The Department of Commerce, specifically the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is requesting public comments on the information collection activities for the Sea Grant Program. The program, which supports research, education, and outreach related to ocean and coastal resources, is revising its information collection process. The revisions include transitioning data collection from Excel spreadsheets to an online webform, which aims to improve data management and user experience. This notice provides a 30-day period for public comments and suggestions on these proposed updates.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Commerce wants people to share their thoughts on how they plan to change a program that helps with ocean and coastal work. They want to stop using paper forms and start using a computer form, but some parts of their plan aren't very clear yet.
