seq.) and its implementing regulations
at 5 CFR 1320, all information
collections require approval under the
PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor
and you are not required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
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,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The Service collects and
maintains necessary geospatial data to
meet our mission in accordance with
the Federal Funding Accountability and
Transparency Act of 2006, as amended
(31 U.S.C. 6101); Geospatial Data Act of
2018 (43 U.S.C. chapter 46, 2801–2811);

Necessary (OPEN) Government Data
Act; Title II of the Foundations for
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of
2018 (Pub. L. 115–435); OMB Circular

Information and Related Spatial Data

‘‘Federal Participation in the

Geospatial data identifies and depicts
geographic locations, boundaries, and
characteristics of features on the surface
of the earth. Geospatial data includes
geographic coordinates (e.g., latitude
and longitude) to identify the location of
earth’s features, and data associated to
geographic locations (e.g., land survey
data and land cover type data). The
Service’s organizational ArcGIS online
program (AGOL), accessed at http://
fws.maps.arcgis.com, is an easy place to
share data with the public and partners,
as well as internally among Service
staff. It can also be used to build and
deploy mobile-enabled online maps,
applications, and services for
geographic information systems (GIS)
users and non-GIS users alike. Sensitive
data is restricted from public access via
an internal-facing intranet version of
AGOL. Moreover, because the system
contains only controlled unclassified
information (CUI) that would be
designated as low impact under the
Federal Information Security Act
(FISMA; 2002), no personally
identifiable information (PII) is allowed
within the system.
The AGOL platform enables the
Service to effectively manage geospatial
data resources and technology to
successfully deliver geospatial services
in support of the Service’s mission. Data
collected through AGOL enables
improved visualization, analysis,
interoperability, modeling, sharing, and
decision support. The benefits include
increased accuracy, increased
productivity, and more efficient
information management and
application support.
In addition to collecting name and
contact information, additional
comments about the submission, and
photographs (optional), we collect the
following types of data from our
partners through AGOL to improve our
online maps, web-mapping
applications, and story maps (data
collected is specific to a particular
project; we will not collect all data types
below with each submission):
