SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Silver Jackets Program 
Nomination and Awards; Nomination Form Eng Form 6128; OMB Control 
Number 0710-SJAP.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection request is necessary to 
obtain input and feedback into the successes of various Silver Jackets 
State Teams deserving of recognition through annual awards. The form 
provides a means of nominating teams for consideration and can be 
filled out by State government employees. State government employees 
are also asked to vote for the nominated team most deserving of 
recognition after the nomination phase is complete.
    Affected Public: Individual or household.
    Annual Burden Hours: 27 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 54.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 108.
    Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Call for Nominations is issued annually to request nominations for 
the Silver Jackets State Team of the Year award. Because the Silver 
Jackets program is not a USACE-only program, but an intergovernmental 
partnership program, incorporating input and feedback from our State 
partners is critical to recognizing the accomplishments of the teams. 
There are two information collection requests associated with the 
Silver Jackets State Team of the Year award. Respondents to both are 
State government employees who partner with USACE on Silver Jackets 
State Teams. Silver Jackets is an innovative program that provides 
States with an opportunity to consistently coordinate with multiple 
state, federal, and sometimes tribal and local agencies to learn from 
one another and implement flood risk reduction. The first information 
collection request is for the nomination of teams for consideration. 
The second information collection request is to cast votes for the 
winning team from among those teams that were previously nominated. Eng 
Form 6128, which will be submitted electronically, is the nomination 
form. The second information collection request does not have an 
associated form. In this information collection request, each Silver 
Jackets State Team is provided with a number of votes that they can 
cast for one or more of the previously nominated teams, and voting is 
conducted through a website.
