels 

of expenditures, ownership, 

dependence on the fisheries and other 

marine resources, and fishery 

employment. Households will be asked 

questions concerning their sources of 

income, the location of expenditures 

made, and their dependence on fishing 

and other marine resources. Visitors 

will be asked questions concerning 

region of residence, expenditures made 

while visiting, and reasons for visiting. 

The data collection efforts will be 

coordinated to reduce the additional 

burden for those who own multiple 

businesses. Participation in these data 

collections will be voluntary. 

The data will be used to construct a 

regional economic simulation model to 

analyze fishery management alternatives 

and to investigate the degree of 

economic dependence on marine 

resources in the respective 

communities. 

II. Method of Collection 

Data will be collected via in-person 

interviews, telephone interviews and/or 

mail questionnaire. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: None. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; business or other for-profit 

organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,400. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour 

per survey of businesses; 30 minutes per 

survey of households; and 15 minutes 

per survey of individual visitors. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 998. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

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
