SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general
public and other Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on May 24,
2021 (86 FR 27888). No comments were
received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,

Abstract: Synoptic water level
measurements are a type of
measurement where data is collected
from many wells over a short period of
time. As part of the effort to collect
synoptic measurements of the
Michindoh Aquifer, the USGS is relying
on the participation of property owners
from across the region. Those identified
as having a selected water well located
on their property will be contacted via
a postcard. They will then be asked to
sign a permission form allowing the
USGS to complete groundwater level
measurement in their well during Fall
2021 and Spring 2022. This will involve
USGS scientists accessing the well and
lowering a sanitized electric or steel
tape into the well to determine the
current water depth below land surface.
The measurement that is collected will
also be provided to the property owner
at the time of collection.
The USGS will attempt to measure
approximately 150 to 200 wells within
eleven counties in the tri-state region.
This large number of measurements
over a short period of time will provide
the USGS with a snapshot-like
understanding of regional water levels.
This information will be critical for
comprehending the behavior of the
entire aquifer system and will be used
to model regional groundwater depth.
Title of Collection: Michindoh Glacial
Aquifer Groundwater Study.
