Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; 

Willingness To Pay Survey To Evaluate 

Recreational Benefits of Nutrient 

Reductions in Coastal New England 

Waters 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Willingness to Pay Survey to Evaluate 

Recreational Benefits of Nutrient 

Reductions in Coastal New England 

Waters’’ (EPA ICR No. 2558.01, OMB 

Control No. 2080–NEW) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before doing so, 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

specific aspects of the proposed 

information collection as described 

below. This is a request for approval of 

a new collection. An Agency may not 

conduct or sponsor and a person is not 

required to respond to a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before January 9, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

ORD–2016–0632, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to Docket_ORD@

epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC 20460. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes profanity, threats, 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: Researchers at the EPA’s 

Office of Research and Development 

(ORD), Atlantic Ecology Division (AED) 

are piloting an effort to better 

understand how reduced water quality 

due to nutrient enrichment affects the 

economic prosperity, social capacity, 

and ecological integrity of coastal New 

England communities. This project 

proposes a survey to collect data for a 

case study of changes in recreation 

demand and values due to changes in 

nutrients in northeastern coastal waters. 

This includes the development of 

methods and tools for estimating 

recreational values that can be applied 

in other locations, either by EPA 

researchers, EPA’s regional offices or 

state partners. Our initial geographic 

focus for these efforts will be Cape Cod, 

Massachusetts (‘‘the Cape’’; Barnstable 

County), and New England residents 

within 100 miles of the Cape. We focus 

on Cape Cod and its surrounding coastal 

areas both in order to limit the scope of 

the work to remain feasible within our 

research budget and to coordinate this 

socio-economic analysis with extensive 

ecological research being conducted on 

the Cape by ORD researchers, 

researchers at EPA’s Region 1 office, and 

other external research groups. Cape 

Cod is also in the midst of an extensive 

regional planning effort related to its 

coastal waters, and this research can 

provide helpful socio-economic 

information to decision makers about 

the use of those waters. Because the 

100-mile radius from Cape Cod includes 

a large area of southern New England 

and the largest population centers in 

New England, the results will be more 

broadly applicable to residents of 

southern New England. 

One of the key water quality concerns 

on Cape Cod, and throughout New 

England, is nonpoint sources of 

nitrogen, which lead to ecological 

impairments in estuaries, with resultant 

socio-economic impacts. The decisions 

needed to meet water quality standards 

are highly complex and involve 

significant cross-disciplinary challenges 

in identifying, implementing, and 

monitoring social and ecological 

management needs. We will focus on 

understanding recreational uses as 

valued economic goods in coastal New 

England (including beachgoing, 

swimming, fishing, shellfishing, and 

boating).
