SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The USGS provides notifications and
warnings to the public of volcanic
activity in the US in order to reduce the
loss of life, property, and economic and
societal impacts. Ash fallout to the
ground can pose significant disruption
and damage to buildings, transportation,
water and wastewater, power supply,
communications equipment,
agriculture, and primary production
leading to potentially substantial

societal impacts and costs, even at
thicknesses of only a few millimeters or
inches. Additionally, fine grainedash,
when ingested can cause health impacts
to humans and animals. USGS will use
reports entered in real time by
respondents of ash fall in their local
area to correct or refine ash fall forecasts
as the ash cloud moves downwind.
Retrospectively these reports will enable
USGS to improve their ash fall models
and further research into eruptive
processes. This project is a database
module and web interface allowing the
public and Alaska Volcano Observatory
(AVO) staff to enter reports of ash fall
in their local area in real time and
retrospectively following an eruptive
event. Users browsing the AVO Web site
during eruptions will be directed
towards a web form allowing them to
fill in ash fall information and submit
the information to AVO.
Compiled ashfall reports are available
in real-time to AVO staff through the
AVO internal Web site. A pre-formatted
summary report or table that distills
information received online will show
ash fall reports in chronological order
with key fields including (1) date and
time of ash fall, (2) location, (3) positive
or negative ash fall (4) name of observer,
and (5) contact information is easily
viewable internally on the report so that
calls for clarification can be made by
AVO staff quickly and Operations room
staff can visualize ashfall information
quickly.
Ash fall report data will also be
displayed on a dynamic map interface
and show positive (yes ash) and

negative (no ash) ash fall reports by
location. Ash fall reports (icons) will be
publically displayed for a period of 24
hours and shaded differently as they age
so that the age of reports is obvious.
The ash fall report database will help
AVO track eruption clouds and
associated fallout downwind. These
reports from the public will also give
scientists a more complete record of the
amount and duration and other
conditions of ash fall. Getting first-hand
accounts of ash fall will support model
ash fall development and interpretation
of satellite imagery. AVO scientists
will—as time allows—be able to contact
the individuals using their entered
contact information for clarification and
details. Knowing the locations from
which ash-fall reports have been filed
will improve ash fall warning messages,
AVO Volcanic Activity Notifications,
and make fieldwork more efficient. AVO
staff will be able to condense and
summarize the various ash fall reports
and forward that information on to
emergency management agencies and
the wider public. The online form will
also free up resources during
exceedingly busy times during an
eruption, as most individuals currently
phone AVO with their reports.

III. Request for Comments
We are 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. We will
include or summarize each comment in
our request to OMB to approve this IC.
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
comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public
review, we cannot guarantee that it will
be done.
