review and clearance in accordance
[[Page 53035]]
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

Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
Title: StormReady, TsunamiReady, TsunamiReady Supporter, and
StormReady Supporter Application Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0419.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 285.
Average Hours per Response: StormReady/TsunamiReady applications: 2
hours; StormReady/TsunamiReady Supporter applications: 1 hour.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 525.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for extension of an existing
information collection.
The National Weather Service (NWS) established the StormReady
program in 1999 and the TsunamiReady program in 2002 to help
communities, counties, Indian nations, universities and colleges,
military bases, government sites, commercial enterprises and other
groups reduce the potential for weather-related and tsunami hazards
through advanced planning, education and awareness. The program
encourages communities to take a new, proactive approach to improving
local hazardous weather operations by providing emergency managers with
clear-cut guidelines on how to improve their hazardous weather
operations. By participating in this program, local agencies earn
recognition for their jurisdiction by meeting guidelines established by
the NWS in partnership with federal, state, and local emergency
management professionals. Information and details on the StormReady and
TsunamiReady programs are located at <a href="https://www.weather.gov/stormready/">https://www.weather.gov/stormready/</a> and <a href="https://www.weather.gov/tsunamiready/">https://www.weather.gov/tsunamiready/</a>.
A Supporter is an organization, business, facility, or local
government entity actively engaged in weather safety and preparedness
that is unable to meet all the requirements of the full StormReady or
TsunamiReady program. Sites may be eligible based on the bylaws of the
local NWS StormReady Advisory Board and endorsement of local emergency
management. A local StormReady Advisory Board has final approval for
Supporter designation.
StormReady/TsunamiReady are voluntary programs that provide
guidance and incentive to officials interested in improving their
hazardous weather operations. The government will use the information
collected by the StormReady/TsunamiReady application to determine
whether a community has met all of the guidelines to receive
StormReady/TsunamiReady recognition.
Affected Public: Business or other for profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
