serve as hosts and partners. Agreements
are for set periods of time (generally five
years); thus, when the agreement for a
specific CSC is nearing its termination
date, USGS will solicit proposals and
determine whether to enter another
agreement with the same institution/
consortium or with another institution/
consortium.
USGS also currently collects
information from institutions that serve
as hosts for CSCs. This information
includes quarterly financial statements
(Standard Form 425) and annual
progress reports. These reports address
both the overarching agreement to host
the CSC and individual research
projects funded under that overarching
agreement. In the future, USGS may
enter into agreements with partner
institutions in a consortium, in addition
to the ‘‘host,’’ as is current practice. If
such agreements are executed, USGS
will request information from both the
host and partner institutions. This
information is used to evaluate the
performance of the institutions/
consortia with respect to the
agreements.
II. Data
OMB Control Number: 1028–0096.
Form Number: Standard form 425.
Other information not collected in a
form.
Title: NATIONAL CLIMATE
CHANGE AND WILDLIFE SCIENCE
CENTER AND DEPARTMENT OF THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE SCIENCE
CENTERS (NCCWSC/CSC).
Type of Request: Revisions to a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Institutions that are
eligible to propose to serve as CSC host
or partner institutions include Federal,
state, not-for-profit, local government,
and tribal entities, including academic
institutions. Existing host institutions
are academic institutions.
Respondent’s Obligation: None,
participation is voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Proposals for
new CSC host/partner agreements are
collected approximately every five years
for any individual CSC. However,
because CSCs were not all established in
one year, and agreement terms may be
extended to address specific
circumstances, such proposals may be
requested during any year. Information
is collected from institutions with
whom USGS has an agreement to serve
as a CSC host or partner and for
individual research projects funded
under these agreements on a quarterly
and annual basis.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: USGS expects to request
proposals for a maximum of three CSCs

in any year, and to receive an average
of five proposals per CSC-request, for a
total of fifteen proposals in any single
year. USGS expects to enter into
agreements with a minimum of eight
CSC host institutions, and as many as
fifteen additional CSC partner
institutions. Thus USGS would request
quarterly and annual information
addressing host and partner agreements
from an estimated twenty-three
institutions. In addition, USGS expects
approximately forty requests per year
addressing specific research projects
funded under these hosting agreements.
Estimated Time per Response: Each
proposal for CSC hosting is expected to
take 200 hours to complete. The time
required to complete quarterly and
annual reports for any specific host/
partner or research project agreement is
expected to total twenty hours per
agreement (not per report).
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: A
maximum of 4260 hours.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’
burdens associated with this IC.
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 and current expiration date.
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) ways 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.
