Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your

Abstract: This notice concerns the
collection of information to inform
evaluation and selection of proposals for
NGGDPP funding. Annual NGGDPP
data preservation priorities are provided
in the Program Announcement.
Proposals are accepted from state
geological surveys requesting funds to
inventory, preserve, and make publicly
available geoscience collections and
data. Financial assistance is awarded
annually on a competitive basis
following the evaluation and ranking of
state proposals by a review panel
composed of representatives from the
Department of the Interior, state
geological surveys, and academic and
museum institutions. Since its inception
in 2007, NGGDPP has awarded 46 states
$7,043,000, which, when matched or
exceeded by the states, amounts to over
$14 million invested in the rescue and
preservation of valuable geoscientific
samples and data for research. To
submit a proposal, respondents must
complete a project narrative and submit
the application via www.grants.gov.
Grant recipients must complete a final
technical report at the end of the project
period. Narrative and report guidance is
available at http://
datapreservation.usgs.gov and in the
Program Announcement. Information
provided by respondents is proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552), implementation
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and data

geologic mappers. The primary objective
of the STATEMAP component of the
NCGMP is to establish the geologic
framework of areas that are vital to the
welfare of individual States.
The NCGMP EDMAP program
allocates funds to colleges and
universities in the United States and
Puerto Rico through an annual
competitive cooperative agreement
process. Every Federal dollar awarded is
matched with university funds.
Geology professors, who are skilled in
geologic mapping, request EDMAP
funding to support undergraduate and
graduate students at their college or
university in a one-year mentored
geologic mapping project that focuses
on a specific geographic area.
Only State Geological Surveys are
eligible to apply to the STATEMAP
component of the NCGMP pursuant to
the National Geologic Mapping Act
(Pub. L. 106–148). Since many State
Geological Surveys are organized under
a state university system, such
universities may submit a proposal on
behalf of the State Geological Survey.
Each fall, the program announcements
are posted to the Grants.gov website and
respondents are required to submit
applications (comprising Standard Form
424, 424A, 424B, Proposal Summary
Sheet, the Proposal, and Budget Sheets.
Additionally, EDMAP proposals must
include a Negotiated Rate Agreement
and a Support letter from a State
Geologist or USGS Project Chief).
Since 1996, more than $5 million
from the NCGMP has supported
geologic mapping efforts of more than
1,200 students working with more than
260 professors at 161 universities in 44
states, the District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico. Funds for graduate projects
are limited to $17,500 and
undergraduate project funds limited to
$10,000. These funds are used to cover
field expenses and student salaries, but
not faculty salaries or tuition. The
authority for both programs is listed in
the National Geologic Mapping Act
(Pub. L. 106–148).
We will protect information from
respondents considered proprietary
under the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552) and its 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.
