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: Stormready[supreg], Stormready/TsunamireadyTM, 
and Stormready[supreg] Supporter Application Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0419.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (revision of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 265.
    Average Hours per Response: StormReady, Tsunami-Ready and 
StormReady/TsunamiReady applications, 2 hours; StormReady Supporter 
applications, 1 hour.
    Burden Hours: 565.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for revision of a current 
information collection. The StormReady, TsunamiReady and and 
StormReady/TsunamiReady Programs are voluntary programs offered to 
provide guidance and incentive to officials who wish to improve their 
hazardous weather operations, e.g. community preparedness and local 
warning dissemination. Applicants fill out a detailed application that 
demonstrates how they meet certain guidelines that qualify them for 
StormReady recognition.
    The full StormReady recognition is not appropriate for all 
entities, yet they should still be recognized for their efforts in 
preparing for hazardous weather. To this end, the National Weather 
Service has created the StormReady Supporter Program and is the 
revision to this information collection. StormReady Supporter is a 
voluntary program offered to provide guidance and incentive to 
entities, such as local hospitals or businesses, who wish to improve 
their respective hazardous weather preparations. Entities will use the 
application to apply for a one-time StormReady Supporter recognition. 
The government will use the application form to determine whether an 
entity has met the guidelines for a StormReady Supporter recognition.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: One time only.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: [email protected].

Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and

collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected].
