SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ONMS 

serves as the trustee for a network of 

underwater parks encompassing more 

than 620,000 square miles of marine and 

Great Lakes waters from Washington 

State to the Florida Keys, and from Lake 

Huron to American Samoa. The network 

includes a system of 15 national marine 

sanctuaries and Papaha ̄naumokua ̄kea 

and Rose Atoll marine national 

monuments. National marine 

sanctuaries protect our Nation’s most 

vital coastal and marine natural and 

cultural resources, and through active 

research, management, and public 

engagement, sustain healthy 

environments that are the foundation for 

thriving communities and stable 

economies. 

One of the many ways ONMS ensures 

public participation in the designation 

and management of national marine 

sanctuaries is through the formation of 

advisory councils. The Sanctuary 

System Business Advisory Council has 

been formed to provide advice and 

recommendations to the Director 

regarding the relationship of ONMS 

with the business community. 

Additional information on the council 

can be found at https://

sanctuaries.noaa.gov/management 

/bac/. 

Matters to be discussed: 

The meeting will include a discussion 

and vote on a proposed amendment to 

the current council charter. For a 

complete agenda, including times and

Request; Weather and Society Survey 

and Using Quick Response Surveys To 

Build a Public Perception and 

Response Database 

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 9/22/2021 

during a 60-day comment period. This 

notice allows for an additional 30 days 

for public comments. 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, 

Commerce. 

Title: Weather and Society Survey and 

Using Quick Response Surveys to Build 

a Public Perception and Response 

Database. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (New 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 37,650. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Longitudinal surveys: .20 minutes; QRS: 

10 minutes. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 7,140. 

Needs and Uses: In alignment with 

the Weather Forecasting and Innovation 

Act of 2017 (Pub. L. 115–25), two data 

collections are proposed under this 

request. There are no other collections 

for which these can be merged. 

The first proposed information 

collection request is sponsored by DOC/ 

NOAA/National Weather Service 

(NWS)/Office of Science and 

Technology Integration (OSTI). 

Currently, NOAA lacks data and data 

collection instruments that articulate 

and explicate how individuals receive, 

interpret, and respond to NOAA 

information, forecasts, and warnings for 

severe, winter, and tropical weather 

hazards. Furthermore, NOAA lacks this 

type of data longitudinally (i.e., 

collected over time). Without this type 

of longitudinal data, NOAA, and the 

NWS specifically, cannot determine if it 

has met its mission of saving lives and 

property, propose societal impact 

performance metrics, nor demonstrate if 

progress or improvements have been 

made, as outlined in the Weather 

Research and Forecasting Innovation 

Act of 2017. This effort aims to advance 

the Tornado Warning Improvement and 

Extension Program (TWIEP)’s goal to 

‘‘reduce the loss of life and economic 

losses from tornadoes through the 

development and extension of accurate, 

effective, and timely tornado forecasts, 

predictions, and warnings, including 

the prediction of tornadoes beyond one 

hour in advance (Pub. L. 115–25)’’. This 

work addresses NOAA’s 5-year Research 

and Development Vision Areas (2020– 

2026) Section 1.4 (FACETs). The 

Weather and Society Survey also 

advances the findings of the National 

Academy of Science 2012 report, 

‘‘Assessment of the NWS Modernization 

Program’’, in reference to NWS’ ‘‘chain 

of events associated with a tornado 

warning’’ (p52). This effort also 

advances the NWS Strategic Plan (2019– 

2022) ‘‘Transformative Impact-Based 

Decision Support Services (IDSS) and 

Research to Operations and Operations 

to Research (R2O/O2R). Furthermore,

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2022 / Notices 15921 

the Survey furthers the NWS Weather 

Ready Nation (WRN) Roadmap (2013) 

Sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.8, and 

3.1.4. 

This information would be collected 

at the Cooperative Institute for 

Mesoscale Meteorological Studies 

(CIMMS) and the University of 

Oklahoma’s Center for Risk and Crisis 

Management (CRCM), who has 

developed data collection instruments 

that would allow for more routine and 

longitudinal data collection, as the data 

will be collected on an annual basis. 

Furthermore, this team has developed 

interactive ‘‘dashboards’’, or tools, to 

visualize the aggregated data. 

Respondents include adults (age 18+) 

who reside in the United States, 

recruited by survey companies that 

maintain large panels of people who 

sign up to complete internet surveys, 

such as Qualtrics and Survey Sampling 

International. Respondents will be 

asked questions about the ways they 

have received, interpreted, and 

responded to NWS information, 

forecasts, and warnings for severe, 

tropical, and winter weather hazards. 

Questions about preparedness for 

specific hazards such as heat waves, 

tornadoes, and drought may also be 

included. This data collection serves 

many purposes, including gaining a 

better understanding of how key factors 

within a given population, or 

organization, vary over time, location, 

and across different groups; the ability 

to detect gradual trends or abrupt 

changes in those factors over time or in 

response to particular events; and the 

potential to explore possible 

correlations and causal relationships 

with other observed variables of 

interest. These data will be used by the 

OSTI in NWS to develop a baseline and 

performance metrics to improve the 

information and services it provides and 

to help members of the weather 

enterprise answer basic questions about 

the people in the communities they 

serve, which is a necessary step towards 

customizing and improving risk 

communication, education, and 

decision support to meet the 

characteristics of the community, 

including those in vulnerable 

populations. The information collected 

will help identify differences and best 

practices between communities and 

assist NWS in developing new 

education and risk communication 

strategies. The survey data and its 

associated dashboard will serve as 

interactive tools to allow NWS 

forecasters, partners, and policymakers 

to access and explore data for training 

and performance evaluation purposes. 

The second proposed collection is 

sponsored through NOAA’s FY2021 

Weather Program Office’s Social Science 

Program, and addresses the Social, 

Behavioral, and Economic Sciences 

(SBES) component of meeting NOAA’s 

Research and Development (R&D) 

Vision Areas (2020–2026) to integrate 

SBES into products, tools, and services 

that improve weather and air quality 

forecasting and societal outcomes. 

This proposal aims to create an online 

survey system for collecting data on the 

publics’ perception and response to four 

different hazards: Tornados, 

thunderstorm winds over 70 miles per 

hour (mph), flash floods, and winter 

weather. The online surveys will be the 

building blocks for a multi-year, crosssectional database on human perception 

and response. The survey system will 

enable individual National Weather 

Service Weather Forecast Offices 

(WFOs) to disseminate Quick Response 

Surveys (QRS) soon after a hazardous 

event occurs to collect perishable data 

on the publics’ perceptions and 

response. Select WFOs will distribute 

the QRSs using web links on NWS 

social media and core partners’ social 

media or email lists. Surveys will ask 

the public questions on timing, location, 

weather information sources, 

motivations and influences for taking 

protective action to gain insights into 

how NWS warning communications 

interact with these factors to result in 

protective action behaviors. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Once. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. Ch. 111,
