We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described

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

Abstract: More than 6,500
nonindigenous species are now
established in the United States, posing
risks to native species, valued
ecosystems, and human and wildlife
health. These invasive species extract a
huge cost, an estimated $120 billion per
year, to mitigate their harmful impacts.
The current annual environmental,
economic, and health-related costs of
invasive species exceed those of all
other natural disasters combined.
Through its Invasive Species Program
(http://www.usgs.gov/ecosystems/
invasive_species/), the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) plays an important role
in Federal efforts to combat invasive
species in natural and semi-natural
areas through early detection and
assessment of newly established
invaders; monitoring of invading
populations; and improving
understanding of the ecology of
invaders and factors in the resistance of
habitats to invasion. The USGS provides
the tools, technology, and information
supporting efforts to prevent, contain,
control, and manage invasive species
nationwide. To meet user needs, the
USGS also develops methods for
compiling and synthesizing accurate
and reliable data and information on
invasive species for inclusion in a
distributed and integrated web-based
information system.

As part of the USGS Invasive Species
Program, the Nonindigenous Aquatic
Species (NAS) database (http://
nas.er.usgs.gov/) functions as a
repository and clearinghouse for
occurrence information on
nonindigenous aquatic species from
across the United States. It contains
locality information on approximately
1,300 species of vertebrates,
invertebrates, and vascular plants
introduced since 1850. Taxa include
foreign species as well as those native
to North America that have been
transported outside of their natural
range. The NAS website provides
immediate access to new occurrence
records through a real-time interface
with the NAS database. Visitors to the
website can use a set of predefined
queries to obtain lists of species
according to state or hydrologic basin of
interest. Fact sheets, distribution maps,
and information on new occurrences are
continually posted and updated.
Dynamically generated species
distribution maps show the spatial
accuracy of the locations reported,
population status, and links to more
information about each report.
Title of Collection: Nonindigenous
Aquatic Species Sighting Reporting
Form and Alert Registration Form.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0098.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State
and local government employees,
university personnel, and private
individuals.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: We estimate
approximately 350 respondents per year
for the sighting report form (some
respondents will submit multiple
reports per year), and 50 respondents
(i.e., new registrations) per year for the
alert registration form.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: We estimate 600 responses
per year for the sighting report form,
and 50 responses (i.e., new registrations)
per year for the alert registration form.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: We estimate 3 minutes for the
sighting report form, and 1 minute for
the alert registration form.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: We estimate 30 hours for
the sighting report form, and 1 hour for
the alert registration form; a total of 31
hours for the two forms.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
