the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is proposing to renew an information
collection with revisions.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
June 10, 2024.

Individuals in the United States 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-of-contact in
the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 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.
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. 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 identifying 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 personal identifying
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
Abstract: Markup Application is the name of the USGS National
Geospatial Technical Operations Center project that allows citizen
participation in volunteer map data collection activities for
hydrography datasets.
Proposed Revision
For this ICR revision, the USGS will no longer be collecting data
for the following: National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), Watershed
Boundary Dataset (WBD), and National Hydrography Dataset Plus High
Resolution (NHDPlus HR). We will transition to the 3D Hydrography
Program (3DHP).
The USGS manages the 3DHP. The USGS also offers technical support
and distributes authoritative hydrography data to the public as part of
The National Map.
Markup Application allows citizens to submit proposed changes and
corrections, called ``suggested edits,'' to the 3DHP. All submitted
suggested edits, along with the user email contact, are saved in a
dataset to be reviewed by USGS staff, or trusted stakeholders, for
allowable edits and for validation. USGS staff or trusted stakeholders
may contact the user submitting the suggested edit(s) via the recorded
email address if further clarification is needed. Validated suggested
edits go in a queue of edits to be incorporated into the 3DHP. The
edits are made by USGS editors using internal editing tools/methods. No
edits to the hydrography datasets take place within the Markup
Application.
Title of Collection: Markup Application.
OMB Control Number: 1028-0127.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals/households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 113.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,936.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: Between 3 and 18 minutes
depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: Between 96 and 580
hours depending on activity.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Occasional.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, nor is a person required to
respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Kimberly Mantey,
Director, National Geospatial Technical Operations Center, U.S.
Geological Survey.
