SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: USGS Ash Fall Report
OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW
Abstract: The USGS provides
warnings and notification to the public
of volcanic activity in the U.S. in order
to reduce the loss of life, property, and
economic and societal impacts. USGS
will use reports entered in real time by
respondents of ash fall in their local
area to correct or refine ash fall forecasts
as the ash cloud moves downwind.
Retrospectively these reports will enable
USGS to improve their ash fall models
and further research into eruptive
processes.
This project will create a database
module and web interface allowing the
public and Alaska Volcano Observatory
(AVO) staff to enter reports of ash fall
in their local area in real time and
retrospectively following an eruptive
event. Users browsing the AVO Web site
during eruptions will be directed
towards a web form allowing them to
fill in ash fall information and submit
the information to AVO.
The ash fall report database will help
AVO track eruption clouds and
associated fallout downwind. These
reports from the public will also give
scientists a more complete record of the

PO 00000

Frm 00035

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

amount and duration and other
conditions of ash fall. Getting first-hand
accounts of ash fall will support model
ash fall development and interpretation
of satellite imagery. Knowing the
locations from which ash-fall reports
have been filed will improve ash fall
warning messages, AVO Volcanic
Activity Notifications, and make
fieldwork more efficient. AVO staff will
be able to condense and summarize the
various ash fall reports and forward that
information on to emergency
management agencies and the wider
public.
Frequency: On occasion, after each
ash fall event during eruptions
Description of Respondents:
Individuals affected by a volcanic ash
fall events each year (if an eruption
occurs).
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: 575
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 78
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We estimate the non-hour cost
burden to be $14.15 per respondent.
Although not required, we estimate 50
respondents on an annual basis may
voluntarily take and submit an ash fall
sample. We suggest supplies on our
Web site for respondents to use to assist
them with their collection. Most
respondents are likely to already
possess the items so the true non-hour
cost burden is likely to be lower.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor and
you are not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Comments: On June 11, 2012, we
published a Federal Register Notice (77
FR 34400) announcing that we would
submit this information collect to OMB
for approval. The notice provided a 60day public commenting period ending
on August 20, 2012. We did not receive
any comments in response to that
notice. We again invite comments
concerning this information collection
on: (1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
our estimate of the burden for this
collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents. Please note that the
comments submitted in response to this
notice are a matter of public record.
