The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has issued a notice requesting public comments on an information collection related to Hawaii reef diving and snorkeling. This survey aims to understand divers' and snorkelers' spending related to reef activities in several U.S. locations, expanding a previous survey conducted in Hawaii. Feedback from the public will help evaluate the necessity and utility of the information collection, improve its quality, and reduce the burden on respondents. Comments from the public will be included in the request for approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Simple Explanation
The government wants to know how much money people spend when they dive or snorkel in Hawaii's coral reefs, so they're asking people for their thoughts on a survey they made, which helps them check if the survey is good and not too hard to fill out. They want to make sure it's easy to understand and doesn't take too long for people to finish.
