SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The U.S. Geological Survey is required to collect, evaluate, 
publish and distribute information concerning earthquakes. Respondents 
have an opportunity to voluntarily supply information concerning the 
effects of shaking from an earthquake--on themselves, buildings, other 
man-made structures, and ground effects such as faulting or landslides. 
Respondents' observations are interpreted in terms of numbers that 
measure the strength of shaking, and the resulting numbers are 
displayed on maps that are viewable from USGS earthquake Web sites. 
Observations are submitted via the Felt Report questionnaire accessed 
from the USGS Did You Feel It? Earthquake Questionnaire Web pages, and 
may be submitted via computer or mobile phone. Respondents are asked to 
provide information on the location to which the report pertains. The 
locations may, at the respondent's option, be given imprecisely (city-
name or postal Zip Code) or precisely (street address, geographic 
coordinates, or current location determined by the user's mobile 
phone). Low resolution maps of shaking based on both precise and 
imprecise observations are published for all earthquakes for which 
observations are submitted. For earthquakes felt by many respondents, 
the observations that are associated with more precise locations are 
used in the preparation of higher resolution maps of earthquake 
shaking.
    We will protect information from respondents considered proprietary 
under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and implementing 
regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, 
``Data and information to be made available to the public or for 
limited inspection.'' Responses are voluntary. No questions of a 
``sensitive'' nature are asked. We will release data collected on these 
forms only in formats that do not include proprietary information 
volunteered by respondents.

II. Data

    OMB Control Number: 1028-0048.
    Form Number: NA.
    Title: Did You Feel It? Earthquake Questionnaire.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Respondent Obligation: None.

[[Page 21261]]

    Frequency of Collection: On occasion, after each earthquake.
    Description of Respondents: General Public.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: Approximately 300,000 
individuals, based on past experience, but strongly dependent on the 
number of moderate or large earthquakes occurring near population 
centers, which cannot be known in advance.
    Estimated Time per Response: We estimate that it will take 6 
minutes per person on average to answer the entire survey.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 30,000 hours
    Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-Hour Cost'' Burden: 
There are no ``non-hour cost'' burdens associated with this collection 
of information.
    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. Until the OMB approves a collection 
of information, you are not obliged to respond.
    Comments: On February 3, 2015, we published a Federal Register 
notice (80 FR 5776) announcing that we would submit this ICR to OMB for 
approval and soliciting comments. The comment period closed on April 6, 
2015. We received no comments.

III. Request for Comments

    We again invite comments concerning this ICR 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) how 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.
    Please note that comments submitted in response to this notice are 
a matter of public record. Before including your personal mailing 
address, phone number, email address, or other personally identifiable 
information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire 
comment, including your personally identifiable information, may be 
made publicly available at any time. While you can ask the OMB in your 
comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public 
review, we cannot guarantee that it will be done.
