This information collection supports
the requirements that the USGS ensures that the operation of the
Landsat system is responsive to the broad interests of the
civilian, national security, commercial, and foreign users of the
Landsat system. USGS is also required to ensure the continuity of
moderate-resolution data. The initial information collection
provided information about a diverse contingent of Landsat and
other moderate-resolution imagery users, but was not generalizable
to the entire population of users, and did not include new users
who may have begun using Landsat after it became available at no
cost. This collection has been revised to provide USGS with
information about a population of users for which they currently
have no existing data.
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
