Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit 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: Stormready®, Stormready/ 

TsunamireadyTM, and Stormready®

Supporter Application Forms. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0419. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(revision of a current information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 265. 

Average Hours per Response: 

StormReady, Tsunami-Ready and 

StormReady/TsunamiReady 

applications, 2 hours; StormReady 

Supporter applications, 1 hour. 

Burden Hours: 565. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

revision of a current information 

collection. The StormReady, 

TsunamiReady and and StormReady/ 

TsunamiReady Programs are voluntary 

programs offered to provide guidance 

and incentive to officials who wish to 

improve their hazardous weather 

operations, e.g. community 

preparedness and local warning 

dissemination. Applicants fill out a 

detailed application that demonstrates 

how they meet certain guidelines that 

qualify them for StormReady 

recognition. 

The full StormReady recognition is 

not appropriate for all entities, yet they 

should still be recognized for their 

efforts in preparing for hazardous 

weather. To this end, the National 

Weather Service has created the 

StormReady Supporter Program and is 

the revision to this information 

collection. StormReady Supporter is a 

voluntary program offered to provide 

guidance and incentive to entities, such 

as local hospitals or businesses, who 

wish to improve their respective 

hazardous weather preparations. 

Entities will use the application to 

apply for a one-time StormReady 

Supporter recognition. The government 

will use the application form to 

determine whether an entity has met the 

guidelines for a StormReady Supporter 

recognition. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: One time only. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
