SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are
announcing a new deadline for
submittal of public comments on two
draft documents prepared in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered
Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.). A Federal Register notice of
availability for a draft environmental
assessment (EA) addressing a habitat
conservation plan (HCP) being
developed by the City of Tumwater
Public Works Department in support of
its application for an ESA incidental
take permit was published on December
26, 2018 (83 FR 66292). Public
comments on these documents were due
by January 25, 2019. However, due to a
partial lapse in Federal budget
appropriations, the draft HCP and EA
were not made available to the public
on the website referenced in the notice
of availability. Consequently, we are

for an additional 15 calendar days.
Reopening the comment period will
allow the public an opportunity to
review the proposed HCP and EA,
which are now available on the
referenced website, which is http://
www.fws.gov/wafwo/. We invite the
public to review and comment on both
documents. The notice of availability
contains additional background
information, which is not repeated here.

We provide this notice in accordance
with the requirements of section 10 of
the ESA and NEPA and their
implementing regulations (50 CFR 17.22
and 40 CFR 1506.6, respectively).

public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are 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. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,

Abstract
The USGS provides notifications and
warnings to the public of volcanic
activity in the US in order to reduce the
loss of life, property, and economic and
societal impacts. Ash fallout to the
ground can pose significant disruption
and damage to buildings, transportation,
water and wastewater, power supply,
communications equipment,
agriculture, and primary production
leading to potentially substantial
societal impacts and costs, even at
thicknesses of only a few millimeters or
inches. Additionally, fine-grained ash,
when ingested can cause health impacts
to humans and animals. USGS will use
reports entered in real time by
respondents of ashfall in their local area
to correct or refine ashfall forecasts as
the ash cloud moves downwind.
Retrospectively these reports will enable
USGS to improve their ashfall models
and further research into eruptive
processes.

This project is a database module and
web interface allowing the public and
Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) staff
to enter reports of ashfall in their local
area in real time and retrospectively
following an eruptive event. Users
browsing the AVO website during
eruptions will be directed towards a
web form allowing them to fill in ashfall
information and submit the information
to AVO.
Compiled ashfall reports are available
in real-time to AVO staff through the
AVO internal website. A pre-formatted
summary report or table that distills
information received online will show
ashfall reports in chronological order
with key fields including (1) date and
time of ashfall, (2) location, (3) positive
or negative ashfall (4) name of observer,
and (5) contact information is easily
viewable internally on the report so that
calls for clarification can be made by
AVO staff quickly and Operations room
staff can visualize ashfall information
quickly.
Ashfall report data will also be
displayed on a dynamic map interface
and show positive (yes ash) and
negative (no ash) ashfall reports by
location. Ashfall reports (icons) will be
publicly displayed for a period of 24
hours and shaded differently as they age
so that the age of reports is obvious.
The ashfall report database will help
AVO track eruption clouds and
associated fallout downwind. These
reports from the public will also give
scientists a more complete record of the
amount and duration and other
conditions of ashfall. Getting first-hand
accounts of ashfall will support model
ashfall development and interpretation
of satellite imagery. AVO scientists
will—as time allows—be able to contact
the individuals using their entered
contact information for clarification and
details. Knowing the locations from
which ashfall reports have been filed
will improve ashfall warning messages,
AVO Volcanic Activity Notifications,
and make fieldwork more efficient. AVO
staff will be able to condense and
summarize the various ashfall reports
and forward that information on to
emergency management agencies and
the wider public. The online form will
also free up resources during
exceedingly busy times during an
eruption, as most individuals currently
phone AVO with their reports.
Title of Collection: USGS Ashfall
Report.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0106.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: General
Public, local governments and
emergency managers.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: We are likely to ask
individuals to respond 1–6 times year
which is the number of past eruptions
we have during any one year in Alaska.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: Approximately 250
individuals affected by a volcanic
ashfall event each year.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: We estimate the public
reporting burden will average 5 minutes
per response. This includes the time for
reviewing instructions, and answering a
web-based questionnaire.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 21 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion,
after each ashfall event.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: We have not identified any
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated
with this collection of information.
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 authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
