HCFAC will be subject to the same
evaluation criteria.
III. Selection and Meetings
After all nominations have been
reviewed, HUD will publish a notice in
the Federal Register announcing the
appointment of the HCFAC members.
Member selections will be made by the
Secretary and will be based on the
candidates’ qualifications to contribute
to the accomplishment of the HCFAC’s
objectives. HCFAC selection will be
made based on factors such as expertise
and diversity of viewpoints that are
necessary to effectively address the
matters before the HCFAC. Membership
on the HCFAC is personal to the
appointee and HCFAC members serve at
the discretion of the Secretary.
The estimated number of in-person
meetings anticipated within a fiscal year
is two (2) in Washington DC or
elsewhere in the United States.

Abstract: The U.S. Geological Survey
is required to collect, evaluate, publish
and distribute information concerning
earthquakes. Respondents have an
opportunity to voluntarily supply
information concerning the effects of
shaking from an earthquake—on
themselves, buildings, other man-made
structures, and ground effects such as
faulting or landslides. Respondents’
observations are interpreted in terms of
numbers that measure the strength of
shaking, and the resulting numbers are
displayed on maps that are viewable
from USGS earthquake websites.
Observations are submitted via the Felt
Report questionnaire accessed from the
USGS Did You Feel It? Earthquake
Questionnaire web pages, and may be
submitted via computer or mobile
phone. Respondents are asked to
provide information on the location to
which the report pertains. The locations
may, at the respondent’s option, be
given imprecisely (city-name or postal
Zip Code) or precisely (street address,
geographic coordinates, or current

location determined by the user’s
mobile phone). Low resolution maps of
shaking based on both precise and
imprecise observations are published for
all earthquakes for which observations
are submitted. For earthquakes felt by
many respondents, the observations that
are associated with more precise
locations are used in the preparation of
higher resolution maps of earthquake
shaking.
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and 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
will release data collected on these
forms only in formats that do not
include proprietary information
volunteered by respondents.

anthropological, genealogical and
historical data used by the AS–IA to
establish whether a petitioning group
has the characteristics necessary to be
acknowledged as having a governmentto-government relationship with the
United States. Respondents are not
required to retain copies of the
information submitted to OFA but will
probably maintain copies for their own
use; therefore, there is no recordkeeping
requirement included in this
information collection.
