This is a request for extension,
without change, of a currently approved collection of information.
The existing IC "Weather Modification Activities Reports - Initial,
Interim, and Final" was broken out into 2 separate ICs (Initial
Reports, and Interim and Final Reports) to provide transparency and
accurately reflect the response time for each form and number of
expected responses of each form. No changes were made to the
information collected or reporting requirements. NOAA collects
reports on weather modification activities (e.g., cloud-seeding)
for archive, to meet legislative requirements originating in 1971,
and to respond to requests for information. Reports consist of an
initial, an interim form if needed, and a final form which
summarize planned and concluding location and project type. NOAA
maintains these records in a publicly-accessible archive and
provides summaries and responses to queries when
requested.
PL:
Pub.L. 94 - 490 6(b) Name of Law: Weather Modification
Activities or Attempts - Reporting Requirements
The change in burden is a
result of breaking IC "Weather Modification Activities Reports -
Initial and Interim and Final Reports" out into two separate ICs -
Initial Reports, and Interim and Final Reports. This allowed for
the correct entry of burden time per response and number of
responses (10 reflects the number of interim responses). There are
no changes to the requirements of this collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
