The National Ocean Service (NOS) proposes to collect economic data to document perceived effects of weather and climate events and adaptation strategies, to assess probable public benefits that would be derived from shoreline treatment options within coastal New Hampshire, and to establish a baseline for future monitoring of NOAAâs success in meeting its mandates and obligations. The final collection will support the development of a Coastal Shoreline Management Plan for New Hampshire as well as provide information to help inform local coastal zone management and planning.
This request is for a revision to modify the final survey instrument as a result of data gathered during the pretest of this collection. Upon analysis of the pre-test data and guidance from experts in survey methodology, changes were made to enhance understanding, response rate, and to minimize respondent burden. For example, some questions have been removed or modified to reduce burden and others added to improve data quality.
The sample size for the pre-test was 540 respondents; the numbers in this submission represent the actual number of respondents (121) for the pretest.
The number of respondents for the Non-Response follow up decreased based on the response rate for the non-response survey in pre-test.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
