DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce (DOC) has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: The U.S. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 
(GOES) Data Collection System.
    Agency Form Number: Not Applicable.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0157.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Burden: 27 hours.
    Avg. Hours Per Response: 3 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 9.
    Needs and Uses: NOAA's GOES Data Collection System collects and 
transmits environmental data from remote platforms. NOAA allows other 
users access to any excess capacity on the system if they meet certain

agency needing the data, and that another carrier service is not 
adequate. NOAA needs information to determine if applicants meet these 
criteria.

businesses or other for-profit organizations, state, local or tribal 
government.
    Frequency: One-time per applicant.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
