SUMMARY: To comply with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), we are notifying the public that
we have submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a new
information collection request (ICR) for
approval of the paperwork requirements
for the National Cooperative Geologic
Mapping Program (NCGMP). The
NCGMP has two components:
educational (EDMAP) and State
(STATEMAP). This notice provides the
public an opportunity to comment on
the paperwork burden of the application
requirements discussed below.
DATES: You must submit comments on
or before May 21, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Please submit comments on
this information collection directly to
the Office of Management and Budget,

Coordinator (STATEMAP and EDMAP),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The primary objective of the EDMAP
component of the NCGMP is to train the
next generation of geologic mappers. To
do this, NCGMP provides funds for
graduate and selected undergraduate
students in academic research projects
that involve geologic mapping as a
major component. Through these
cooperative agreements, NCGMP hopes
to expand the research and educational
capacity of academic programs that
teach earth science students the
techniques of geologic mapping and
field data analysis. We will accept only
one proposal from an individual
principal investigator (professor or
faculty advisor), although we will
accept more than one proposal from a
single university if authored by different
principal investigators. Although

PO 00000

Frm 00051

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

EDMAP awards support student
mapping in the field, the student’s
faculty advisor must write the proposal.
All applications must be submitted
through Grants.gov.
The primary objective of the
STATEMAP component of the NCGMP
is to establish the geologic framework of
areas determined to be vital to the
economic, social, or scientific welfare of
individual States. The State geologist
determines mapping priorities in
consultation with a multirepresentational State Mapping
Advisory Committee. We will accept
only one proposal from each State each
fiscal year. Proposals may contain a
number of geologic mapping projects
and may include one compilation or
digitization project, or all projects may
be for new mapping if the State chooses.
All applications must be submitted
through Grants.gov.
II. Data
OMB Control Number: None. This is
a new collection.
Title: National Cooperative Geologic
Mapping Program (EDMAP and
STATEMAP).
Respondent Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: 101. U.S. accredited
university geoscience or related
departments are eligible for EDMAP
funds. University professors must write
and submit the proposals. Only State
Geological Surveys are eligible to apply
for the STATEMAP component. Since
many State Geological Surveys are
organized under a State university
system, such universities may submit a
proposal on behalf of the State
Geological Survey.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 101.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 2,020.
We expect to receive 55 applications for
EDMAP and 46 for STATEMAP, each
taking 20 hours to complete. This
includes the time for project conception
and development, proposal writing and
reviewing, and submitting a project
narrative through Grants.gov.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’
burdens associated with this collection
of information.
III. Request for Comments
On April 22, 2008, we published a
Federal Register notice (73 FR 21646)
soliciting comments on the STATEMAP
component. The comment period closed
on June 23, 2008. On August 26, 2008,

the EDMAP component. The comment
period for this notice closed on October
27, 2008. We did not receive any
comments in response to these notices.
We again invite comments concerning
this ICR on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the agency to perform its duties,
including whether the information is
useful; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden on the respondents, including
the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
