SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA of 1995 (PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all information
collections require approval under the PRA. We may not conduct nor
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 personally identifiable information
(PII) in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--
including your PII--may be made publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to withhold your PII from public review,
we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: The USGS proposes to collect general demographic
information about public users who download products from USGS user
interfaces. This information helps address Congressional, OMB and DOI
inquiries regarding common data uses and affiliations, along with other
questions used to justify maintaining the free distribution of USGS
land remote-sensing data. The information collected in the database
includes the names, affiliations, addresses, email addresses, and
telephone numbers of individuals. The information is gathered to
facilitate the reporting of demographic data for users of USGS
applications. Demographic data are also used to make decisions on
future functional requirements of the system.
The demographic information is stored on an internal encrypted
database. In some cases, contact information is required in order to
notify the customer about information regarding data availability.
Email information is also utilized for two-factor authentication. The
registration system does not derive new data and does not create new
data through aggregation.
Personal information is not used as search criteria. Access to the
information uses the least privileged access methodology (whereby
access is limited to only the information absolutely necessary to
perform a task). Authorized individuals with specifically granted
access to the Privacy Act data can retrieve information only by account
number or order number Personal data is encrypted while stored in the
database. A contact ID is generated when an account is created.
Title of Collection: EROS Registration Service.
OMB Control Number: 1028-0119.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Federal Agencies, state, tribal, and
non-government individuals who have requested USGS products from USGS
distribution applications are covered in this system. The system has
only one category for individuals.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: Approximately 335,000
respondents on an annual basis.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: Approximately 335,000
responses on an annual basis.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: 2 minutes on average.

respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
