What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Title: Data.gov Information Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 3090–0284. 

Abstract: Data.gov is inspired by the 

President’s program for ‘‘Open 

Government’’ and ‘‘Transparency’’. In 

response to the President’s direction to 

improve the transparency of 

government, the Federal Chief 

Information Officer (CIO) Council has 

created a Web site/portal that improves 

public access to a wide variety of U.S. 

Government data. Data.gov is a publicfriendly Web site that provides 

descriptions of the federal datasets, 

information on how to access the 

datasets, points of contact information, 

metadata information, and links to 

publicly accessible applications that 

leverage the datasets. This information 

collection request for a generic 

clearance is a replacement of the 

emergency ICR approved by OMB. It is 

being submitted in order to fulfill the 

public feedback aspects of this 

important initiative. Data.gov visitors 

will be provided opportunities to 

provide feedback and ratings in the 

spirit of the President’s open 

government and transparency initiative. 

Examples of feedback mechanisms are: 

(1) A five-star rating and text 

‘‘Comment on this Data’’ field to give 

visitors information about which 

datasets other visitors found most useful 

and interesting on the Data.gov 

webpage, 

(2) A ‘‘Suggest Other Datasets’’ entry 

page for the public to submit ideas for 

datasets with an optional contact e-mail 

address provided for those visitors 

wishing to identify themselves, 

(3) A field for visitors to rank datasets 

suggested by other visitors at an 

estimated annual burden of 17 hours, 

(4) A ‘‘Contact Us’’ entry page with an 

optional contact e-mail address for those 

visitors wishing to identify themselves, 

(5) A Collaborative Work 

Environment using wiki web pages and 

e-mail discussion forum, 

(6) Pages for visitors to advise how 

they leverage the datasets in new and 

different ways to build applications, 

conduct analysis, and perform research, 

(7) Pages for visitors to rate the benefit 

of the reported new solutions, etc. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average up to 400 hours per 

year. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The estimated annual burden request 

is summarized here: 

Affected entities: Visitors to Data.gov. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 16,200. 

Estimated total number of potential 

responses: 16,200. 

Frequency of response: Occasionally. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

400 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: No cost 

to the public; no additional government 

resources. 

What Is the Next Step in the Process for 

This ICR? 

GSA did not receive comments to its 

first Federal Register notice 74 FR 

29211–29212, June 19, 2009. The final 

ICR package is being submitted to OMB 

for review and approval pursuant to 5 

CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv). The purpose of 

this Federal Register notice is to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and to provide the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. If 

you have any questions about this ICR 

or the approval process, please contact 

the person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.
