II. Data OMB Control Number: 1028—NEW. Title: Registry of Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments. Type of Request: New information collection. Affected Public: Federal agencies, state, tribal and nongovernmental partners, individual scientists, and others involved in the conduct of climate change vulnerability assessments. Respondent’s Obligation: None (participation is voluntary). Frequency of Collection: This information will be collected initially and reviewed at least annually. All listed Registry projects will be contacted and requested to update their information; Federal agencies participating in the Registry will conduct ‘‘data calls’’ according to agency practice to identify new agency projects, and external partners will be reminded via Web posting and community-of-practice networking that new projects may be added to the Registry. Additional entries may be added at any time, as information becomes available. Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: Approximately 1360 responses (i.e., additions to the registry) are expected in the initial data collection phase (first year), including approximately 1200 from Federal organizations and approximately 160 state/local, tribal, and nongovernmental organizations. In subsequent years, annual additions to the registry are expected to be 100 or fewer. Estimated Time per Response: We estimate that it will take one hour per person to document a single assessment project for inclusion in the registry. In future years, reviewing project information to ensure currency or identifying new projects is expected to require de minimis effort. Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1360 in year one and less than 100 in each subsequent year. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated with this collection of information. 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. Until OMB approves a VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:29 Aug 20, 2013 Jkt 229001 collection of information, you are not obligated to respond. 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. Please note that the comments submitted in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to approve this IC. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment, including your personal identifying information, may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Dated: August 15, 2013. Thomas D. Beard, Jr., Chief, National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center, U.S. Geological Survey.

The identification of mineral resources along the Trinity River indicates there is a high potential for the occurrence of placer gold and associated platinum group elements in the river alluvium. There is a moderate to high potential for commercial placer gold development. These alluvial gravel deposits, including the placer tailings, also have a moderate potential for development as sources of mineral materials. There are no other significant mineral occurrences or development potentials. Records related to the application may be examined by contacting either of the above individuals listed above.
