SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Cooperative Geologic 

Mapping Program (NCGMP–EDMAP 

and STATEMAP). 

OMB Control Number: 1028–0088. 

Abstract: EDMAP is the educational 

component of the NCGMP that is 

intended to train the next generation of 

geologic mappers. The NCGMP allocates 

funds to colleges and universities in the 

United States and Puerto Rico through 

an annual competitive cooperative 

agreement process. Every federal dollar 

that is awarded is matched with 

university funds. Geology professors, 

who are skilled in geologic mapping, 

request EDMAP funding to support 

undergraduate and graduate students at 

their college or university in a one-year 

mentored geologic mapping project that 

focuses on a specific geographic area. 

Each fall, the program announcement is 

posted to the Grants.gov Web site and 

respondents are required to submit 

applications (comprising of Standard 

Form 424, 424A, 424B, a Negotiated 

Rate Agreement, a Support letter from 

State Geologist or USGS Project Chief, 

an EDMAP Proposal Summary Sheet, 

the Proposal, and Budget Sheets) using 

Grants.gov. 

Since 1996, more than $5 million 

from the NCGMP have supported 

geologic mapping efforts of more than 

1,000 students working with more than 

244 professors at 148 universities in 44 

states, the District of Columbia, and 

Puerto Rico. Funds for graduate projects 

are limited to $17,500 and 

undergraduate project funds limited to 

$10,000. These funds are used to cover 

field expenses and student salaries, but 

not faculty salaries. The authority for 

the program is listed in the National 

Geologic Mapping Act (Pub. L. 106– 

148). 

We will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(5 U.S.C. 552) and it’s 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. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary 

(necessary to receive funding). 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: Approximately 50 

University/College Professors or faculty 

advisors annually. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,640 hours. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: We 

expect to receive approximately 50 

applications each year which takes each 

applicant approximately 20 hours to 

complete, totaling 1,000 hours. This 

includes the time for project conception 

and development, proposal writing and 

reviewing, and submitting a project 

narrative through Grants.gov. We expect 

to issue 40 grants per year. The grant 

recipients are also required to submit a 

final technical report which takes each 

grant recipient approximately 16 hours 

to complete, totaling 640 hours. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’: We 

have not identified any ‘‘non-hour cost’’ 

burdens associated with this collection 

of information. 

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

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

agency may not conduct or sponsor and

you are not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Comments: We invite comments 

concerning this IC on: (a) Whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to perform its 

duties, including whether the 

information is useful; (b) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed collection of information; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Please note that any comments 

submitted in response to this notice are 

a matter of public record. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address or other personal 

identifying information in your

your entire comment including your

identifying information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee that will be 

done.
