information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions on the

USGS, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

2. The accuracy of the USGS estimate

of the burden of the collection of

information, including the validity of

the methodology and assumptions used;

3. The quality, utility, and clarity of

the information to be collected; and

Title: National Atlas of the United

States of America.

Current OMB approval number: 1028–

0057.

Abstract: Potential customers of

electronic national atlas products will

be asked questions that provide (1)

potential uses of these products; (2) type

of personal computer used; (3) current

method of acquiring atlas-type

information; (4) demographic

information; and (5) personal

expectations from the products. Survey

questionnaires will be distributed by

mail in a return postage-paid format and

via the World Wide Web. Focus groups

will be held at various locations across

the United States and could include

prototype product testing. Software

usability studies will be conducted at

various locations and will result in the

development of products that are easier

to use. Customer information gathered

from the questionnaires, focus groups,

and usability studies will be used to

evaluate the National Atlas of the

United States products and to make

development adjustments based on

customer responses. The proposed

collection is limited in scope to the

National Atlas products and the

capability of the products to meet

customer needs. The USGS intends to

develop a cooperative research and

development agreement with private

industry to assist in product

development and to provide an

additional avenue for product

distribution.

Bureau form number: None.

Frequency: An estimated 2–3 surveys,

2–5 focus groups, and 2–5 software

usability studies per year to evaluate

potential customer segments and

reactions.

Description of respondents: Owners of

powerful home personal computers,

some with Internet access—potentially

the general public, libraries, and

schools.

Estimated completion time: Varies

depending on the mechanism used:

approximately 0.15 minutes per survey

and 1 hour per focus group session.

Annual responses: Approximately

1,000 survey, 75 focus group responses,

and 75 software usability responses.

Annual burden hours: 500.

Bureau clearance officer: John

Cordyack, 703–648–7313.
