Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 21 / Wednesday, January 31, 2018 / Notices

November 21, 2017 (82 FR 55391). No
comments were received.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
U.S.G.S.; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the U.S.G.S. enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the U.S.G.S. minimize the burden
of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit 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 us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: As National Spatial Data
Infrastructure (NSDI) stakeholders move
forward with the implementation of the
International Organization for
Standardization’s (ISO) 191** series of
geospatial metadata standards, there is
increasing demand for information
about applications/editors that can be
used to create ISO compliant metadata
records. The USGS, through the Federal
Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)
Office of the Secretariat (www.fgdc.gov),
proposes development of an online
registration system for developers of ISO
Geospatial Metadata Editors to
voluntarily describe their metadata
tools. Developers will be asked to
include information such as features of
the editor, its functionality, supported
standards, and point of contact
information through a login-based,
online form. The FGDC Metadata
Working Group (MWG) (https://
www.fgdc.gov/organization/workinggroups-subcommittees/mwg/index_
html), whose membership represents
Federal, State, Local and Tribal
governments and the Private Sector, has
requested the development of the
registry as a useful tool to learn about
available ISO Geospatial Metadata
Editors. Because the information about
the editors may be of interest or utility
to others implementing ISO geospatial
metadata standards, the FGDC will
make the information collected

available on the Web in the form of a
simple registry-type database. FGDC
MWG members as well as non FGDC
MWG members including geospatial
metadata implementers from private
sector, academia, all forms of
government, and the general public, will
have read-only access to the editor
information published in the registry.
Title: ISO Geospatial Metadata Editors
Registry.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0110.
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Request: Renewal of existing
information collection.
Affected Public: Federal, State, Local
and Tribal governments, Private Sector,
and others involved in the development
of ISO geospatial metadata.
Respondent’s Obligation: None.
Participation is voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Following its
initial collection from editor developers,
the information will be reviewed at least
annually. As part of the annual review,
all editor developers listed in the
registry will be contacted and requested
to update their information, if needed,
via the login-based online form.
Additionally, all NSDI stakeholders will
be reminded via Web posting at the
FGDC website (www.fgdc.gov) and
community-of-practice networking that
new editors may be added to the
registry.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: Approximately 5.
Estimated Time per Response: We
estimate that it will take one hour per
person to document a single editor for
inclusion in the registry. In future years,
review of editor information to ensure
currency or identification of new editors
is expected to require de minimis effort.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 5
hours.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’
burdens associated with this IC.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authorities for this action are the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.).

Abstract: The William T. Pecora
Award is presented annually to
individuals or teams using satellite or
aerial remote sensing that make
outstanding contributions toward
understanding the Earth (land, oceans
and air), educating the next generation
of scientists, informing decision makers
or supporting natural or human-induced
disaster response. The award is
sponsored jointly by the Department of
the Interior (DOI) and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA).
The award was established in 1974 to
honor the memory of Dr. William T.
Pecora, former Director of the USGS and
Under Secretary, Department of the
Interior. Dr. Pecora was a motivating
force behind the establishment of a
program for civil remote sensing of the
Earth from space. His early vision and
support helped establish what we know
today as the Landsat satellite program.
The purpose of the award is to recognize
individuals or groups working in the
field of remote sensing of the earth.
National and international nominations
are accepted from the public and private
sector individuals, teams, organizations,
and professional societies.
Nomination packages include three
