Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request; StormReady, 
TsunamiReady, StormReady/TsunamiReady, and StormReady Supporter 
Application Forms

AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 
Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce, as part of its continuing effort 
to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on 
proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before May 25, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Jennifer Jessup, Departmental 
Paperwork Clearance Officer, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th 
and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230 (or via the internet 
at [email protected]).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the information collection instrument and instructions should 
be directed to Rocky Lopes, (301) 427-9380 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    NOAA's National Weather Service is extending its ``StormReady, 
TsunamiReady, StormReady/TsunamiReady, StormReady Supporter and 
TsunamiReady Supporter Application Forms''. StormReady and TsunamiReady 
are voluntary programs offered as a means of providing guidance and 
incentive to officials interested in improving their respective 
hazardous weather operations. The StormReady Application Form, Tsunami-
Ready Application Form and TsunamiReady/StormReady Application Form 
will be used by localities to apply for initial StormReady or 
TsunamiReady and StormReady recognition and renewal of that recognition 
every six years. The government will use the information collected to 
determine whether a community has met all of the criteria to receive 
StormReady and/or TsunamiReady recognition. Businesses, schools, non 
profit organizations and other non-governmental entities often 
establish severe weather safety plans and actively promote severe 
weather safety awareness activities. Many of these entities do not have 
the resources necessary to fulfill all the eligibility requirements to 
achieve the full StormReady, StormReady/TsunamiReady or StormReady/
Tsunami recognition. Therefore, the NWS established the StormReady and 
TsunamiReady Supporter programs to recognize entities that promote the 
principles and guidelines of the full programs, but do not meet the 
eligibility requirements for full recognition.

II. Method of Collection

    Applications may be faxed, mailed or emailed.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-0419.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical

(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information;
