collection. 

SUMMARY: To comply with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), we are notifying the public that 

we have submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) a new 

information collection request (ICR) for 

approval of the paperwork requirements 

for the National Cooperative Geologic 

Mapping Program (NCGMP). The 

NCGMP has two components: 

educational (EDMAP) and State 

(STATEMAP). This notice provides the 

public an opportunity to comment on 

the paperwork burden of the application 

requirements discussed below. 

DATES: You must submit comments on 

or before May 21, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Please submit comments on 

this information collection directly to 

the Office of Management and Budget, 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Attention: Desk Officer for the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The primary objective of the EDMAP 

component of the NCGMP is to train the 

next generation of geologic mappers. To 

do this, NCGMP provides funds for 

graduate and selected undergraduate 

students in academic research projects 

that involve geologic mapping as a 

major component. Through these 

cooperative agreements, NCGMP hopes 

to expand the research and educational 

capacity of academic programs that 

teach earth science students the 

techniques of geologic mapping and 

field data analysis. We will accept only 

one proposal from an individual 

principal investigator (professor or 

faculty advisor), although we will 

accept more than one proposal from a 

single university if authored by different 

principal investigators. Although 

EDMAP awards support student 

mapping in the field, the student’s 

faculty advisor must write the proposal. 

All applications must be submitted 

through Grants.gov. 

The primary objective of the 

STATEMAP component of the NCGMP 

is to establish the geologic framework of 

areas determined to be vital to the 

economic, social, or scientific welfare of 

individual States. The State geologist 

determines mapping priorities in 

consultation with a multirepresentational State Mapping 

Advisory Committee. We will accept 

only one proposal from each State each 

fiscal year. Proposals may contain a 

number of geologic mapping projects 

and may include one compilation or 

digitization project, or all projects may 

be for new mapping if the State chooses. 

All applications must be submitted 

through Grants.gov. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: None. This is 

a new collection. 

Title: National Cooperative Geologic 

Mapping Program (EDMAP and 

STATEMAP). 

Respondent Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: 101. U.S. accredited 

university geoscience or related 

departments are eligible for EDMAP 

funds. University professors must write 

and submit the proposals. Only State 

Geological Surveys are eligible to apply 

for the STATEMAP component. Since 

many State Geological Surveys are 

organized under a State university 

system, such universities may submit a 

proposal on behalf of the State 

Geological Survey. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 101. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 2,020. 

We expect to receive 55 applications for 

EDMAP and 46 for STATEMAP, each 

taking 20 hours to complete. This 

includes the time for project conception 

and development, proposal writing and 

reviewing, and submitting a project 

narrative through Grants.gov. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ 

Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’ 

burdens associated with this collection 

of information. 

III. Request for Comments 

On April 22, 2008, we published a 

Federal Register notice (73 FR 21646) 

soliciting comments on the STATEMAP 

component. The comment period closed 

on June 23, 2008. On August 26, 2008,

1For purposes of these investigations, the 

Department of Commerce has defined the subject 

merchandise as ‘‘shelving and racks for 

refrigerators, freezers, combined refrigeratorfreezers, other refrigerating or freezing equipment, 

cooking stoves, ranges, and ovens (‘‘certain kitchen 

appliance shelving and racks’’ or ‘‘the merchandise 

under investigation’’). Certain kitchen appliance 

shelving and racks are defined as shelving, baskets, 

racks (with or without extension slides, which are 

carbon or stainless steel hardware devices that are 

connected to shelving, baskets, or racks to enable 

sliding), side racks (which are welded wire support 

structures for oven racks that attach to the interior 

walls of an oven cavity that does not include 

support ribs as a design feature), and subframes 

(which are welded wire support structures that 

interface with formed support ribs inside an oven 

cavity to support oven rack assemblies utilizing 

extension slides) with the following dimensions: 

—Shelving and racks with dimensions ranging 

from 3 inches by 5 inches by 0.10 inch to 28 inches 

by 34 inches by 6 inches; or 

—Baskets with dimensions ranging from 2 inches 

by 4 inches by 3 inches to 28 inches by 34 inches 

by 16 inches; or 

—Side racks from 6 inches by 8 inches by 0.1 

inch to 16 inches by 30 inches by 4 inches; or 

—Subframes from 6 inches by 10 inches by 0.1 

inch to 28 inches by 34 inches by 6 inches. 

The merchandise under investigation is 

comprised of carbon or stainless steel wire ranging 

in thickness from 0.050 inch to 0.500 inch and may 

include sheet metal of either carbon or stainless 

steel ranging in thickness from 0.020 inch to 0.2 

inch. The merchandise under investigation may be 

coated or uncoated and may be formed and/or 

welded. Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation is shelving in which the support 

surface is glass. The merchandise subject to this 

investigation is currently classifiable in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) statistical reporting numbers 

8418.99.8050, 8418.99.8060, 7321.90.5000, 

7321.90.6090, and 8516.90.8000. Although the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written description of 

the scope of this investigation is dispositive.’’ 

we published a Federal Register notice 

(73 FR 50341) soliciting comments on 

the EDMAP component. The comment 

period for this notice closed on October 

27, 2008. We did not receive any 

comments in response to these notices. 

We again invite comments concerning 

this ICR 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. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. Before including your 

address, phone number, e-mail address 

or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, you 

should be aware that your entire

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
