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;

OMB and to provide the opportunity to
