Abstract: The National Land Remote 

Sensing Education, Outreach and 

Research Activity (NLRSEORA) is an 

effort that involves the development of 

a U.S. national consortium in building 

the capability to receive, process and 

archive remotely sensed data for the 

purpose of providing access to 

university and state organizations in a 

ready-to-use format; and to expand the 

science of remote sensing through 

education, research/applications 

development and outreach in areas such 

as environmental monitoring to include 

the effects of climate variability on 

water availability (or lack thereof) and 

phenology, natural resource 

management and disaster analysis. 

Respondents are submitting proposals to 

acquire funding for a national (U.S.) 

program to promote the uses of spacebased land remote sensing data and 

technologies through education and 

outreach at the state and local level and 

through university-based and 

collaborative research projects. The 

information collected will ensure that 

sufficient and relevant information is 

available to evaluate and select a 

proposal for funding. A panel of USGS 

Land Resources Mission Area managers 

and scientists will review each proposal 

to evaluate the technical merit, 

requirements, and priorities identified 

in the call for proposals. 

This notice concerns the collection of 

information that is sufficient and 

relevant to evaluate and select proposals 

for funding. We will protect information 

from respondents considered 

proprietary under the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its 

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. We intend to release 

the project abstracts and primary 

investigators for awarded/funded 

projects only.
