the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand our 

information collection requirements and 

provide the requested data in the 

desired format. 

We are especially interested in public 

comment addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How the agency might minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response.

Abstract: The USGS is authorized 

under SECURE Water Act section 9508 

to assist State and Territory waterresource agencies with improving their 

water-use data collection activities. The 

USGS has implemented the Water Use 

Data and Research program (WUDR) to 

work with State and Territory water 

agencies to gather and analyze their data 

and to assist this effort via cooperative 

agreements. WUDR will work to 

improve the collection and reporting of 

water-use categories by State and 

Territory agencies, including categories 

of water use that were previously 

discontinued due to limited resources. 

This collection will be used in reports 

to Congress on water resources in the 

Nation. Program authorization is 

$1,500,000 per year. 

Cooperative agreements will be 

announced and awarded as part of an 

annual competitive process that will be 

guided by a technical committee of 

USGS employees and stakeholder-group 

representatives. WUDR funds will be 

coordinated through a single agency in 

each State or Territory. 

As part of the ongoing efforts to 

improve the collection and sharing of 

water-use data, a nationwide datasharing feasibility study of State and 

Territory agencies that provide wateruse information to the USGS will also 

be conducted. This study will 

investigate the water-use data 

availability and identify barriers that 

may prevent State and Territory 

agencies from sharing water-use data, 

especially site-specific water-use data. 

Example feasibility-study questions 

include: (1) whether water use location 

data (latitude, longitude, etc.) is 

available to the public, and if so, the 

format of availability to the public 

(website, publication, accessible paper 

files, etc.); (2) ability/willingness to 

share the water-use data with other 

agencies, such as the USGS, and any 

restrictions on sharing data (such as 

location and/or water quantity); (3) if 

information on quantities of water used, 

such as withdrawals, wastewater return, 

and sales/deliveries between users, is 

available to the public, and if so, the 

restrictions on water-quantity data such 

as categories of use or time intervals. 

Collaboration and coordination with 

USGS personnel will be required as part 

of the WUDR program. Data must be 

stored electronically and made available 

in machine-readable formats that can be 

incorporated into USGS databases. 

Additionally, methods used for data 

collection (estimated values, 

coefficients, etc.) and a description of 

data quality assurance and control must 

be provided to the USGS. 

Title of Collection: USGS Water Use 

Data and Research Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1028–0118. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State 

and Territory water-resource agencies 

that collect water-use data. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: WUDR estimates that 30 

respondents (States and/or Territories) 

will read the program announcement, 

12 respondents will prepare and submit 

applications, 10 respondents (States 

and/or Territories) will submit semiannual (two reports per year) progress 

reports and a final technical report, and 

90 respondents (States and/or 

Territories) will respond to the water 

use data sharing feasibility study. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 30 respondents reading the 

program announcement; 12 

applications; 20 progress reports, 10 

final technical reports, 90 respondents 

to water use data sharing feasibility 

study. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: Read Program announcement: 

1 hour; prepare applications: 40 hours; 

progress reports: 4 hours; final technical 

report: 24 hours; water use data sharing 

feasibility study: 1.5 hours. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 965 hours. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

be eligible to receive funding and 

voluntary to respond to water-use datasharing feasibility study. 

Frequency of Collection: Program 

Announcements are published 

annually. Proposals are submitted 

annually by State and Territory waterresource agencies wishing to compete 

for funding offered through the annual 

program announcement. State and 

Territory water-resource agencies that 

receive a cooperative agreement must 

submit semi-annual progress reports 

and a final technical report. State and 

Territory water-resource agencies that 

respond to the water-use data sharing 

feasibility study will only need to 

respond once to provide potential 

clarification to questions on their study 

responses.
