SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration’s Coastal

Services Center (CSC) was established

in 1994 for the purpose of bridging the

gap between the scientists and managers

in the coastal zone management

community. There are two main

components of the CSC: Coastal

Management Services (CMS) and

Coastal Information Services (CIS). The

goals of the CIS division are to be an

integrator and provider of marine

ecosystem and coastal watershed data to

coastal resource managers. A survey is

being used to learn how we can best

meet the needs of the coastal

information management community.

The objectives of the survey are: to get

feedback from the coastal information

management community on the

relevance, importance, and need of

specific Center proposed products; to

give coastal information managers the

opportunity to describe other needs

and/or programs that they would like

the Center to foster; and to obtain

information on the hardware and

software platforms and capabilities of

the coastal information management

community. The survey results will

provide the Coastal Information

Services division of the Coastal Services

Center with specific information about

the needs of the coastal information

management community.

II. Method of Collection

A combination of mail surveys and

electronic surveys on the Internet will

be used.

III. Data

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Regular submission.

Affected Public: Coastal Information

Managers from the following programs

Estimated Time Per Response: 20

minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 198.

IV. Request for Comments

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including
