SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This is a request for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric 

Administration’s Office of Atmospheric 

Research (OAR)/Weather Program Office 

is conducting this information 

collection pursuant to section 6(b) of 

Public Law 92–205. This law requires 

that all non-federal weather 

modification activities (e.g., cloud 

seeding) in the United States (U.S.) and 

its territories be reported to the 

Secretary of Commerce through NOAA. 

This reporting is critical for gauging the 

scope of these activities, for determining 

the possibility of duplicative operations 

or of interference with another project, 

for providing a database for checking 

atmospheric changes against the 

reported activities, and for providing a 

single source of information on the 

safety and environmental factors used in 

weather modification activities in the 

U.S. Two forms are collected under this 

OMB Control Number: one prior to and 

one after the activity. The requirements 

are detailed in 15 CFR part 908. This 

data is used for scientific research, 

historical statistics, international reports 

and other purposes. 

II. Method of Collection 

Respondents have a choice of either 

electronic or paper forms. Methods of 

submittal include email of electronic 

forms, mail and facsimile transmission 

of paper forms. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0025. 

Form Number(s): NOAA Forms 17–4 

and 17–4A. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Extension of a current information 

collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

50. 

Estimated Time per Response: 60 

minutes per initial report; 30 minutes 

per final report. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 75 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Public Law 92–205, 

Weather Modification Reporting Act of 

1972. 

IV. Request for Comments 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of our estimate of the time and 

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) Minimize the 

reporting burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email 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 may ask us in your comment
