The Data.gov website is inspired by
the Presidents program for Open Government and Transparency.
Data.gov is a public friendly website that provides descriptions of
the federal datasets, information on how to access the datasets,
points of contact information, metadata information, and links to
publicly accessible applications that leverage the datasets. This
emergency information collection request is being submitted to
fulfill the public engagement and feedback aspects of Data.gov when
it is initially launched around the third week of May.
The administration began
this endeavor in late February 2009 and has established a timeline
for the delivery of Data.gov by May 21, 2009. The emergency
information collection request is required to meet the
administrations timeline of the initial launch of the Data.gov
website May 21, 2009. As the launch of the website is phased,
additional feedback mechanisms will be deployed. Therefore, a
generic ICR will be submitted to Office of Management and Budget to
replace this emergency ICR before it expires.
This emergency information
collection request is being submitted in order to fulfill the
public engagement and feedback aspects of Data.gov to enable the
public to provide information feedback and ratings in the spirit of
the Presidents open government and transparency agenda. This
emergency information collection request will enable these
capabilities to be included on Data.gov when it initially launches
around the third week of May.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
