SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the USGS; (2)
will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the
estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the USGS enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (5) how might the
USGS minimize the burden of this
collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.
Comments that you submit 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 ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal

Abstract: The USGS administers the
National Ground-Water Monitoring
Network which was developed through
work with the Federal Advisory
Committee on Water Information
(ACWI) and its Subcommittee on
Ground Water (SOGW). This network is
required as part of Public Law 111–11,
Subtitle F—Secure Water: Section 9507,
42 U.S.C. 10367, ‘‘Water Data
Enhancement by United States
Geological Survey.’’ The NGWMN
consists of an aggregation of wells and
spring from existing Federal, State,
Tribal, and local groundwater
monitoring networks. To support data

providers for the NGWMN, the USGS
will be providing funding through
cooperative agreements to waterresource agencies that collect
groundwater data. The USGS will be
soliciting applications for funding that
will request information from the
Agency collecting the data. Elements
will include contact information (phone
number and email address), and a
proposal describing their proposed work
in support of the NGWMN. The
proposal will describe the groundwater
networks to be included in the
NGWMN, the purpose of the networks,
and the Principal aquifers that are
monitored. Proposals may include work
to become a new data provider to the
NGWMN, support for maintaining
connections to agency databases, and
work to enhance NGWMN sites
(updating metadata, well maintenance,
well drilling, and support for
continuous water-level monitoring
equipment). The proposal would require
estimates of costs to complete the above
tasks and a timeline for planned
completion. The proposal will be
reviewed by the USGS and the NGWMN
Program Board who will make funding
recommendations.

Abstract: The BIA—Indian Services is
seeking renewal for the information
collection Reporting System for Public
Law 102–477 Demonstration Project.
This information allows the Division of
Workforce Development (DWD), which
reports to the BIA—Indian Services, to

statutory, regulatory, and other
requirements of the various integrated
programs. Public Law 102–477
authorized tribal governments to
integrate federally funded employment,
training, and related services and
programs into a single, coordinated,
comprehensive service delivery plan.
Funding agencies include the
Department of Labor and the
Department of Health and Human
Services. BIA is statutorily required to
serve as the lead agency and provides a
