the public or for limited inspection.’’

Contact information for individual 

reporters is collected, but only for 

purposes of quality control/quality 

assurance questions regarding the 

report. Responses are voluntary. We 

intend to release data collected on the 

National Biological Information 

Infrastructure Web site http:// 

www.nbii.gov, but all personal data 

about the reporter—name, address, 

phone number, and/or e-mail address—

are removed from the publicly 

accessible database. The database 

complies with all Department of the 

Interior requirements and policies for 

security and data integrity. 

Frequency: The frequency is once, 

unless the reporter voluntarily submits 

more than one observation. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: Approximately 50–100 

public citizens annually. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: The 

currently approved ‘‘hour’’ burden for 

the NARCAM data collection form is 

150 hours. We estimate the public 

reporting burden averages 30 minutes 

per response. This includes the time for 

reviewing instructions, and completing 

and reviewing the information. Because 

many individuals submit more than one 

malformation report during a single 

online session, some respondents will 

exceed the average of 30 minutes per 

reporting session. The approved ‘‘hour’’

burden of 150 hours is calculated based 

upon the total number of average annual 

malformation reports, and not the 

average number of citizens submitting a 

report. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’

Burden: We have identified no ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burden associated with the 

NARCAM form. 

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. Until OMB approves a 

collection of information, you are not 

obligated to respond. 

Comments; Before submitting an ICR 

to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) 

requires each agency ‘‘* * * to provide 

notice * * * and otherwise consult 

with members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information * * *’’. 

Agencies must specifically solicit 

comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to perform its 

duties, including whether the 

information is useful; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (c) enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Agencies must also estimate the ‘‘nonhour cost’’ burdens to respondents or 

recordkeepers resulting from the 

collection of information. Therefore, if 

you have costs to generate, maintain, 

and disclose this information, you 

should comment and provide your total 

capital and startup cost components or 

annual operation, maintenance, and 

purchase of service components. You 

should describe the methods you use to 

estimate major cost factors, including 

system and technology acquisition, 

expected useful life of capital 

equipment, discount rate(s), and the 

period over which you incur costs. 

Capital and startup costs include, 

among other items, computers and 

software you purchase to prepare for 

collecting information, monitoring, and 

record storage facilities. You should not 

include estimates for equipment or 

services purchased: (i) Before October 1, 

1995; (ii) to comply with requirements 

not associated with the information 

collection; (iii) for reasons other than to 

provide information or keep records for 

the Government; or (iv) as part of 

customary and usual business or private 

practices. 

We will summarize written responses 

to this notice and address them in our 

submission for OMB approval. As a 

result of your comments, we will make 

any necessary adjustments to the burden 

in our submission to OMB. 

Public Comment Policy: 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 us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
