the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on February 27,
2020, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration.
Title: Coastal and Marine Ecological
Classification Standard Solicitation for
Revisions.
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 100.
Average Hours per Response: 1.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 100.
Needs and Uses: NOAA’s Office of
Coastal Management (OCM) is
proposing a new information collection
that will allow interested parties to
submit requests for revisions to update
the Coastal and Marine Ecological
Classification Standard (CMECS).
CMECS was approved by the Federal
Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) in
August 2012 and provides a national
standard for consistent descriptions of
coastal and marine ecological features.
The primary uses of CMECS are in
mapping and classifying the geological,
physical, biological, and chemical
components of the environment. Among
other applications, the CMECS
framework can be used to integrate data
from disparate sources, facilitate
comparisons among sites, and organize
data for regional assessment. Since its
publication in 2012, the CMECS has
been used to characterize habitats
ranging from coastal wetlands and
estuaries to the deep ocean and at local
to global scales. Benefits of CMECS
include: Data collected by different
sensors and methods can be integrated
into a single database; all the physical,
biological, and chemical-forcing
functions that collectively determine a
habitat type can be captured; and the
system has the flexibility to
accommodate new units as additional
information becomes available.
The CMECS was developed as a
dynamic standard to allow periodic
revisions to continue to meet the needs
of the user community and as such, the
CMECS can be updated to accommodate
the requirements of evolving scientific
practices, technology, and coastal and
marine resource management. The
review process allows the CMECS to
retain its consistency, credibility, and
rigor through periodic reviews and an
orderly, authoritative, and transparent
updating process as required by the
Federal Geographic Data Committee.
Anyone can propose changes, which
can include minor edits, such as

grammatical or typographical
corrections, clarifications of definitions
and meaning, or more substantial
changes to the hierarchy within
components. The CMECS
Implementation Group, through the
Office for Coastal Management, has
determined it is necessary to initiate the
dynamic standard process to revise the
CMECS. We are soliciting
recommendations for revisions to the
CMECS through a form to be posted on
the CMECS website. All
recommendations collected will be
reviewed and revisions will be made to
the CMECS to reflect those
recommendations found to be valuable
for implementation of the CMECS and
supportive of the user community
needs.
Affected Public: Coastal scientists and
managers throughout the United States
responsible for characterization of
coastal and marine habitats or
ecosystems more broadly. This may
include academia; non-governmental
organizations; State, Local or Tribal
government; Federal government; and
for profit environmental support
businesses.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority:
This information collection request

information collection should be
