Download as PDF jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 172 / Tuesday, September 8, 2009 / Notices by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: In response to the Presidential memorandum, the eRulemaking Program launched the Regulations.gov ‘feedback exchange’ Web site in May 2009. This interactive Web site will showcase new technologies being considered for Regulations.gov. The ‘feedback exchange’ will serve as a learning laboratory for open government, enabling the public to provide input on the Regulations.gov interface, build a community of practice on the Federal regulatory development process, and ensure that the eRulemaking Program can efficiently manage federal resources by testing new tools before they are launched. The Regulations.gov ‘feedback exchange’ Web site will provide the public with a preview of new technologies considered for Regulations.gov. It will also enable the public to provide feedback on these technologies. Technologies considered for the Regulations.gov ‘feedback exchange’ include: User Profiles; Comment Threads and Wikis; Ratings, Polls, and Tagging; an interactive Educational Tool; and an Information Export capability. These technologies will be deployed iteratively, with components deployed upon the site’s release in May 2009 and during subsequent upgrades to the Web site. User profiles enable the public to register on the site and pre-load submitter information for later use as well as save their own personalized searches, RSS feeds, and e-mail alerts without the use of persistent cookies. Comment Threads allow the public to enter into virtual conversations with one another about a topic. Wikis enable the public to collaboratively develop and modify narrative descriptions about a topic. Ratings and Polls allow the public to indicate a preference for a topic or issue via the selection of stars or thumbs up/thumbs down icons which graphically provide an at-aglance indication of public sentiment and can simplify navigation. Tagging provides the public with the ability to tag or label information they or someone else has posted to the site to ease navigation and to promote the formation of common interest categories. The Educational Tool will inform the public about the Federal rulemaking process through interactive text and images. The Data Export capability enables the public to download and review the VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:32 Sep 04, 2009 Jkt 217001 contents of a rulemaking docket as well as mix and match such information with other information in a new way (also known as a ‘‘mash-up’’). The Regulations.gov ‘feedback exchange’ will rely on voluntary feedback from Government, Industry, Academia and Citizenry to improve Regulations.gov as time goes on. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 35 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: Anyone who chooses to visit Regulations.gov. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1000. Frequency of Response: Occasionally. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 35 hours.
