Paperwork Reduction Act Guidance
Policies and Procedures Regarding Use of the NOAA Space-Based Data Collection
Systems (15 CFR 911) explains the system use policy for using the Argos DCS to ensure
that the Government will not allow its space-based data collection systems to be used
where there are commercial space-based services available that fulfill users’
requirements. The regulation contains the minimum information requirements necessary
to determine if a user meets these criteria and is thereby granted use of the Argos DCS.
In accordance with the regulation, responses to the collection of information are
mandatory to conclude agreements for use of the NOAA DCS.
A standard part of the system use agreement with accepted applicants is that the user
must provide free and open access to the data by U.S. Government agencies. No
confidentiality is promised or provided.
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 60
minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing
data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing
the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this
burden, to Direct Service Division (E/SP3), Room 3320, FB-4, NOAA, 5200 Auth Road,
Suitland, MD, 20746-4304.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor
shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with a collection of
information, subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that
collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number.
