participant agreement/informed consent
form) will be stored securely in a locked
cabinet that can only be accessed by
authorized individuals working on the
data. The locked cabinet will be stored
in a locked office in a limited-access
building, (e.g. Study team interviewers

demonstration, records should retire to
Federal Records Center 3 years after
satisfactory close of project that volume

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Institutes for Water
Resources (NIWR) USGS Competitive
Grant Program.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0095.
Abstract: The NIWR–USGS National
Competitive Grant Program issues an
annual call for proposals to support
research on water problems and issues
of a regional or interstate nature beyond
those of concern only to a single state
and which relate to specific program
priorities identified jointly by the USGS
and the state water resources research
institutes authorized by the Water
Resources Research Act of 1984, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 10301 et seq.). The
program is conducted in conjunction
with the State Water Resources Research
Institutes. The NIWR cooperates with
the USGS in establishing total
programmatic direction, reporting on
the activities of the Institutes,
coordinating and facilitating regional
research and information and
technology transfer, and in operating the
NIWR–USGS Student Internship
Program. Any investigator at an
accredited institution of higher learning
in the United States is eligible to apply
for a grant through a water research
institute or center established under the
provisions of the Act. Proposals
involving substantial collaboration
between the USGS and university
scientists are encouraged. Proposals
may be for projects of 1 to 3 years in
duration and may request up to
$250,000 in federal funds. Successful
applicants must match each dollar of
the federal grant with one dollar from
nonfederal sources. An annual progress
and final technical report for all projects
is required at the end of the project
period. This program is authorized by
the Water Resources Research Act of
1984, as amended (42 U.S.C. 10303(g)).
No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature
are asked.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.

Affected Public: Research
investigators at accredited institutions
of higher education.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary
(necessary to receive benefits).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
We expect to receive approximately 65
applications and award 7 grants per
year.
Estimated Annual Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: We
estimate the annual reporting burden to
be 3,984 hours. This includes 60 hours
per applicant to prepare and submit the
application; and 12 hours (total) per
grantee to complete the interim and
final technical reports.
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.
Comments: To comply with the
public consultation process, on August
28, 2012, we published a Federal
Register notice (77 FR 52052)
announcing that we would submit this
ICR to OMB for approval. The notice
provided the required 60-day public
comment period, which ended October
29, 2012. In response to our Federal
Register Notice, we received one
comment, which consisted of a general
invective about the U.S. Government
and did not pertain to this information
collection. We are again soliciting
comments 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 the comments
submitted in response to this notice are
a matter of public record. Before
including your address, phone number,
email 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
