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 USC Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Cooperative Charting Program.
    Agency Form Number(s): NOAA Form 77-4 and 77-5.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0022.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 45,000 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 3,000 (multiple responses).
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 3 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The National Ocean Service (NOS) produces the 
official nautical charts of the United States. Of prime concern is the 
safe navigation on our nation's waterways, of both commercial and 
recreational vessels. NOS has partnered with the United States Power 
Squadrons and the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary to request that 
their members provide chart correction data since both nature forces 
and the activities of man cause periodic changes. The information is 
used by NOS cartographers to maintain and prepare new editions of its 
charts.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions, individuals.
    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 19, 1998.
