II. Background
To help us carry out our conservation

issued that allows such activities.
Permits issued under section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA allow otherwise prohibited
activities for scientific purposes or to
enhance the propagation or survival of
the affected species. Service regulations
regarding prohibited activities with
endangered species, captive-bred
wildlife registrations, and permits for
any activity otherwise prohibited by the
ESA with respect to any endangered
species are available in title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations in part 17.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA of 1995, we
are providing 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.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the USGS; (2)
will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the USGS enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (5) how might the
USGS minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.
Comments that you submit 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 ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personally
identifiable information (PII) in your
comment, you should be aware that

PII—may be made publicly available at
any time. While you can ask us in your
comment to withhold your PII from
public review, we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to do so.
Abstract: The United States is facing
growing challenges related to the
availability and quality of water due to

VerDate Sep<11>2014

16:40 Sep 01, 2022

Jkt 256001

shifting demographics, aging waterdelivery infrastructure, the impacts of
climate change, and increasing hazards
risk, such as floods and drought.
Working with incomplete knowledge,
managers must consider the needs of
various demographic groups and
economic sectors when making
management decisions as well as when
responding to emergencies. To improve
delivery of effective science to support
decision-making, the USGS must adapt
to meet the evolving needs of
stakeholders in the water-hazard space.
We will collect information regarding
the decision-making process, data, and
data format needs to support daily, longterm, and emergency management
decision-making. Information will also
be sought on gaps in data delivery and
coverage. A lack of decision-support
data within water institutions can lead
to poor decision-making and outcomes
that produce conflict between water-use
sectors, states, or communities and
ultimately may led to a crisis. This
information will support the delivery of
appropriate data, in appropriate formats,
at the right time for decision-making
and emergency management. The
information will guide USGS support of
water-resource institutions, enhancing
resilience in the face of the many waterresource challenges the nation currently
faces.
Title of Collection: Vulnerability to
Water Insecurity, Hazards Planning, and
Response.
OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public: Federal,
State, Tribal Nation, and local waterresource managers, water-resource
stakeholders, and water-hazard
responders.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 750.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 750.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 60 minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 750.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Once per
year.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, nor is a person required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
