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.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0508.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 8.
    Average Hours Per Response: Distribution reports, 1 hour; error 
reportings, 1 hour, 30 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 328.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a currently 
approved information collection.
    The National Ocean Service (NOS) Office of Coast Survey manages the 
Certification Requirements for Distributors of NOAA Electronic 
Navigational Charts (NOAA ENCs[supreg]). The certification allows 
entities to download, redistribute, repackage, or in some cases 
reformat, official NOAA ENCs and retain the NOAA ENC's official status. 
The regulations for implementing the Certification are at 15 CFR part 
995.
    The recordkeeping and reporting requirements of 15 CFR part 995 
form the basis for this collection of information. Certified ENCs 
report distribution data twice per year, and submit error reports 
whenever applicable, averaging approximately 26 reports per year per 
ENC. This information allows the Office of Coast Survey to administer 
the regulation, and to better understand the marketplace 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: Semiannually and on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: [email protected].
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Jennifer Jessup, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0336, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and

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