What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
Title: Data.gov Information Collection.
OMB Control Number: 3090–0284.
Abstract: Data.gov is inspired by the
President’s program for ‘‘Open
Government’’ and ‘‘Transparency’’. In
response to the President’s direction to
improve the transparency of
government, the Federal Chief
Information Officer (CIO) Council has
created a Web site/portal that will
improve public access to a wide variety
of U.S. Government data. Data.gov is a
public-friendly website that provides
descriptions of the Federal datasets,
information on how to access the

datasets, points of contact information,
metadata information, and links to
publicly accessible applications that
leverage the datasets. This information
collection request for a generic
clearance is a replacement of the
emergency ICR approved by OMB. It is
being submitted in order to fulfill the
public feedback aspects of this
important initiative. Data.gov visitors
will be provided opportunities to
provide feedback and ratings in the
spirit of the President’s open
government and transparency initiative.
Examples of feedback mechanisms are:
(1) A five-star rating system to give
visitors information about which
datasets other visitors found most useful
and interesting on the Data.gov Web
page,
(2) a ‘‘Suggest Other Datasets’’ entry
page for the public to submit ideas for
datasets with an optional contact e-mail
address provided for those visitors
wishing to identify themselves,
(3) a ‘‘Contact Us’’ entry page with an
optional contact e-mail address for those
visitors wishing to identify themselves,
(4) pages for visitors to advise how
they leverage the datasets in new and
different ways to build applications,
conduct analysis, and perform research,
(5) pages for visitors to rate the benefit
of the reported new solutions, etc.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average up to 500 hours per
year. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The estimated annual burden request
is summarized here:
Affected entities: Visitors to Data.gov.
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 22,500.
Estimated total number of potential
responses: 22,500.
Frequency of response: Occasionally.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
500 hours.
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
Estimated total annual costs: No cost
to the public; no additional government
resources.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
GSA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, GSA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive (HSPD) 12 ‘‘Policy for a
Common Identification Standard for
Federal Employees and Contractors’’
requires the implementation of a
governmentwide standard for secure
and reliable forms of identification for
Federal employees and contractors.
OMB’s implementing instructions
requires all contract employees
requiring routine access to Federally
controlled facilities for greater than six
(6) months to receive a background
investigation. The minimum
background investigation is the National
Agency Check with Written Inquiries or
NACI.
However, there is no requirement in
the law or HSPD–12 that requires child
care employees to be subject to the
NACI since employees of child care
providers are neither government
employees nor government contractors.
Instead, the child care providers are
required to complete the criminal
history background checks mandated in
the Crime Control Act of 1990, Public
Law 101–647, dated November 29, 1990,
as amended by Public Law 102–190,
dated December 5, 1991. These statutes
require that each employee of a child
care center located in a Federal building
or in leased space must undergo a
background check.
According to GSA policy, child care
workers (as described above) will need
to submit the following:
1. An original signed copy of a Basic
National Agency Check Criminal
History, GSA Form 176; and
2. Two sets of fingerprints on FBI
Fingerprint Cards, for FD–258.
