SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Through acts such as the National 

Construction Safety Team Act (NCSTA) 

and the NIST Organic Act, among 

others, as well as the President’s 

Climate Action Plan (2013),a NIST 

conducts research and develops 

guidance and other related tools to 

promote and enhance the safety and 

well-being of people in the face of a 

hazard event. With this in mind, NIST 

proposes to conduct a number of data 

collection efforts within the topic areas 

of disaster and failure studies and 

community resilience and 

sustainability. This includes studies of 

specific disaster events (e.g., wildfire, 

urban fire, structure collapse, hurricane, 

earthquake, tornado, and flood events), 

assessments of community resilience 

and sustainability, and evaluations of 

the usability and utility of NIST 

guidance or other products. For 

example, one study may assess user 

perceptions and applications of the 

NIST ‘‘Community Resilience Planning 

Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure 

Systems’’ as well as adherence to 

building and fire codes and standards in 

community resilience planning. 

Another example may include the study 

of disaster impacts to community 

members due to a large-scale wildfire 

event. These data collection efforts may 

be either qualitative or quantitative in 

nature, or may consist of mixed 

methods. Additionally, data may be 

collected via a variety of means, 

including but not limited to electronic 

or social media, direct or indirect 

observation (i.e., in person, video and 

audio collections), interviews, 

questionnaires, and focus groups. NIST 

will limit its inquiries to data 

collections that solicit strictly voluntary 

opinions or responses. The results of the 

data collected will be used to decrease 

negative impacts of disasters on society, 

and, in turn, increase community 

resilience within the U.S. communities. 

Steps will be taken to ensure anonymity 

of respondents in each activity covered 

by this request. 

II. Method of Collection 

NIST will collect this information by 

electronic means when possible, as well 

as by mail, fax, telephone, technical 

discussions, and in-person interviews. 

NIST may also utilize observational 

techniques to collect this information. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: New 

collection. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; first responders; businesses 

or other for-profit organizations; not-forprofit institutions; State, local or tribal 

government; Federal government; 

Standards-making bodies; Universities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

5,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: Varied, 

dependent upon the data collection 

method used. The possible response 

time to complete a questionnaire may be 

15 minutes or 2 hours to participate in 

an interview. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 5,625 (1,250 to 10,000). 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, and 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents through the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.

The Hydrographic Services Review 

Panel (HSRP) is a Federal Advisory 

Committee established to advise the 

Under Secretary of Commerce for 

Oceans and Atmosphere, the NOAA 

Administrator, on matters related to the 

responsibilities and authorities set forth 

in section 303 of the Hydrographic 

Services Improvement Act of 1998, as 

amended, and such other appropriate

matters that the Under Secretary refers 

to the Panel for review and advice. The 

charter and other information are 

located online at http:// 

www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/ocs/hsrp/ 

CharterBylawsHSIAStatute.htm. 

Matters to Be Considered: The panel 

is convening to hear federal, state, 

regional and local partners and 

stakeholders on issues relevant to 

NOAA’s navigation services, 

particularly focusing on the Texas Gulf 

Coast area. Navigation services include 

the data, products, and services 

provided by the NOAA programs and 

activities that undertake geodetic 

observations, gravity modeling, 

shoreline mapping, bathymetric 

mapping, hydrographic surveying, 

nautical charting, tide and water level 

observations, current observations, and 

marine modeling. This suite of NOAA 

products and services support safe and 

efficient navigation, resilient coasts and 

communities, and the nationwide 

positioning information infrastructure to 

support America’s commerce. 

The Panel will hear from federal 

agencies and non-federal organizations 

about their missions and their use of 

NOAA’s navigation services; what value 

these services bring; and what 

improvements could be made. Other 

administrative matters may be 

considered. This agenda is subject to 

change.
