Abstract:
This request is for a revision to an existing information collection. This revision addresses minor updates to four existing forms and the addition of a fifth form that relate to the analysis of and participation in ocean exploration video products and expeditions. NOAA Ocean Exploration (OER) uses voluntary surveys to identify the needs of users of data, best approaches to leverage the expertise of shore-based participants, feedback on expeditions, and for meaningful public engagement with ocean exploration products. The one required form in the collection is for the limited number of scientists who sail aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer to collect information pertaining to health and safety while at sea. Revisions to this collection include updated informational attachments (e.g., links to updated COVID guidance, medical clearance, underwater cultural heritage protocols) and updated expedition names and dates for a given calendar year. The Okeanos Explorer Participation Assessment form contains revisions to include optional feedback questions that relate to communication, leadership, and workplace climate during OER’s ocean exploration expeditions. This request also includes a new voluntary form to solicit interest within the scientific community to sail aboard the Okeanos Explorer as a Science Lead. The existing collection has a current expiration date of December 31, 2023. Revisions are requested at this time to improve the form collection for 2024.
