                    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the                     **Federal Register**                     on 25 June 2024 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.                

*Agency:*                     National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.                

*Title:*                     Evaluation of Public Visitors' Experience at the National Marine Sanctuaries Visitor Centers and Exhibits.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0648-0582.                

*Form Number(s):*                     None.                

*Type of Request:*                     Extension of a current information collection.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     9,386.                

*Average Hours per Response:*                     8 minutes.                

*Total Annual Burden Hours:*                     1,251.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) is requesting an extension of a currently approved information collection.                

The evaluation of visitor demographics, experiences, and opinions about visitor centers and exhibits is needed to support the conservation, education, and management goals of ONMS to strengthen and improve the stewardship, sustainable use, and protection of natural, cultural, and historical resources. Under the jurisdiction of ONMS and to satisfy legal mandates, NOAA is authorized to conduct evaluations, such as this information collection, under the American Innovation and Competitiveness Act (section 314(c), 33 U.S.C. 893(a)) to ensure education programs have measurable objectives and milestones as well as clear, documented metrics for evaluating its programs.

ONMS has identified a lack of information on the effectiveness of its education, outreach, and communications initiatives as they relate to sanctuary/marine national monument visitor centers, exhibits (permanent or traveling/temporary), kiosks, and educational programming offered by its visitor centers and partner facilities.

ONMS is therefore seeking to conduct an optional exit survey to determine if ONMS' visitor centers and exhibits effectively convey ONMS education, outreach and communication initiatives. ONMS is requesting to conduct a survey to evaluate patron acuity to determine successful concept attainment. Conducting thorough evaluations will aid in vital decisions regarding exhibit renovation, new exhibits, interpretation programs, and educational content.

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals or households.                

*Frequency:*                     One time every three years.                

*Respondent's Obligation:*                     Voluntary.                

*Legal Authority:*                     American Innovation and Competitiveness Act.                

                    This information collection request may be viewed at                     *www.reginfo.gov.*                     Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.                

                    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the following website                     *www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAMain.*                     Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function and entering either the title of the collection or the OMB Control Number 0648-0582.
