SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This information collection enabled NASA to pre-test methods to 
collect information from individuals to determine community response to 
the new, quieter sonic booms, prior to the start of flight testing the 
X-plane. No public exposure to any form of sonic boom occurred during 
the pre-testing phase.
    The pre-test was conducted by telephone interview. NASA wanted to 
evaluate telephone surveys to assess prompt public response associated 
with experiencing low amplitude sonic booms over multiple, 
geographically dispersed communities. Responses were voluntary.
    The new X-plane is designed to produce low amplitude sonic booms. 
Ultimately, flight testing of the X-plane is intended to (1) 
demonstrate and validate the technology necessary for civil supersonic 
flights that create low amplitude sonic booms, and (2) assess community 
response to the new, quieter, sonic booms.

II. Methods of Collection

    Telephone.

III. Data

    Title: Pilot Testing of Telephone Interviewing Approaches to Assess 
Community Response to New, Quieter Boom Experiences.
    OMB Number: 2700-0166.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Estimated Annual Number of Activities: 5,000.
    Estimated Number of Respondents per Activity: 1.
    Annual Responses: 5,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 250.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including 
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including automated collection techniques 
or the use of other forms of information technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection. They will also become a matter of public record.

William Edwards-Bodmer,
NASA PRA Clearance Officer.
