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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on December
11, 2020. (85 FR 80137). No comments
were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. 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.
Abstract. The Hydrography
Maintenance Portal (HMP) is a website
used by trained editors to access data
from the USGS National Hydrography
Dataset (NHD) or Watershed Boundary
Dataset (WBD) national databases for the
purpose of editing the data to update,
correct, or otherwise improve it. HMP is
VerDate Sep<11>2014

used by federal employees of the USGS
National Geospatial Program (NGP) and
state partners with which USGS has a
signed Stewardship Program
Memorandums of Understanding
(MOU). USGS employees use the HMP
as their primary means of accessing
NHD and WBD for data management.
State partners use the HMP to check out
areas of the NHD and/or WBD to
perform edits and updates to the data
using their specialized, local knowledge
of the streams in their areas. These data
contributions are very important to
maintaining the datasets as A–16
National Geospatial Data Assets, as well
as helping to prevent duplication of data
by supporting editing of one primary
dataset by many.
Using HMP, NHD or WBD data is
‘‘checked out’’ from a national database
for a select area. No other editor can
check out the data for an area when the
data is already checked out. The HMP
is not used to directly edit or submit
(‘‘check in’’) data to the national
database. Data checked out with HMP
must be edited with USGS hydrography
editing tools, such as the WBD Edit Tool
or the NHD Update Tool. To check in
data, editors must use the USGS
hydrography editing tools.
Registered users are assigned check
out permissions by the HMP
administrators. HMP administrators are
a limited group of the USGS NHD/WBD
Partner Support Team. HMP user
accounts are necessary because they
allow HMP administrators to provide
assistance if needed, to coordinate
production needs, and enable tracking
on the editing history for the datasets
through reporting.
HMP has reporting functions to
generate production statistics. These
reports detail active and previous
checkout histories within specified date
ranges. The business contact
information of the users who checked
out the data are visible on these reports.
Any registered user can generate reports
with HMP.
HMP reports are frequently used to
coordinate essential production needs
between states, or between USGS staff
and state partners. The reports allow
USGS staff to contact partners if there is
a problem with their data or allow
partners to contact partners in others
states to confirm if editing work is
planned or occurring in an adjacent
watershed.
