SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Landslides are a serious but little 

understood hazard in the U.S., causing 

more than $3 billion in damages and 25 

deaths per year. The objective of this 

collection is to educate Americans about 

landslide hazards and to build better 

inventories of landslides through citizen 

participation. This project will make it 

possible for the public to report their 

observations of landslides on a Web site. 

The information gathered through the 

on-line database will be used to classify 

the landslides and damage, as well as 

provide information to scientists about 

the location, time, speed, and size of the 

landslides. The USGS Landslide 

Hazards Program is developing an 

interactive Web site for public reporting 

of landslides that is patterned after the 

USGS Earthquake Program’s successful 

‘‘Did you feel it?’’ Web site for collecting 

reports of felt earthquakes. A Pilot 

Project will be conducted in the United 

States. The USGS may use the 

information to provide qualitative, 

quantitative, or graphical descriptions of 

landslide damage. We will protect 

information from respondents 

considered proprietary under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552) and implementing regulations (43 

CFR part 2), and under regulations at 30 

CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data and information to 

be made available to the public or for 

limited inspection.’’ Responses are 

voluntary. No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’ 

nature are asked. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: None. This is 

a new collection. 

Title: USGS Landslide Report. 

Type of Request: New. 

Affected Public: General public. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion, 

after a landslide. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 2,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 200. 

III. Request for Comments 

We invite comments concerning this 

IC on: (1) Whether or not the collection 

of information is necessary, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

our estimate of the burden for this 

collection of information; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents. Please note that the 

comments submitted in response to this 

notice are a matter of public record. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment, including your 

personal identifying information, may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask OMB in your 

comment to withhold your personal 

identifying information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee that it will 

be done. To comply with the public 

process, we hereby publish this Federal 

Register notice announcing that we will 

submit this IC to OMB for approval. The 

notice provides the required 60-day 

public comment period.
