I. Abstract 

This request is for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

As part of the NOAA mission: ‘‘To 

understand and predict changes in 

Earth’s environment and conserve and 

manage coastal and marine resources to 

meet our Nation’s economic, social, and 

environmental needs’’, the proposed 

survey will be part of a stakeholder 

engagement effort to more clearly define 

what those needs are. The proposed 

survey will be used to engage with and 

assess the science and forecasting needs 

of stakeholders in the water resources 

sector. The water resources sector 

includes agencies and companies 

operating reservoirs, and private and 

public interests in regulating rivers. The 

survey is designed to (1) assess the 

accessibility and utility of water and 

climate information and data, (2) assess 

participants’ perceptions and 

knowledge about water and climate, and 

(3) evaluate user needs and the gaps in 

existing water and climate information. 

Participation in the survey will be 

entirely voluntary and will usually be in 

conjunction with workshops related to 

water resources and/or climate.
