SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The CINTAC was
established under the discretionary
authority of the Secretary of Commerce
and in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5
U.S.C. App.), in response to an
identified need for consensus advice
from U.S. industry to the U.S.
Government regarding the development
and administration of programs to
expand United States exports of civil
nuclear goods and services in
accordance with applicable U.S. laws
and regulations, including advice on
how U.S. civil nuclear goods and
services export policies, programs, and
activities will affect the U.S. civil
nuclear industry’s competitiveness and
ability to participate in the international
market.
The Department of Commerce
renewed the CINTAC charter on August
5, 2020. This meeting is being convened
under the seventh charter of the
CINTAC.
On March 23, 2022 the CINTAC will
hold the eighth meeting of its current
charter term. The Committee, with
officials from the U.S. Department of
Commerce and other agencies, will
discuss major issues affecting the
competitiveness of the U.S. civil nuclear
energy industry and discuss a proposed
recommendation on civil nuclear
financing. An agenda will be made
available by March 18, 2022 upon
request to Mr. Jonathan Chesebro.

Request; Partner Probabilistic
Snowfall Messaging Survey
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general

comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on October 28,
2021 during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
Department of Commerce.
Title: Partner Probabilistic Snowfall
Messaging Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
new information collection.
Number of Respondents: 7,600.
Average Hours per Response: 0.25
hours or 15 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,900
hours.
Needs and Uses: For decades, the
National Weather Service (NWS) has
provided deterministic (i.e., singlevalue) snowfall forecasts or snowfall
uncertainty forecasts with set, narrow
ranges (i.e., 2–4, 4–6 inches). More
recent advancements in model
ensembles have allowed for the
calculation of probabilistic snowfall
information. This forecast information
can be messaged in a number of ways,
for example, as the probability a
location will receive some amount of
snowfall, or as the probability the
snowfall will be within a certain range.
While statistically more accurate, it is
unknown if probabilistic snowfall
forecasts are understood or helpful to
the end user in their decision making
process.
The NWS and National Center for
Atmospheric Research will work
together to conduct a survey across the
NWS Central Region to determine
different core partners’ needs,
preferences, understanding, and
usefulness regarding probabilistic snow
forecasts. Core partners of interest for
this effort are emergency managers,
school officials, and transportation
officials. The survey will be hosted as a
web-based survey through QuestionPro
and will be electronically distributed to
core partners by local NWS forecast
offices across the Central Region in early
2022.
Results from this survey will be used
to determine how probabilistic snowfall
information will be used in future NWS
products and services with the ultimate
goal of providing information in a way
that improves core partners’ ability to
make informed decisions for the
protection of life and property.
