Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; NOAA Geospatial Metadata 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on October 3, 

2024, during a 60-day comment period. 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comments.

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

tools. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0024. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission, 

revision and extension of a current 

information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 1,430. 

Average Hours per Response: 1.75. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,590. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

revision and extension of a currently 

approved information collection. The 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) collects, 

generates, retains, and redistributes 

geospatial metadata in a wide array of 

data formats covering diverse aspects of 

earth, biological, and space sciences. To 

fully understand and reuse these data 

over the course of many years, NOAA 

provides several metadata 

documentation tools for various 

communities of users to enable them to 

easily create complete, standards-based 

descriptive information about geospatial 

data. The following tools, in use or 

planned for use by NOAA program 

offices, are authorized to collect 

geospatial metadata consistent with 

Executive Order 12906, NOAA 

Administrative Order 212–15, and the 

2013 Office of Science and Technology 

Policy Memorandum ‘Public Access to 

Research Results’. Geospatial metadata 

collected by the listed tools are 

‘voluntary’ but the ability for data 

documented by relevant geospatial 

metadata is significantly degraded if 

metadata are incomplete, inaccurate or 

otherwise less than the information 

collection tool supports. 

National Environmental Satellite, 

Data and Information Service (NESDIS): 

Send2NCEI web application (currently 

approved as OMB Control Number: 

0648–0024). 

National Environmental Satellite, 

Data and Information Service: Advanced 

Tracking and Resource tool for Archive 

Collections (ATRAC) web application. 

National Environmental Satellite, 

Data and Information Service: 

Collection Metadata Editing Tool 

(CoMET) web application. 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS): InPort metadata authoring tool. 

Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Research (OAR): Science Data 

Information System (SDIS) metadata 

and data submission tool. 

Collecting geospatial metadata is 

necessary to fully understand, use, and 

reuse geospatial data since the metadata 

provides contextual information about 

data formats, bounding areas, use and 

access limitations (if any). Geospatial 

metadata from this information 

collection also supports multiple search 

and discovery catalog services, such as 

data.gov, NASA Global Change Master 

Directory (GCMD), and many others. 

Information will be collected from 

data producers (primarily university, 

private industry, and governmentfunded scientific researchers) in 

multiple fields of geosciences, biological 

and atmospheric sciences, and socioVerDate Sep<11>2014 17:40 Feb 03, 2025 Jkt 265001 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\04FEN1.SGM 04FEN1

economic sciences. Geospatial metadata 

typically includes descriptive 

information about specific observed, 

calculated, or modelled data (e.g., title, 

abstract, purpose statement, descriptive 

discovery keywords), characteristics of 

the described data (e.g., date and spatial 

range of data collection activities, data 

processing steps, collected/measured 

variables and units of measure for those 

variables) and administrative 

information (e.g., who collected or 

created data and metadata, how to cite 

data when used in scientific analyses). 

Information collected by the listed tools 

is used to inform the appropriate use of 

data described by related geospatial 

metadata. 

Two applications in the existing 

approved collection have had minor 

changes to their forms. The Send2NCEI 

application added a license selector. 

InPort has changed one of the fields 

from a text field to a drop-down list 

selector. These changes do not impact 

the response burden. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit 

institutions; State, Local, or Tribal 

government; Federal government. 

Frequency: As needed for geospatial 

data documentation purposes. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Executive Order 

12906 and the 2013 Office of Science 

and Technology Policy Memorandum 

‘Public Access to Research Results’.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3 

and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the Commission is 

publishing notice of the proposed 

extension of the existing collection of 

information listed below. An agency 

may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number.1

Title: Clearing Member Risk 

Management (OMB Control No. 3038– 

0094). This is a request for an extension 

of a currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Section 3(b) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘Act’’ or 

‘‘CEA’’) provides that one of the 

purposes of the Act is to ensure the 

financial integrity of all transactions 

subject to the Act and to avoid systemic 

risks. Section 8a(5) of the CEA 

authorizes the Commission to 

promulgate such regulations that it 

believes are reasonably necessary to 

effectuate any of the provisions or to 

accomplish any of the purposes of the 

CEA. Risk management systems are 

critical to the avoidance of systemic 

risks. 

Section 4d requires Futures 

Commission Merchants (‘‘FCMs’’) to 

register with the Commission. It further 

requires FCMs to segregate customer 

funds. Section 4f requires FCMs to 

maintain certain levels of capital. 

Section 4g establishes reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements for FCMs. 

Section 4s(j)(2) of the CEA requires each 

Swap Dealer (‘‘SD’’) and Major Swap 

Participant (‘‘MSP’’) to have risk 

management systems adequate for 

managing its day-to-day business. 

Section 4s(j)(4) requires each SD and 

MSP to have internal systems and 

procedures to obtain any necessary 

information to perform any of the 

functions set forth in Section 4s. 

Pursuant to these provisions, the 

Commission adopted Commission 

regulation 1.73 which applies to 

clearing members that are FCMs and 

Commission regulation 23.609 which 

applies to clearing members that are SDs
