SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Spatial Data
Infrastructure Cooperative Agreements
Program (NSDI CAP).
OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW.
Abstract: To date, the NSDI CAP
awards have created collaborations at all
levels of government, developed an
understanding of geospatial information
in organizations and disciplines new to
the NSDI, provided seed money to
enable geospatial organizations to
participate in the national effort to
implement the NSDI, promoted the
development of standardized metadata
in hundreds of organizations, and
funded numerous implementations of
OGC Web Mapping Services and Web
Feature Services. The program is open
to State, local and tribal governments,
academia, and commercial and nonprofit organizations and provides small
seed grants to initiate sustainable ongoing NSDI implementations. The
program emphasizes partnerships,
collaboration and the leveraging of
geospatial resources in achieving its
goals. Since the funding level is limited,
organizations must compete to be
awarded funds. Respondents are
submitting proposals to acquire funding
for projects to help build the
infrastructure necessary for the
geospatial data community to effectively
discover, access, share, manage, and use
digital geographic data.
The NSDI consists of the technologies,
policies, organizations, and people
necessary to promote cost-effective
production, and the ready availability
and greater utilization of geospatial data
among a variety of sectors, disciplines,
and communities. Specific NSDI areas
of emphasis include: metadata
documentation, clearinghouse
establishment, framework development,
standards implementation, and
geographic information system (GIS)
organizational coordination.
This notice concerns the collection of
information that is sufficient and
relevant to evaluate and select proposals
for funding. We will protect information
from respondents considered
proprietary under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR Part
2), and under regulations at 30 CFR
250.197, ‘‘Data and information to be
made available to the public or for
limited inspection.’’ Responses are
voluntary. No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’
nature are asked. We intend to release
the project abstracts and primary
investigators for awarded/funded
projects only.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Affected Public: Private sector; State,
local, and tribal governments;
Academia; Non-profit organizations.
Respondent Obligation: Voluntary
(necessary to receive benefits).
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: We expect to receive
approximately 80 proposals during the
grant application process. We anticipate
issuing 25 grants per year. The program
is open to State, local and tribal
governments, academia, and
commercial and non-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Responses:
Approximately 80 applications and 50
reports per year.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Based on comments received
during the FR Notice 60 day comment
period, we have adjusted our original
burden request by 7 hours from 18 to 25
hours per respondent. We expect to
receive approximately 80 applications,
taking each applicant approximately 25
hours to complete, totaling 2,000 burden
hours. We anticipate awarding an
average of 25 grants per year. The 25
award recipients are required to submit
2 reports: an interim 6 months after the
start of the project and a final report on
or before 90 working days after the
expiration of the agreement. We
estimate that it will take approximately
5 hours to complete and submit the
reports totaling 250 hours. Therefore,
the annual burden for report preparation
is 250 hours. We estimate that the total
burden for this collection will be 2,250
hours.
Annual Burden Hours: 2,250.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have not identified any
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated
with this collection of information.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA

collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: To comply with the
public consultation process, on
November 21, 2007, we published a
Federal Register notice (72 FR 65592)
announcing our intent to submit this
information collection to OMB for
approval. In that notice we solicited
public comments for 60 days, ending on
January 22, 2008. We did not receive
any public comments in response to the
