Request; NOAA Geospatial Metadata
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on January 29,
2021 (86 FR 7541) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for
an additional 30 days for public
comments.

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

tools.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0024.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
revision and extension of a current
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 1,430.
Average Hours per Response: 1.75.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,590.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) collects,
generates, retains, and redistributes
geospatial metadata in a wide array of
data formats covering diverse aspects of
earth, biological, and space sciences. To
fully understand and reuse these data
over the course of many years, NOAA
provides several metadata
documentation tools for various
communities of users to enable them to
easily create complete, standards-based
descriptive information about geospatial

data. The following tools, in use or
planned for use by NOAA Program
offices, are authorized to collect
geospatial metadata consistent with
Executive Order 12906, NOAA
Administrative Order 212–15, and the
2013 Office of Science and Technology
Policy Memorandum ‘Public Access to
Research Results’. Geospatial metadata
collected by the listed tools are
‘voluntary’ but the ability for data
documented by relevant geospatial
metadata is significantly degraded if
metadata are incomplete, inaccurate or
otherwise less than the information
collection tool supports.
National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service (NESDIS):
Send2NCEI web application (currently
approved as OMB Control Number:
0648–0024).
National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service: Advanced
Tracking and Resource tool for Archive
Collections (ATRAC) web application.
National Environmental Satellite,
Data and Information Service:
Collection Metadata Editing Tool
(CoMET) web application.
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS): InPort metadata authoring tool.
Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric
Research (OAR): Science Data
Information System (SDIS) metadata
and data submission tool.
Collecting geospatial metadata is
necessary to fully understand, use, and
reuse geospatial data since the metadata
provides contextual information about
data formats, bounding areas, use and
access limitations (if any). Geospatial
metadata from this information
collection also supports multiple search
and discovery catalog services, such as
data.gov, NASA Global Change Master
Directory (GCMD), and many others.
Information will be collected from
data producers (primarily university,
private industry, and governmentfunded scientific researchers) in
multiple fields of geosciences, biological
and atmospheric sciences, and socioeconomic sciences. Geospatial metadata
typically includes descriptive
information about specific observed,
calculated, or modelled data (e.g., title,
abstract, purpose statement, descriptive
discovery keywords), characteristics of
the described data (e.g., date and spatial
range of data collection activities, data
processing steps, collected/measured
variables and units of measure for those
variables) and administrative
information (e.g., who collected or
created data and metadata, how to cite
data when used in scientific analyses).
Information collected by the listed tools
is used to inform the appropriate use of

data described by related geospatial
metadata.
The existing OMB control number is
expanded to include other information
collection instruments that collect
similar kinds of geospatial metadata but
that have different community-based
practices or standards that provide for
more or less details in the metadata
requested. Additionally, the title of the
collection is being changed from
National Centers for Environmental
Information (NCEI) Send2NCEI Web
Application to NOAA Geospatial
Metadata to reflect the information
being collected.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal
government; Federal government.
Frequency: As needed for geospatial
data documentation purposes.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Executive Order
12906 and the 2013 Office of Science
and Technology Policy Memorandum
‘Public Access to Research Results’.
This information collection request
may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view the
Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Find this
particular information collection by
selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day
Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or

entering either the title of the collection
or the OMB Control Number 0648–0024.
