    Abstract: The NAL's WQIC maintains an electronic, announcement-only 
distribution list (Enviro-News). The current voluntary ``Electronic 
Mailing List Subscription Form'' gives individuals interested in the 
subject of water and agriculture an opportunity to subscribe to this 
list. This form contains six items and is used to collect information 
about participants who are interested in joining an electronic 
distribution list (Enviro-News) covering water and agriculture and 
related topics. The form collects data to improve the relevancy to 
subscribers of information provided by the distribution list. To

[[Page 36764]]

ensure that the list meets subscriber needs and to prevent spam during 
the subscription process, it is necessary to gather this information. 
The brief questionnaire asks for the person's name, email address, job 
title, work affiliation, and topics of interest. In addition, a 
Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans 
Apart (CAPTCHA) question must be responded to. The online submission 
form will continue to serve as an efficient vehicle that allows users 
to register to receive information on water and agriculture and related 
issues.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 1.0 minute per response.
    Respondents: Water and agriculture researchers and practitioners.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 30 per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 0.5 hrs.

Comments

    Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance for the functions 
of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and the assumptions used; (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 those who 
respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technology. Comments should be sent to the address 
in the preamble. All responses to this notice will be summarized and 
included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a 
matter of public record.
