Failure to maintain the universe of

deficient samples and inaccurate 

statistics. This in turn jeopardizes the 

accuracy of the above mentioned 

economic indicators. These indicators 

are closely monitored by the Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: STORMREADY®, 

STORMREADY/TSUNAMIREADYTM,

AND STORMREADY® SUPPORTER 

Application Forms 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0419. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 265. 

Average Hours Per Response: Initial 

applications, 2 hours; renewal 

applications, 1 hour. 

Burden Hours: 505. 

Needs and Uses: StormReady and 

TsunamiReady are voluntary programs 

offered as a means of providing 

guidance and incentive to officials 

interested in improving their respective 

hazardous weather operations. The 

StormReady Application Form, 

Tsunami-Ready Application Form and 

TsunamiReady/StormReady Application 

Form are used by localities to apply for 

initial StormReady or TsunamiReady 

and StormReady recognition and 

renewal of that recognition every six 

years. The government will use the 

information collected to determine 

whether a community has met all of the 

criteria to receive StormReady and/or 

TsunamiReady recognition. In addition, 

businesses, schools, non-profit 

organizations and other nongovernmental entities often establish 

severe weather safety plans and actively 

promote severe weather safety 

awareness activities but may not have 

the resources necessary to fulfill all the 

eligibility requirements to achieve the 

full StormReady recognition. These 

entities may apply through the 

StormReady Supporter program for 

recognition. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; not for profit 

institutions; state, local or tribal 

governments. 

Frequency: One time or every six 

years.

Sciences (PSSC). The purpose of the 

workshop is to solicit input from 

stakeholders about the broader needs of 

the industrial community in the area of 

quantum information science (QIS). 

Topics to be discussed include 

opportunities for research and 

development, emerging market areas, 

barriers to near-term and future 

applications, and workforce needs. 

Information gathered at this workshop 

will be used in the development and 

coordination of U. S. Government 

policies, programs, and budgets to 

advance U.S. competitiveness in QIS. 

DATES: The Workshop on Quantum 

Information Science and the Needs of 

Industry will be held on Friday, April 

10, 2015 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern 

Time. Attendees must register by 5:00 

p.m. Eastern Time on April 3, 2015.
