SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The purpose of this data collection

would be to provide information on the

value of coral reef habitats to specific

segments of the U.S. population. The

study will measure nonmarket

economic values for coral reefs. This

effort is designed to provide defensible

information for both resource managers

and damage assessments on the value of

coral reef habitats and alternative

management actions. The project is

designed as a phased three-year effort to

ensure effective use of all the available

information. This effort will involve

development of extensive knowledge

about how reef habitats are perceived,

implication of alternative management

actions, designing original survey

instruments, interviewing of a large

number of respondents, conducting

formal statistical analysis of the data,

and developing a decision-support

system for resource managers to use.

For active users of coral reefs,

separate surveys of residents and

visitors will be conducted to estimate

the amount of use (measured in persondays) of the coral reefs, spending in the

local economies while undertaking the

activities on the reefs, and information

that will support estimation of

nonmarket economic use values using

travel cost demand models, and discrete

choice contingent valuation methods.

For nonuse or passive use, a nationallyoriented survey will be conducted using

stated preferences methods.

II. Method of Collection

Interviews will be conducted. The

survey instruments will be formulated

with the use of focus groups and a pretest of the instrument will be conducted.

III. Data

OMB Number: None.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Regular submission.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

2,538.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours

for a focus group member, 30 minutes

for a pretest, and 30 minutes for the

final survey.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 1,400.

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.
