SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is 
requesting Office of Management and Budget approval for a new 
information collection which will be used to evaluate the need for NASA 
to establish a central repository of reusable components for earth 
science data systems. The NASA Earth Science Data Systems Working 
Group, who will be collecting the information, needs to better 
understand the community's needs with respect to such a repository 
before it can be built.

II. Method of Collection

    Collection of information will be entirely through an online Web-
based questionnaire in order to minimize respondent burden.

III. Data

    Title: Earth Science Software Reuse.
    OMB Number: 2700-XXXX.
    Type of review: New collection.
    Affected Public: Federal Government; Business or other for-profit; 
Not-for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 60.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 20 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 20.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $0.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including 
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including automated collection techniques 
or the use of other forms of information technology.

and included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection. They will also become a matter of public record.
