I. Abstract

IV. Request for Comments

This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
NOAA’s National Weather Service is
extending its ‘‘StormReady,
TsunamiReady, StormReady/
TsunamiReady, StormReady Supporter
and TsunamiReady Supporter
Application Forms’’. StormReady and
TsunamiReady are voluntary programs
offered as a means of providing
guidance and incentive to officials
interested in improving their respective
hazardous weather operations. The
StormReady Application Form,
Tsunami-Ready Application Form and
TsunamiReady/StormReady Application
Form will be used by localities to apply
for initial StormReady or TsunamiReady
and StormReady recognition and
renewal of that recognition every six
years. The government will use the
information collected to determine
whether a community has met all of the
criteria to receive StormReady and/or
TsunamiReady recognition. Businesses,
schools, non profit organizations and
other non-governmental entities often
establish severe weather safety plans
and actively promote severe weather
safety awareness activities. Many of
these entities do not have the resources
necessary to fulfill all the eligibility
requirements to achieve the full
StormReady, StormReady/
TsunamiReady or StormReady/Tsunami
recognition. Therefore, the NWS
established the StormReady and
TsunamiReady Supporter programs to
recognize entities that promote the
principles and guidelines of the full
programs, but do not meet the eligibility
requirements for full recognition.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

Applications may be faxed, mailed or
emailed.
