Title: User Access Request Form.
Form Number: FNS–674.
OMB Number: 0584–0532.
Expiration Date: 3/31/2018.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Form FNS–674 is designed
to collect user information required to
gain access to FNS Information Systems.
Affected Public: Contractors, State
Agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,700.
The respondents are State agencies,
who are located in the 50 states and
Trust Territories, staff contractors and
Federal employees. Respondents who
require access to the FNS systems are
estimated at 3,600 annually (includes
Federal, State and private) however,
only 2,700 will account for the total
public burden, excluding Federal
employees. FNS estimates that it will
receive an average of 300 requests per
month (15 per day). Of the 300, 70
percent (or 210) of the responses are
State Agency users, 5 percent (or 15) are
staff contractors and 25 percent (or 75)
are Federal employees which is not
included in the total number of
responses. Annually, that results in
2,700 respondents (210 State Agency
users per month + 15 staff contractors
per month × 12 months).
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.9.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
5,220.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.167
of an hour. Each respondent takes
approximately 0.167 of an hour, or 10
minutes, to complete the required
information on the online form.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 870 hours. See the table
below for estimated total annual burden
for each type of respondent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Context:
The U.S. Global Change Research
Program (USGCRP) is mandated under
the Global Change Research Act (GCRA)
of 1990 to conduct a quadrennial
National Climate Assessment (NCA).
Under its current decadal strategic plan
(https://go.usa.gov/3qGU4), USGCRP is
building sustained assessment capacity.
The sustained assessment supports the
Nation’s ability to understand,
anticipate, and respond to risks and
potential impacts brought about by
global environmental change. As part of
the ongoing NCA process, the 2nd State
of the Carbon Cycle Report (SOCCR–2)
is being developed to inform the
assessment. The last (3rd) NCA (2014)
(NCA3: https://
nca2014.globalchange.gov) and the
process to develop it provided a
foundation for subsequent activities and
reports. The SOCCR–2 assessment
provides an update to the carbon cycle
science information presented in the
2014 NCA and the 2007 State of the
Carbon Cycle Report, a Scientific
Assessment Product (SAP 2.2) that
directly informed the 2nd NCA. The
SOCCR–2 assessment provides updated
carbon cycle science findings and
projections, and is an important input to
the authors of the next quadrennial
NCA, expected in 2018.
The 2nd State of the Carbon Cycle
Report (SOCCR–2) is a product of the
U.S. Global Change Research Program
(USGCRP), and is organized and led by
an interagency team, the Carbon Cycle
Interagency Working Group. The draft
assessment was written by Federal and
non-Federal authors identified via an
Open Call for nominations
(www.federalregister.gov/documents/
2016/02/12/2016-02927/request-forpublic-engagement-in-the-interagencyspecial-report-2nd-state-of-the-carboncycle-report). An interagency Federal

and knowledge of specific topics
designated in an outline included in the
SOCCR–2 prospectus that can be found
through a link on the SOCCR–2 (https://
www.carboncyclescience.us/statecarbon-cycle-report-soccr. This
assessment responds to the 1990
Congressional mandate to periodically
produce National Climate Assessments
and to assist the nation in
understanding, assessing, predicting,
and responding to global change. The
report adheres to the Information
Quality Act requirements (https://
www.cio.noaa.gov/services_programs/
info_quality.html) for quality,
transparency, and accessibility as
appropriate for a Highly Influential
Scientific Assessment (HISA).
