Abstract: The Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Restoration Project Information Sheet is designed to facilitate the collection of information on existing planned, or proposed restoration projects. This information will be used by the Natural Resource Trustees to develop potential restoration alternatives for natural resource injuries and service losses requiring restoration during the restoration planning phase of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process. NOAA Fisheries is proposing amendments to the current OMB approved NRDA Restoration Project Information Sheet (OMB Control No. 0648-0497) to reduce the burden on state and federal trustees when required by the NRDA process to gather public input on restoration project options. In addition, we would also like to retain the original format for the purposes of gathering restoration project information specific to the Louisiana Regional Restoration Planning program, who prefers the original format. There will be no difference in burden or cost associated with the revised form.
