DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Certification Requirements for Distributors of NOAA 
Electronic Navigational Charts/NOAA Hydrographic Products.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0508.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 328.
    Number of Respondents: 8.
    Average Hours per Response: Semi-annual reports, 1 hour; error 
reports, 1 hour and 30 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Electronic navigational charts (ENCs) are one of 
NOAA's products under its Nautical Charting Program. Official NOAA ENCs 
which conform to International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) 
standards may be used in a type approved display system, such as an 
Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), to comply with 
Federal nautical chart carriage requirements administered by the U.S. 
Coast Guard.
    In 2005, NOAA established a certification program for the re-
distribution of official NOAA ENCs, codified in 15 CFR part 995, in 
order to ensure the quality and content of official NOAA ENCs remains 
intact throughout the redistribution process. The information collected 
allows NOAA to administer the regulation, and to better understand 
which ENCs are being distributed more often, resulting in products that 
meet the needs of the customer in a timely and efficient manner.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Semi-annually and on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, FAX number (202) 395-7285, or 
[email protected].
