SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The National Geospatial Program (NGP) of the U.S. Geological Survey 
(USGS) contributes funding for the collection of geospatial data which 
increases the development of The National Map and other national 
geospatial databases. NGP will accept applications from Private 
Industry, state, local or tribal Governments to supplement current data 
collection programs in order to fulfill the growing

[[Page 66995]]

and present need for current and accurate geospatial data. Awarded 
projects must complete brief monthly progress reports and a final 
technical report at the end of the project period. All application 
instructions and forms are available on Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov). All reports will be accepted electronically via email.

II. Data

    OMB Control Number: 1028-0092.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Title: The National Map: Topographic Data Grants Program.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Respondent Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Frequency of Collection: Annually and monthly.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, Tribal Government; and 
Private Industry.
    Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: We estimate 280 
responses will be covered under this collection that includes the 
initial responses, the monthly, and final reports from the awarded. 75 
of these reports will come from Private Industry and 205 reports from 
State, Local and Tribal Governments.
    Estimated Time per Response: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 
foresees 61 hours of time will be needed to complete the necessary 
submissions which will include the narrative and supporting 
documentation. We believe that reading the requirements as well as 
development, proposal writing, reviewing and submission of the proposal 
application via Grants.gov will require 61 hours per applicant. Monthly 
and final project reports must be submitted by the award recipient. The 
prior month's progress must be submitted within the report 7 days 
following the start of the new month. The monthly report will take at 
least 1 hour to prepare. The final report must be submitted within 90 
calendar days of the end of the project period. USGS estimates that 
approximately 20 hours will be needed to complete the final report.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: When calculating the total number of 
hours that will be used including State, local, tribal and private 
respondents 3060 hours will be needed.
    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 4/29/2016, we published a 81 Federal Register Notice 
25690/Friday, April 29, 2016. Notices announcing that we would submit 
this ICR to OMB for approval and soliciting comments. The comment 
period closed on 6/28/2016. 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
