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, (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all information collections require
approval under the PRA.
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 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 using 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 PII from public review,
we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: This 60-day notice is a renewal, with revisions, for the
Hydrography Addressing Tool (HydroAdd), a website developed by the USGS
National Geospatial Program, National Geospatial Technical Operations
Center (NGTOC).
HydroAdd supports users by providing a mechanism for addressing (or
referencing) diverse external datasets to the National Hydrography
Dataset (NHD). For example, a user can utilize HydroAdd to reference
the geographic locations of field observations of fish presence to the
NHD. HydroAdd provides a framework for the management of addressed data
and enables upstream and downstream analyses within the context of the
stream network. Any type of information can be addressed to the stream
network, making this tool highly useful for a broad range of purposes
that benefit the Nation.
HydroAdd users are members of the public in State and local
government, the private sector, academia, or are other users with basic
knowledge of GIS. To use HydroAdd, users must first share their
geospatial data as a hosted web feature service from ArcGIS Online.
HydroAdd displays the user's data as a web feature service in the
browser window. Users can then utilize HydroAdd to address their data
to the
[[Page 79946]]
NHD. Note that HydroAdd does not allow users to edit the NHD. Users are
strictly limited to editing their own data.
Users must register at the HydroAdd website. When registering,
users are required to fill out a profile with a username and email
contact. This information is stored in the application database.
Revisions to HydroAdd are currently in development. These revisions
include (a) allowing HydroAdd to use the latest hydrography product
from the USGS 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP), (b) implementing an open-
source hosting service for user data (GeoServer), rather than ArcGIS
Online, (c) updating some of the underlying logic to speed GIS
processing, and (d) updating the name of the tool to HydroAdd3d.
