SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract The primary objective of the National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS) is to advance the understanding of the energy endowment of the United States (U.S.) by gathering and organizing digital geologic information related to coal, coalbed gas, shale gas and other energy resources and related information regarding these resources. These data are needed to support regional or national assessments concerning coal and coal bed gas occurrences. Requesting external cooperation is the best way for NCRDS to collect energy data and perform research and analyses on the characterization of coals and organicrich shale, and obtain other information (including geophysical or seismic data, sample collection for generation of thermal maturity data) that can be used in solid-fuel resource assessments and related studies. The USGS will issue a call for proposals to support researchers from State Geological Surveys and associated accredited Universities that can provide geologic data to support the NCRDS and other energy assessment projects being conducted by the Energy Resources Program. Data submitted to NCRDS by external cooperators constitute more than two-thirds of the USGS pointsource stratigraphic database (USTRAT) on coal occurrence. In 2012, NCRDS supported 30 projects in 23 States. This program is conducted under various authorities, including 30 U.S.C. 208–1, 42 U.S.C. 15801, and 43 U.S.C. 31 et seq. This collection will consist of applications, proposals and reports (annual and final). II. Data OMB Control Number: 1028–094. Title: Energy Cooperatives to Support the National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS). Respondent Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Frequency of Collection: One time every 5 years for applications and final reports; annually for progress reports. Affected Public: Individuals; State, local and tribal governments; State Geological Surveys, universities, and businesses. Estimated Annual burden hours: 367.

Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 35 (9 applications 26 reports). Estimated Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’: None. III. Public Disclosure Statement The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. IV. Comments We are soliciting comments as to: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the agency to perform its duties, including whether the information is useful; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) how to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) how to minimize the burden on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
