public and other Federal agencies with 

an opportunity to comment on new, 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand our 

information collection requirements and 

provide the requested data in the 

desired format. 

A Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day public comment period soliciting 

comments on this collection of 

information was published on December 

11, 2020. (85 FR 80137). No comments 

were received. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we are again soliciting 

comments from the public and other 

Federal agencies on the proposed ICR 

that is described below. We are 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How might the agency minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit 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 comment, you 

should be aware that your entire 

comment—including your personal 

identifying information—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you can ask us in your comment to 

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Abstract. The Hydrography 

Maintenance Portal (HMP) is a website 

used by trained editors to access data 

from the USGS National Hydrography 

Dataset (NHD) or Watershed Boundary 

Dataset (WBD) national databases for the 

purpose of editing the data to update, 

correct, or otherwise improve it. HMP is 

used by federal employees of the USGS 

National Geospatial Program (NGP) and 

state partners with which USGS has a 

signed Stewardship Program 

Memorandums of Understanding 

(MOU). USGS employees use the HMP 

as their primary means of accessing 

NHD and WBD for data management. 

State partners use the HMP to check out 

areas of the NHD and/or WBD to 

perform edits and updates to the data 

using their specialized, local knowledge 

of the streams in their areas. These data 

contributions are very important to 

maintaining the datasets as A–16 

National Geospatial Data Assets, as well 

as helping to prevent duplication of data 

by supporting editing of one primary 

dataset by many. 

Using HMP, NHD or WBD data is 

‘‘checked out’’ from a national database 

for a select area. No other editor can 

check out the data for an area when the 

data is already checked out. The HMP 

is not used to directly edit or submit 

(‘‘check in’’) data to the national 

database. Data checked out with HMP 

must be edited with USGS hydrography 

editing tools, such as the WBD Edit Tool 

or the NHD Update Tool. To check in 

data, editors must use the USGS 

hydrography editing tools. 

Registered users are assigned check 

out permissions by the HMP 

administrators. HMP administrators are 

a limited group of the USGS NHD/WBD 

Partner Support Team. HMP user 

accounts are necessary because they 

allow HMP administrators to provide 

assistance if needed, to coordinate 

production needs, and enable tracking 

on the editing history for the datasets 

through reporting. 

HMP has reporting functions to 

generate production statistics. These 

reports detail active and previous 

checkout histories within specified date 

ranges. The business contact 

information of the users who checked 

out the data are visible on these reports. 

Any registered user can generate reports 

with HMP. 

HMP reports are frequently used to 

coordinate essential production needs 

between states, or between USGS staff 

and state partners. The reports allow 

USGS staff to contact partners if there is 

a problem with their data or allow 

partners to contact partners in others 

states to confirm if editing work is 

planned or occurring in an adjacent 

watershed.
