Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Comment Request 

AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of a revision of a 

currently approved information 

collection (1028–0106). 

SUMMARY: We (the U.S. Geological 

Survey) will ask the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve the information collection (IC) 

described below. As required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 

1995, and as part of our continuing 

efforts to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, we invite the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on this IC. This collection is 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2016. 

DATES: To ensure that your comments 

are considered, we must receive them 

on or before April 12, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on this information collection to the 

Information Collection Clearance 

Officer, U.S. Geological Survey, 12201

1028–0106, Ash Fall Report’ in the 

subject line.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The USGS provides notifications and 

warnings to the public of volcanic 

activity in the US in order to reduce the 

loss of life, property, and economic and 

societal impacts. Ash fallout to the 

ground can pose significant disruption 

and damage to buildings, transportation, 

water and wastewater, power supply, 

communications equipment, 

agriculture, and primary production 

leading to potentially substantial 

societal impacts and costs, even at 

thicknesses of only a few millimeters or 

inches. Additionally, fine grainedash, 

when ingested can cause health impacts 

to humans and animals. USGS will use 

reports entered in real time by 

respondents of ash fall in their local 

area to correct or refine ash fall forecasts 

as the ash cloud moves downwind. 

Retrospectively these reports will enable 

USGS to improve their ash fall models 

and further research into eruptive 

processes. This project is a database 

module and web interface allowing the 

public and Alaska Volcano Observatory 

(AVO) staff to enter reports of ash fall 

in their local area in real time and 

retrospectively following an eruptive 

event. Users browsing the AVO Web site 

during eruptions will be directed 

towards a web form allowing them to 

fill in ash fall information and submit 

the information to AVO. 

Compiled ashfall reports are available 

in real-time to AVO staff through the 

AVO internal Web site. A pre-formatted 

summary report or table that distills 

information received online will show 

ash fall reports in chronological order 

with key fields including (1) date and 

time of ash fall, (2) location, (3) positive 

or negative ash fall (4) name of observer, 

and (5) contact information is easily 

viewable internally on the report so that 

calls for clarification can be made by 

AVO staff quickly and Operations room 

staff can visualize ashfall information 

quickly. 

Ash fall report data will also be 

displayed on a dynamic map interface 

and show positive (yes ash) and 


asabaliauskas on DSK9F6TC42PROD with NOTICES2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 29 / Friday, February 12, 2016 / Notices 7583 

negative (no ash) ash fall reports by 

location. Ash fall reports (icons) will be 

publically displayed for a period of 24 

hours and shaded differently as they age 

so that the age of reports is obvious. 

The ash fall report database will help 

AVO track eruption clouds and 

associated fallout downwind. These 

reports from the public will also give 

scientists a more complete record of the 

amount and duration and other 

conditions of ash fall. Getting first-hand 

accounts of ash fall will support model 

ash fall development and interpretation 

of satellite imagery. AVO scientists 

will—as time allows—be able to contact 

the individuals using their entered 

contact information for clarification and 

details. Knowing the locations from 

which ash-fall reports have been filed 

will improve ash fall warning messages, 

AVO Volcanic Activity Notifications, 

and make fieldwork more efficient. AVO 

staff will be able to condense and 

summarize the various ash fall reports 

and forward that information on to 

emergency management agencies and 

the wider public. The online form will 

also free up resources during 

exceedingly busy times during an 

eruption, as most individuals currently 

phone AVO with their reports. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: 1028–0106. 

Form Number: NA.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion, 

after each ashfall event. 

Estimated Total Number of Annual 

Responses: Approximately 250 

individuals affected by a volcanic 

ashfall event each year.

number and current expiration date. 

III. Request for Comments 

We are soliciting comments as to: (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) how to enhance the 

quality, usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) how 

to minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Please note that the comments 

submitted 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 IC. 

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 OMB in your 

comment to withhold your personal 

identifying information from public 

review, we cannot guarantee that it will 

be done.
