    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management

information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 24.

    Needs and Uses: NOAA was mandated by the Hydrographic Service 
Improvement Acts of 1998 and 2002 to develop and implement a quality 
assurance program under which the Administrator may certify privately-
made hydrographic products. The Administrator fulfilled this mandate by 
establishing procedures by which hydrographic products are proposed for 
certification; by which standards and compliance tests are developed, 
adopted, and applied for those products; and by which certification is
