SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: The Societal Value of Moderate 

Resolution Satellite Imagery. 

OMB Control Number: 1028–new. 

Abstract: 

USGS Geography investigates some of 

the most pressing natural resource and 

environmental issues of our Nation. 

Observing the Earth with remote sensing 

satellites, the USGS monitors and 

analyzes changes on the land, studies 

connections between people and the 

land, and provides society with relevant 

science information to inform public 

decisions. The USGS’s Land Remote 

Sensing (LRS) Program has initiated a 

study on the benefits of Landsat 

imagery. The last comprehensive 

evaluations of the costs of moderate 

resolution satellite imagery (such as 

Landsat) were completed over 30 years 

ago. This study will attempt to 

understand the current uses and 

benefits of the Landsat program. This 

collection is important because it will 

provide information that the USGS LRS 

Program needs to better formulate the 

Program’s new strategic plan. 

The information collection process 

will be conducted by scientists and staff 

in the Policy Analysis and Science 

Assistance Branch (PASA) of the USGS. 

The information collection will be 

conducted online. The electronic 

collection will use Dilman’s TDM 

method for Internet Surveys. 

We will protect information from 

respondents considered proprietary 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing 

regulations (43 CFR Part 2), and under 

regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data 

and information to be made available to 

the public or for limited inspection.’’

Responses are voluntary. No questions 

of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. 

Frequency of Collection: One time 

only. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Estimated Number and Description of 

Respondents: 2500 state and local land 

management officials, scientists, and 

geographic researchers. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 2500 

responses. 

Annual Burden Hours: 750 hours. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: We 

estimate the public reporting burden 

will average 18 minutes per response. 

This includes the time for reviewing 

instructions and completing an online 

survey. 

Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’: We 

have not identified any ‘‘non-hour cost’’

burdens associated with this collection 

of information. 

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor and 

you are not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. Until OMB approves a 

collection of information, you are not 

obligated to respond. 

Comments: Before submitting an ICR 

to OMB, PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44 

U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) requires each 

agency ‘‘* * * to provide notice * * * 

and otherwise consult with members of 

the public and affected agencies 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information * * *’’ Agencies must 

specifically solicit comments. We invite 

comments concerning this information 

collection on: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary, including 

whether or not the information will 

have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on 

respondents. 

Please note that the comments 

submitted 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 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. To comply with the public 

process, we publish this Federal 

Register notice announcing that we will 

submit this ICR to OMB for approval. 

The notice provided the required 60-day 

public comment period.
