Abstract
The Water Resources Research Act of
1984, as amended (42 U.S.C. 10301 et
seq.), authorizes a water resources
research institute or center in each of
the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam, the Federated States of
Micronesia, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Marina Islands, and American
Samoa. There are currently 54 such
institutes, one in each state, the District
of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Guam. The institute
in Guam is a regional institute serving
Guam, the Federated States of
Micronesia, and the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands. Each of
the 54 institutes submits an annual
application for an allotment grant and
provides an annual report on its
activities under the grant. The State
Water Resources Research Institute
Program issues an annual call for
applications from the institutes to
support plans to promote research,
training, information dissemination, and
other activities meeting the needs of the
States and Nation. The program also
encourages regional cooperation among
institutes in research into areas of water
management, development, and
conservation that have a regional or
national character.
The U.S. Geological Survey has been
designated as the administrator of the
provisions of the Act.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: We expect to receive 54
applications and 54 annual reports.

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an

you are not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

Comments: To comply with the
public consultation process, on April
18, 2013, we published a Federal
Register notice (78 FR 2422)
announcing that we would submit this
ICR to OMB for approval. The notice
provided the required 60-day public
comment period, which ended June 19,
2013. We did not receive any comments
in response to that notice. We again
invite comments concerning this
information collection on: (a) Whether

its duties, including whether the

automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

improvements, and incidental expenses
associated with the volunteer program,
such as meals and transportation to and

improvements include additional water
and electrical stations, fire rings, picnic
tables, restrooms, cook grills, and
equestrian facilities. The amenity fees
