DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce (DOC) has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Satellite Ground Station Customer Questionnaire.
    Agency Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0227.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 50 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 10 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 
(NOAA) operates four meteorological satellite imagery transmissions 
systems. The data transmitted are available worldwide, and any user can 
establish a ground receiving station for reception of the data without 
the prior consent or other approval from NOAA. NOAA, however, requests 
users to complete a short questionnaire which is available over 
Internet. When a user contacts NOAA directly, they are also sent a form 
to complete. The information provided helps NOAA with a ``user'' list 
so that they can provide better service, keep satellite users informed 
of changes, and assists NOAA with short-term operations and long-term 
planning.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions, businesses or other 
for-profit organizations, individuals, farms, federal government, 
state, local or tribal government.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Linda Engelmeier, DOC Forms Clearance Officer, 
(202) 482-3272, Department of Commerce, Room 5327, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10202, New Executive Office 
Building, 725 17th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: August 13, 1998.
Linda Engelmeier,
Departmental Forms Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information 
Officer.
