Agency Information Collection
Activities; Submission to the Office of

Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Weather.gov Visitor
Experience 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
public and other Federal agencies to
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 July 19,
2022 (87 FR 43007) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for
an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Weather.gov Visitor Experience
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 14,750.
Average Hours per Response: 10
Minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,508.
Needs and Uses: The data collection
is sponsored by DOC/NOAA/National
Weather Service (NWS)/Office of
Dissemination (DISS) in consultation
with the NWS Communications
Division. Weather.gov is the main entry
point to National Weather Service
(NWS) forecasts, warnings, and other
information for a diverse user
community, including the public,
partners and emergency managers,
academia, researchers, and employees.
The user interface is intended to serve
many purposes for these audiences.
The Weather.gov Survey is permitted
under 15 U.S.C. ch. 111, Weather
Research and Forecasting Information. It
also advances the NWS Strategic Plan
(2019–2022) ‘‘Transformative ImpactBased Decision Support Services (IDSS)
and Research to Operations and
Operations to Research (R2O/O2R). The
Survey also addresses the NWS Weather
Ready Nation (WRN) Roadmap (2013)

sections 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.8, and
3.1.4.
The purpose of this collection is to
help determine the appropriate web
content for Weather.gov so the customer
experience can be improved and the
content can be better accessed and used.
NWS is looking to improve
functionality, ease of use, and
formatting but feedback on any other
areas of Weather.gov that NWS should
consider updating is welcome as well.
The collection will create a high-level
data requirements document that
identifies a set of high-priority NWS
products, services, and observations that
provide mission-critical, timely, and
reliable information to make decisions
with when seconds count. The
document will also identify high-level
partner requirements for accessibility
(mobile versus desktop), timeliness, and
reliability.
This information would be collected
on a one-off basis and analyzed by
Forrester Research, who has assisted
NWS in creating a survey instrument
and would provide NWS with a
summary of findings, raw data and
access to interactive ‘‘dashboards’’, or
tools, to visualize the aggregated data.
Respondents include the general public,
defined as (adults ages 18+) who reside
in the United States, as well as NWS
partners. Forrester will oversee
recruitment of U.S. adults by an online
market research company that
aggregates large panels of people who
sign up to complete internet surveys.
Respondents will be asked questions
about their preferred way of getting
weather information (including weather
on regular days and during severe/
hazardous weather), their use of
Weather.gov and other weather
websites, interest in different types of
weather information on a website,
priorities and preferences in accessing
weather-related information online, and
preferred format of receiving weather
information. This data collection serves
many purposes, including gaining a
better understanding of the online
weather information needs (including
information about hazardous weather)
of different customer groups, including
historically underserved and socially
vulnerable communities, how they
prefer to receive this information, how
they would like the main page of
Weather.gov to be organized, what
additional functionality they expect that
would make them feel better prepared
for hazardous weather, and has the
potential to explore possible
correlations and causal relationships
with other observed variables of
interest. This data will be used by the
OSTI in NWS to develop a set of website
