DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; NOAA Satellite Customer Questionnaire
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on June 9, 2021 (86 FR 30595) during a 60-day comment
period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
Title: NOAA Satellite Customer Questionnaire.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0227.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission [extension of a current
information collection].
Number of Respondents: 30.
Average Hours per Response: 6 minutes per response.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 3.
Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current
information collection. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) operates a minimum of four meteorological
satellite imagery transmission systems, two from geostationary
operational environmental (GOES) satellites and two from polar-orbiting
television infrared operational (TIROS) satellites. In addition, legacy
backup and standby polar-orbiting satellites continue to be operated as
their health permits. The data transmitted are available worldwide, and
any user can establish a ground receiving station for reception of the
data without the prior consent, notification, or other approval from
NOAA. With such an open access policy, it is currently not possible to
have a comprehensive understanding of the range and number of the data
users and application of the data received and/or used. The purpose of
collecting the information contained in the user registration form is
to satisfy the following objectives: (1) To comply with international
agreements such as the Department of Commerce (DOC)/NOAA's efforts with
the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), so that NOAA can provide
environmental satellite data and processed satellite data products to
the public domain, and (2) To improve Government efficiencies of data
dissemination using cost-saving technologies to minimize the
expenditure of personnel and financial resources.
The collection of information from a respondent is initiated when
an individual contacts National Environmental Satellite, Data, and
Information Service (NESDIS) via letter,
[[Page 51125]]
telephone, fax or email, or when they visit a web page. If the nature
of the contact indicates the individual may operate a satellite
receiving station for the acquisition of NOAA satellite data or may use
NOAA satellite data or services, the individual is requested to
complete an on-line electronic questionnaire, which is found on a NOAA
internet site. The questionnaire is completed at the respondent's
discretion. The information received is used by NOAA for short-term
operations and long-term planning. Collection of this data assists in
complying with the terms of the coordination with the WMO, MOU with
DOC, and NOAA on areas of common interest and other international
agreements.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; Not-
for-profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal government; Federal
government.
Frequency: Once; updates as needed.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
