Abstract:
This request is for revision and extension of this information collection. NOAA is proposing changes to both the youth and general advisory council applications and the changes are outlined in response to Question 1. Section 315 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 U.S.C. § 1445a) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to establish one or more advisory councils to advise and make recommendations to the Secretary regarding the designation and management of national marine sanctuaries. Executive Order 13178 (December 4, 2000) similarly established a Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve Council pursuant to the NMSA to provide advice and recommendations regarding the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. Councils are individually chartered to meet the specific needs of a sanctuary site or of the sanctuary system; 16 councils–15 sanctuary advisory councils and one reserve advisory council—currently exist. Once a council has been chartered, and as vacancies occur for existing councils, the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries starts a process to recruit members for that council by providing notice to the public and asking interested parties to apply for the available seats. An application form has been developed to help ease the application process for the public and facilitate the review process for the sanctuary superintendent.

Short Statement:
There is an increase in the number of respondents, responses, and burden hours since new sanctuary advisory councils were added in the past 3 years. Miscellaneous costs were greatly reduced as individuals are increasingly using electronic means for submission of applications. The federal government costs increased significantly due to an adjustment in the method of calculation. Rather than using a flat $20/hour labor rate, NOAA is now using a more accurate wage rate and percent of effort.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$137,039
