22872 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2022 / Notices 

Type of Request: Regular submission, 

extension of a current information 

collection. 

Number of Respondents: 2,583. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Awardee-respondents will complete an 

online survey in 60 minutes and 

teacher-respondents will complete two 

online surveys in 30 minutes each. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,027. 

Needs and Uses: The National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s (NOAA) Office of 

Education is sponsoring data collection 

efforts on its Bay Watershed Education 

and Training (B–WET) program. The 

NOAA B–WET program is authorized 

under 33 U.S.C. 893a(a), the America 

COMPETES Act. The Administrator of 

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration is authorized to 

conduct, develop, support, promote, 

and coordinate formal and informal 

educational activities at all levels to 

enhance public awareness and 

understanding of ocean, coastal, Great 

Lakes, and atmospheric science and 

stewardship by the general public and 

other coastal stakeholders, including 

underrepresented groups in ocean and 

atmospheric science and policy careers. 

B–WET advances NOAA’s mission by 

awarding education grants that foster an 

environmentally literate citizenry who 

have the knowledge, attitudes, and 

skills needed to protect watersheds and 

related ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes 

ecosystems. B–WET currently funds 

projects in seven regions (California, 

Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, Gulf of 

Mexico, Hawaii, New England, and the 

Pacific Northwest). 

To ensure that educational activities 

funded by B–WET are of the highest 

quality, and maximize federal resources, 

B–WET has created an across-region, 

internal evaluation system to provide 

ongoing monitoring of program 

implementation and to identify 

opportunities for improved program 

outcomes. The evaluation system is 

maintained by B–WET staff with 

occasional assistance from an outside 

contractor. The evaluation system 

collects information from B–WET 

program-funded project participants. 

B–WET awardees of grants or 

cooperative agreements, and the 

awardees’ teachers who attend 

professional development programs 

provided by the awardees, are asked to 

voluntarily complete online survey 

forms to provide data for the evaluation 

system. Information collected from 

awardees includes program elements 

such as program duration, format, 

audience, location, support and/or 

materials offered, and topics covered. 

Information collected from teacher 

professional development participants 

includes teaching methodologies, 

program satisfaction, program coverage, 

suggestions for improvement, and 

teaching confidence. Information 

collected from teachers at the end of the 

school year following their participation 

in a professional development program 

includes time spent teaching topics 

covered in the professional 

development program, types of 

activities used with their students, 

teachers’ perceptions of student 

learning, and teaching practices 

utilized. One individual from each 

awardee organization is asked to 

complete a survey once per year of the 

award, and the teacher participants are 

asked to complete one survey at the end 

of their professional development 

program and another survey at the end 

of the following school year. Responses 

to the survey questions are aggregated 

and analyzed as part of ongoing 

evaluation efforts. 

Based on a review of annual 

evaluation system results, B–WET has 

made program improvements by 

adjusting its Federal Notice of Funding 

Opportunities and program guidelines. 

On-going data collection enables NOAA 

to monitor program implementation and 

outcomes on a regular basis and 

supports adaptive management of the 

program. 

Affected Public: Business and other 

for-profit organizations; not-for-profit 

institutions; state, local or tribal 

government; individuals or households. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
