SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995,
the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is proposing to renew an information
collection with revisions.

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 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 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
April 11, 2024, (89 FR 25646). 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 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: 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 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: 115.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,087.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: Between 3 minutes for
markup creation (1972 responses = 99 hours) and 18 minutes for user
login and lessons reviewed (115 responses = 35 hours) depending on
activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 134 hours.
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.).
Hannah Boggs,
Acting Director, National Geospatial Technical Operations Center, U.S.
Geological Survey.
