    This request is for an extension of a currently approved 
information collection. NOAA asks people who operate ground receiving 
stations that receive data from NOAA satellites to complete a 
questionnaire about the types of data received, its use, the equipment 
involved, and similar subjects. Members of NOAA's Direct Broadcast User 
Groups are asked follow-up questions. The data obtained are used by 
NOAA for short-term operations and long-term planning. Collection of 
this data assists us in complying with the terms of our Memorandum of 
Understanding (MOU) with the World Meteorological Organization: United 
States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration (NOAA) on area of common interest (2008).

II. Method of Collection

    The information is collected via an online questionnaire.

    Estimated Time per Response: 5 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 25.

IV. Request for Comments
