SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The objective of this collection is to build better inventories of 
landslides through citizen participation. This project will make it 
possible for the public to report their observations of landslides on a 
USGS-hosted Web site. The information gathered through the on-line 
database will be used to classify the landslides and damage, as well as 
provide information to scientists about the location, time, speed, and 
size of the landslides. The USGS Landslide Hazards Program has 
developed an interactive Web site for public reporting of landslides.

II. Data

    OMB Control Number: 1028-0100.
    Form Number: http://landslides.usgs.gov/dysi/form.php.
    Title: Did you see it? Report a Landslide.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Respondent Obligation: None. Participation is voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion, after a landslide.
    Description of Respondents: General Public.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 2000.
    Estimated Time per Response: We estimate that it will take 5 
minutes per person to report landslide location, time, damage and

    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 167 hours.
    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-Hour Cost'' Burden: 
There are no ``non-hour cost'' burdens associated with this collection

    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 the OMB approves a collection 
of information, you are not obliged to respond.
    Comments: On August 26, 2014, we published a Federal Register 
notice (79 FR 50939) announcing that we would submit this ICR to OMB 
for approval and soliciting comments. The comment period closed on 
October 27, 2014. We received no comments.

III. Request for Comments

    We again invite comments concerning this ICR 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 comments submitted in response to this notice are 
a matter of public record. Before including your personal mailing 
address, phone number, email address, or other personally identifiable 
information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire 
comment, including your personally identifiable information, may be 
made publicly available at any time. While you can ask the OMB in your 
comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public 
review, we cannot guarantee that it will be done.
