SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for a renewal of a currently approved information 
collection. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 
provides educators an opportunity to gain first-hand experience with 
field research activities through the Teacher at Sea Program. Through 
this program, educators spend up to three weeks at sea on a NOAA 
research vessel, participating in an on-going research project with 
NOAA scientists. Once educators are selected and participate on a 
cruise, they write a report detailing the events of the cruise and 
ideas for classroom activities based on what they learned while at sea. 
These materials are then made available to other educators so they may 
benefit from the experience, without actually going to sea themselves. 
In order to better serve the participants, the Teacher at Sea Program 
will survey the teacher participants on their experience before, 
during, and after they return from sea. The survey will collect data 
only from teacher participants, not from applicants.

II. Method of Collection

    Forms can be completed on line, printed, and mailed. Persons with 
full Adobe Acrobat software can save the on-line form and submit it 
electronically.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-0600.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (extension of a current

    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 375.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour to read and complete survey,

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 750.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.

    Dated: October 12, 2010.

Management Analyst, Office of Chief Information Officer.
