relationships and engagements with
CISA. The survey is designed so that
each sector has a customized link with
specific questions for that sector to
account for some minor differences in
the convenings, products, and services
that each sector provides. This will help
ensure that the members of each sector
are asked questions that are most
relevant to them.
Interviews. The study team will also
conduct a series of virtual interviews
with up to 75 participants who
complete the online survey and agree to
participate in the interview. The study
team plans to conduct the in-depth
interviews by telephone or via a webbased conference call platform, such as
Microsoft Teams. This format should be
less burdensome to study participants
than in-person interviews since they do
not have to host study team members.
The interviews will ask more in-depth
information about representatives’
reasons for satisfaction or dissatisfaction
with CISA’s convening activities,
products, and services; types of
organizational changes made as a result
of CISA’s convening activities, products,
and services; and the quality of
relationships with CISA.
Without collecting this information,
CISA will not meet the requirements of
the Evidence Act to conduct program
evaluations—particularly, this SED
Convenings Evaluation, which was
included in the Department of
Homeland Security FY 2023 Annual
Evaluation Plan as a ‘‘significant’’
evaluation. In addition, without
collecting this information, SED, other
CISA stakeholder engagement programs,
and CISA-at-large will not be able to
understand whether and how CISA’s
convening activities, products, and
services provide value and utility for
stakeholders to enhance their decisionmaking and risk reduction. Thus, CISA
will not have the information needed to
learn how to improve the planning,
execution, and delivery of the
convenings, products, and services so
that they are more meaningful, relevant,
timely, and actionable for stakeholders.
Without collecting this information,
CISA will also not be able to assess how
to best engage and build trusted
relationships with stakeholders, which
is needed to identify areas for
improvement in how CISA collaborates
and interacts with stakeholders to
support information exchange within
and across sectors.

who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing,
or have a speech disability may dial 711
(TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States
should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. You may
also view the information collection
request (ICR) at http://www.reginfo.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general
public and other Federal agencies with
an opportunity 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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on August
12, 2025 (90 FR 38796). No comments
were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. 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 the agency might 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. Before including your

Abstract: The National Land Remote
Sensing Education, Outreach and
Research Activity is an effort that
involves the development of a U.S.
national consortium in building the
capability to receive, process and
archive remotely sensed data. The
purposes are to provide university and
State organizations with access to data
in a ready-to-use format and to expand
the science of remote sensing through
education, research, applications
development, and outreach in areas
such as water availability (or lack
thereof), phenology, natural resource
management and disaster analysis.
Respondents submit proposals to
acquire funding for a national (U.S.)
program to promote the uses of spacebased land remote sensing data and
technologies through education and
outreach at the State and local level and
through university-based and
collaborative research projects. The
information collected will ensure that
sufficient and relevant information is
available to evaluate and select a
proposal for funding. A panel of USGS
Core Science Systems Mission Area
managers and scientists will review
each proposal to evaluate the technical
merit, requirements, and priorities
identified in the call for proposals.
This notice concerns the collection of
information that is sufficient and
relevant to evaluate and select proposals
for funding. We will protect information
from respondents considered
proprietary under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), its
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2), and 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data and
information to be made available to the
public or for limited inspection.’’
Responses are voluntary. No questions
of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. We
intend to release the project abstracts
and primary investigators for awarded/
funded projects only.

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: Approximately 5

Responses: Approximately 5 responses
or applications.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: We expect to receive
approximately 5 applications per year,
taking each applicant approximately 24
hours to complete, totaling 120 burden
hours. We anticipate awarding one (1)
grant per year. The grantee will be
required to submit an interim annual
progress report to the designated USGS
project officer within 90 days of the end
of the project period and a final report
on or before 90 working days after the
expiration of the agreement.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 120 hours per year.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: There are no ‘‘non-hourcost’’ burdens associated with this
information collection.

Decision Declining To Adopt Proposed

Bureau of Land Management,

ACTION: Notice of decision.
AGENCY:

After reconsidering proposed
Notice to Lessees No. 5 (NTL–5) based
on the Executive Order 14154,
‘‘Unleashing American Energy’’ (Jan. 20,
2025), and additional direction from the
Secretary of the Interior, the Bureau of

not to publish a final NTL–5 as was first
proposed in the Federal Register on
November 14, 2024.
This decision takes effect on
December 22, 2025.

DATES:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

On
November 14, 2024, the BLM published
proposed NTL–5, ‘‘Clarifying the
Implementation of Certain BLM Oil and
Gas Measurement Regulations’’ (89 FR
90037). Proposed NTL–5 would have
clarified when and how operators are
expected to comply with certain
requirements in the oil and gas
measurement regulations in 43 CFR part
3170, which became effective in January
2017. The BLM issued the proposed
NTL–5 pursuant to 43 CFR 3164.2,
which authorizes the BLM to issue
notices to lessees when necessary to
implement the BLM’s oil and gas
regulations.
However, in compliance with
Executive Order 14154, ‘‘Unleashing
American Energy,’’ which directs
Federal agencies to identify any rules or
other actions that ‘‘impose an undue
burden on the identification,
development, or use of domestic energy
resources,’’ and in compliance with
additional direction from the Secretary
of the Interior, the BLM has
reconsidered the proposed notice and
now declines to publish a final version
of NTL–5. This withdrawal decision is
being issued to reduce compliance
burdens for operators.
