SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Department of the Interior
Regional Climate Science Centers.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0096.
Type of Request: Notice of an
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Respondent Obligation: Required to
obtain a benefit.
Abstract: The National Climate
Change and Wildlife Science Center
(NCCWSC) has the responsibility to
manage DOI Climate Science Centers
(CSCs) that are co-located at cooperating
organizations at non-USGS facilities.
The NCCWSC works in close
partnership with the climate change
science and natural and cultural
resource management communities to
understand high priority science needs
and to develop science information
tools that can help resource managers
develop strategies for responding to
climate change. This program provides
funding for researchers through
cooperative agreements that involve
climate change science as a major
component. Eight DOI CSCs have been
established. The DOI CSCs and host
partnerships have been established on a
5-year renewable basis. The initial
information collection activity was
performed to identify the preferred
locations/institutional partners for
Climate Science Centers. This was a full
and open competition announced on
Grants.gov. Based on this information,
CSC host institutions have been
identified and have entered cooperative
agreements with USGS. At present,
information collection activities focus
on annual performance and financial
reports, required under the cooperative
agreements. This information is used to
conduct an annual performance
evaluation of each CSC’s progress in
meeting the goals of the agreement.
Frequency of Collection: Once
annually.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: We expect to receive
approximately 40 responses (annual
status reports) from a combination of
state/local and tribal governments as
well as from individuals representing
the private sector.
Estimated Annual Responses: 40.

Estimated Annual burden hours: 800.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: There is no non-hour cost
burden associated with this activity.
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: To comply with the
public consultation process, on January
11, 2013, we published a Federal
Register notice (78 FR 2422)
announcing that we would submit this
ICR to OMB for approval. The notice
provided the required 60-day public
comment period, which ended March
12, 2013. In response to our Federal
Register Notice, we received two
comments, which consisted of general
invectives about the U.S. Government
and did not pertain to this information
collection. 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.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment, including your
personal identifying information, may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask OMB in your
comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that it will
be done.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The NGP of the USGS provides
funding for the collection of geospatial
data to advance the development of The
National Map and other national
geospatial databases. In FY 2010,
projects for the collection of
orthoimagery and elevation data were
funded through the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act. Subject to future
funding availability, opportunities for
the collection or revision of data
including elevation, orthoimagery,
hydrography and other layers in the
national databases may be possible. We
will accept applications from State,
local or tribal governments and
academic institutions to supplement
ongoing data collection activities to
respond to an increasing demand for
more accurate and current geospatial
data. To submit a proposal a completed
project narrative and application must
be submitted via Grants.gov. Grant
recipients must complete a final
