We may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. DATES: You must submit comments on or before September 15, 2011.

To see a copy of the entire ICR submitted to OMB, go to https://www.reginfo.gov (Information Collection Review, Currently under Review). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The objective of this collection is to build better inventories of landslides through citizen participation. This project will make it possible for the public to report their observations of landslides on a USGS-based Web site. The information gathered through the on-line database will be used to classify the landslides and damage, as well as provide information to scientists about the location, time, speed, and size of the landslides. The USGS Landslide Hazards Program will develop an interactive Web site for public reporting of landslides that will be patterned after the USGS Earthquake Program’s successful ‘‘Did you feel it?’’ Web site for collecting reports of earthquakes.
