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 improves
public access to a wide variety of U.S.

Government data. Data.gov is a publicfriendly Web site 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 and text
‘‘Comment on this Data’’ field to give
visitors information about which
datasets other visitors found most useful
and interesting on the Data.gov
webpage,
(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 field for visitors to rank datasets
suggested by other visitors at an
estimated annual burden of 17 hours,
(4) A ‘‘Contact Us’’ entry page with an
optional contact e-mail address for those
visitors wishing to identify themselves,
(5) A Collaborative Work
Environment using wiki web pages and
e-mail discussion forum,
(6) Pages for visitors to advise how
they leverage the datasets in new and
different ways to build applications,
conduct analysis, and perform research,
(7) 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 400 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: 16,200.
Estimated total number of potential
responses: 16,200.
Frequency of response: Occasionally.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
400 hours.
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 did not receive comments to its
first Federal Register notice 74 FR
29211–29212, June 19, 2009. The final
ICR package is being submitted to OMB
for review and approval pursuant to 5
CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv). The purpose of
this Federal Register notice is to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and to provide 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.

Proposed Project: The Hospital
Preparedness Program—Revision-OMB
No. 0990–0326–OS—Assistant Secretary
for Preparedness and Response (ASPR).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Preparedness and
Response (ASPR), Division of
Healthcare Preparedness Program (HPP)
and the State and Local Initiative—
Program Evaluation Section (SLI-PES),
is proposing a Web-based reporting
system to gather critical information and
data from the 62 Awardees participating
in the National Bioterrorism Hospital
Preparedness Program (NBHPP). The
reporting system will capture
information related on performance
measures, critical benchmarks, minimal
levels of readiness, program statistics,
policies and procedures, surge capacity
elements, surge capacity as measured by
exercises, and other pertinent
information for programmatic fiscal
management, improvement and tracking
performance. The data submitted to HPP
will be gathered for mid-year reports
and end of year reports on annual
activities and progress.
Awardees will indicate the progress
made toward each of the financial and
programmatic objectives noted on their
cooperative agreement application
(CAA) on the mid-year progress report.
The end of year report on annual
activities will require Awardees to
provide additional details on objective
achievement and budget/fiscal
management. The end of year report
will also require Awardees to present
improvements made toward achieving
the program’s critical benchmarks.
In addition, the reporting will
increase ASPR’s ability to quickly and
efficiently analyze data, identify trends,
make timely program decisions, and
provide the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), Congress, and
other Operating Divisions with data and
information.
