DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; NOAA Satellite Customer Questionnaire
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance 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 collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on July 25, 2024, during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
Title: NOAA Satellite Customer Questionnaire.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0227.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission [extension of a current
information collection].
Number of Respondents: 30.
Average Hours per Response: 6 minutes per response.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 3.
Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current
information collection.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates
a minimum of four meteorological satellite imagery transmission
systems, two from geostationary operational environmental (GOES)
satellites and two from Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) satellites.
In addition, a commercially broadcast data stream and legacy/backup/
standby polar-orbiting satellites continue to be operated as their
health permits. The data transmitted are available worldwide, and any
user can establish a ground receiving station for reception of the data
without the prior consent, notification, or other approval from NOAA.
With such an open access policy, it is currently not possible to have a
comprehensive understanding of the range and numbers of the data users
and application of the data received and/or used. The purpose of
collecting the information contained in the ``Questionnaire'' is to
satisfy the following objectives: (1) To comply with international
agreements such as the Department of Commerce (DOC)/NOAA's memorandum
of understanding (MOU) with the World Meteorological Organization
(WMO), so that NOAA can provide environmental satellite data and
processed satellite data products to the public domain, and (2) To
improve Government efficiencies of data dissemination using cost-saving
technologies to minimize the expenditure of personnel and financial
resources. The NOAA Policy on Partnerships in the Provision of
Environmental Information is also pertinent to this information
collection. This policy was developed to strengthen the partnership
among government, academia, and the private sector, which provides the
nation with high quality environmental information.
The collection of information from a respondent is initiated when
an individual contacts National Environmental Satellite, Data, and
Information Service (NESDIS) via letter, telephone, fax or email, or
when they visit a web page. If the nature of the contact indicates the
individual may operate a satellite receiving station for the
acquisition of NOAA satellite data or may use NOAA satellite data or
services, the individual is requested to complete an on-line electronic
questionnaire, which is found on a NOAA internet site. The
questionnaire is completed at the respondent's discretion. The
information received is used by NOAA for short-term operations and
long-term planning. Collection of this data assists in complying with
the terms of the MOU with the WMO, MOU with DOC, and NOAA on areas of
[[Page 86318]]
common interest and other international agreements.
Affected Public: Federal government, Not-for-profit institutions.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.
