A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be
subject to a penalty for failure to comply with an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved
OMB Control Number for this information collection is 0690-0030. Without this approval, we could not conduct this
survey. Public reporting for this information collection is estimated to be approximately 12 minutes per response,
including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the information collection. All responses to this information collection are
voluntary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this information collection,
including suggestions for reducing this burden to the NOAA Climate Program Office, [email protected].
