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
USGS; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the USGS enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the USGS 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

Abstract: The USGS is working with
the Federal Advisory Committee on
Water Information (ACWI) and its
Subcommittee on Ground Water
(SOGW) to develop and administer a
National Ground-Water Monitoring
Network (NGWMN). This network is
required as part of Public Law 111–11,
Subtitle F—Secure Water: Section 9507,
42 U.S.C. 10367, ‘‘Water Data
Enhancement by United States
Geological Survey.’’ The NGWMN will
consist of an aggregation of wells from
existing Federal, State, Tribal, and local
groundwater monitoring networks. To
support data providers for the NGWMN,
the USGS will be providing funding
through cooperative agreements to
water-resource agencies that collect
groundwater data. The USGS will be
soliciting applications for funding that
will request information from the
Agency collecting the data. Elements
will include contact information (phone
number and email address), and a
proposal describing their proposed work
in support of the NGWMN. The
proposal will describe the groundwater
networks to be included in the
NGWMN, the purpose of the networks,
and the Principal aquifers that are
monitored. Proposals may include work
to become a new data provider to the
NGWMN, support for maintaining
connections to agency databases, and
work to enhance NGWMN sites
(updating metadata, performing well
maintenance, and well drilling). The

proposal would also require estimates of
costs to complete the above tasks and a
timeline for planned completion. The
proposal will be reviewed by the USGS
and the NGWMN Program Board who
will make funding recommendations.
