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: Evaluation of Public Visitors' Experience of Exhibits at 
Mokupapapa Discovery Center.
    OMB Control Number: None.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 31.
    Number of Respondents: 250.
    Average Hours per Response: 7 to 8 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP) 
education team has embarked on an ambitious evaluation project that 
will allow the NMSP to assess education program outcomes and impacts 
across all sites and activities and to link outcome measures to program 
efforts. The purpose of this effort is to evaluate if the current 
exhibits at the Mokupapapa Discovery Center (Hilo, HI) are meeting the 
goals and objectives of the educational mandates of the National Marine 
Sanctuaries Act, particularly in relation to the relatively recent 
establishment of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument in the 
Northwest Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). Randomly selected visitors to the 
Mokupapapa Discovery Center will be interviewed when leaving to explore 
their understanding of the location and geography of the islands, as 
well as their perception of interpretive messages, including the 
significance and sensitivity of the NWHI ecology. Application of 
findings from this evaluation will assist in adjusting program content, 
format, range of activities, and target audiences to improve overall 
effectiveness of educational efforts and expenditures.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: One-time only.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
