(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: N–648;
USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals and
Households. USCIS uses the Form N–

Nationality Act. By certifying Form N–
648, the doctor states that an applicant
filing an Application for Naturalization,
Form N–400, is unable to complete the
English and/or civics requirements
because of a physical or developmental
disability or mental impairment(s).
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection N–648 is 19,527 and the
estimated hour burden per response is
2.42 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated annual
hour burden associated with this
collection is 47,255 hours.
(7) An estimate of the total public
burden (in cost) associated with the
collection: The estimated total annual
cost burden associated with this
collection of information is 623,888.

Abstract: The USGS National Land
Imaging (NLI) Program is currently
planning for the next generation of
Landsat satellites. These satellites will
continue the multi-decadal continuous
collection of moderate-resolution,
multispectral, remotely-sensed imagery
through the Landsat program. Landsat
satellite imagery has been available at
no cost to the public since 2008, which
has resulted in the distribution of
millions of scenes each subsequent year,
as well tens of thousands of Landsat
users registering with USGS to access
the data. In order to continue to provide
high quality imagery that meets the
needs of users, NLI is collecting current
and future user requirements for sensor
and satellite attributes. These attributes
include spatial resolution, spectral
bands, frequency of acquisition, and
many others. NLI will use the
information from this collection to
understand if they are currently meeting
the needs of their user community and
to help determine the features of future
Landsat satellites. Questions will be
asked to determine user characteristics,
current uses of imagery, preferred
attributes of Landsat imagery, and
benefits of Landsat imagery. Previous
surveys were provided to all U.S.
Landsat imagery users who were
registered with USGS and a large
sample of international Landsat users
were also invited. However, many
changes have occurred, and many
Landsat users are not registered with
USGS, but instead access Landsat
imagery through a variety of new
platforms or cloud servers. The current
and future user requirements for sensor
and satellite attributes information from
this user group has not been collected
and is essential for future satellite
decision-making within the NLI
program.
To protect the confidentiality and
privacy of survey respondents, the data
from the survey will not be associated
with any respondent’s email address at
any time and will only be analyzed and
reported in aggregate. All files
containing PII will be passwordprotected, housed on secure USGS
servers, and only accessible to the
research team. The data from the survey

will be aggregated and statistically
analyzed and the results will be
published in publicly available USGS
reports.
Title of Collection: Current and Future
Landsat User Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0123
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: General
public.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 34,800.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 34,800.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 20 minutes on average. We
estimate that it will take 20 minutes per
person to complete the full survey and
5 minutes per person to complete the
non-response survey.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 8,900.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: One time.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: There are no ‘‘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).

I. Summary of the HEARTH Act
The HEARTH Act makes a voluntary,
alternative land leasing process
available to Tribes, by amending the
Indian Long-Term Leasing Act of 1955,
25 U.S.C. 415. The HEARTH Act
authorizes Tribes to negotiate and enter
into business leases of Tribal trust lands
with a primary term of 25 years, and up
to two renewal terms of 25 years each,
without the approval of the Secretary of
the Interior (Secretary). The HEARTH
Act also authorizes Tribes to enter into
leases for residential, recreational,
religious or educational purposes for a
primary term of up to 75 years without
the approval of the Secretary.
Participating Tribes develop Tribal
leasing regulations, including an
environmental review process, and then
must obtain the Secretary’s approval of
those regulations prior to entering into
leases. The HEARTH Act requires the
Secretary to approve Tribal regulations
if the Tribal regulations are consistent
with the Department of the Interior’s
(Department) leasing regulations at 25
CFR part 162 and provide for an
environmental review process that
meets requirements set forth in the
HEARTH Act. This notice announces
that the Secretary, through the Assistant
Secretary—Indian Affairs, has approved
the Tribal regulations for the Standing
Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South
Dakota.
