SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The USGS provides notifications and
warnings to the public of volcanic
activity in the U.S. in order to reduce
the loss of life, property, and economic
and societal impacts. Ash fallout to the
ground can pose significant disruption
and damage to buildings, transportation,
water and wastewater, power supply,
communications equipment,
agriculture, and primary production
leading to potentially substantial
societal impacts and costs, even at
thicknesses of only a few millimeters or
inches. Additionally, fine grained ash,
when ingested can cause health impacts
to humans and animals. 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 is 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.
Compiled ashfall reports are available
in real-time to AVO staff through the
AVO internal Web site. A pre-formatted
summary report or table that distills
information received online will show
ash fall reports in chronological order
with key fields including (1) date and
time of ash fall, (2) location, (3) positive
or negative ash fall (4) name of observer,
and (5) contact information is easily
viewable internally on the report so that

27MYN1

33702

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 103 / Friday, May 27, 2016 / Notices

calls for clarification can be made by
AVO staff quickly and Operations room
staff can visualize ashfall information
quickly.
Ash fall report data will also be
displayed on a dynamic map interface
and show positive (yes ash) and
negative (no ash) ash fall reports by
location. Ash fall reports (icons) will be
publically displayed for a period of 24
hours and shaded differently as they age
so that the age of reports is obvious.
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
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. AVO scientists
will—as time allows—be able to contact
the individuals using their entered
contact information for clarification and
details. 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. The online form will
also free up resources during
exceedingly busy times during an
eruption, as most individuals currently
phone AVO with their reports.
Observers may also collect and submit
a physical ashfall sample using mail
services. The area over which ash can
fall is large. Timely access is often
difficult for USGS employees and local
individuals are ideally positioned to
collect quality samples.

after each ashfall event.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals and households.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: Approximately 200
individuals will respond with an

instructions, and answering a web-based
questionnaire.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 33
hours.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: There are a few optional ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens associated with this
collection of information, such as
clipboards, plastic bags, and preparing
ash collection tools. We estimate the
maximum for all respondents is $711.
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, you are not
obliged to respond.
Comments: On February 12, 2016, we
published a Federal Register notice (81
FR 7582) announcing that we would
submit this ICR to OMB for approval
and soliciting comments. The comment
period closed on April 12, 2016. We
received no comments.
III. Request for Comments
We again invite comments concerning
this ICR as to: (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) how to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) how to minimize the
burden on the respondents, including
the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Please note that comments submitted
in response to this notice are a matter
of public record. Before including your
personal mailing address, phone
number, email address, or other
personally identifiable information in
your comment, you should be aware
that your entire comment, including
your personally identifiable
information, may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask
us and the OMB in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.
