DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Comprehensive Regional 

Decision Support Framework to 

Prioritize Sites for Coral Reef 

Conservation in the U.S. Virgin Islands: 

Survey of Professional SCUBA Divers. 

OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(request for a new information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 238. 

Average Hours per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 119. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for a 

new data collection to benefit marine 

resource managers in the U.S. Virgin 

Islands (USVI). The National Ocean 

Service (NOS) proposes to collect data 

on the resource usage patterns, 

knowledge and values of the 

professional SCUBA diving community 

relative to coral reefs in the USVI. Data 

are needed to support conservation and 

management goals as defined under the 

Coral Reef Conservation Act (CRCA) (16 

U.S.C. 6401 et seq.). The purpose of the 

CRCA is to advance conservation of 

coral reef ecosystems in the U.S. and 

Territories. Specifically, the Act 

requires the federal government to 

produce sound scientific information on 

the condition of coral reef ecosystems 

and threats to them, so that reefs may be 

better preserved, sustained and restored. 

The present data collection is one 

component of a larger project to produce 

a science-based decision support tool 

that will be used by resource managers 

to prioritize coral reefs in the USVI for 

the purposes of management under the 

CRCA. 

Researchers propose to collect 

information from the professional 

SCUBA diving community in the USVI, 

who are an important stakeholder group 

with much knowledge about this marine 

ecosystem. Information will be gathered 

from this community because of their 

experience diving on focal coral reefs 

and reliance on such ecosystems for 

their livelihood. The survey will 

ascertain which coral reef areas are 

needed/used most by persons in the 

professional SCUBA diving community. 

It will gather divers’ opinions on the 

status and health of these coral reefs. 

Finally, the survey will collect 

information on the demographic 

characteristics of professional SCUBA 

diving community, along with the 

values they have for local coral reefs. 

Data gathered will be used to identify, 

rank and describe key characteristics of 

the coral reefs that are most important 

to the professional SCUBA diving 

community in the USVI, as well as their 

perception of reef status and resilience. 

The survey data will become one of 

several layers of information combined 

in a larger effort to objectively map the 

important reefs in the USVI. Knowledge 

of the locations of priority reefs, 

together with an assessment of the 

threats to those reefs, will provide 

information to prioritize management 

actions.
