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 July 11,
2022, (87, 41347). 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 the agency might 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 responses.
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 personally identifiable
information (PII) in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your PII—may be
made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your PII from public review,
we cannot guarantee that we will be
able to do so.
Abstract: The State Water Resources
Research Institutes were established
under Section 104(a) of the WRRA [42
U.S.C. 10303(a)]. There are 54 Water
Resources Research Institutes, one in
each state, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and
Guam; the Institute in Hawaii also

serves American Samoa and the
Institute in Guam serves both the
Federated States of Micronesia and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands. These Institutes cooperate with
the USGS on reporting on the science
that is accomplished and coordinating
and facilitating regional research,
outreach, and technology transfer.
The USGS WRRA program issues an
annual announcement to solicit
applications for noncompetitive State
Water Resources Research Program
annual base grants authorized by section
104(c) and for the national competitive
grant program authorized by section
104(g) of the WRRA of 1984 (Pub. L. 98–
242), as amended [42 U.S.C. 10303(c)].
Annual base grants (104(c)) may
support research- and informationtransfer projects as well as
administrative projects that advance the
institutes’ overall administration and
objectives; these research projects are
generally selected in a competitive
statewide solicitation, peer-review, and
selection process designed and
conducted by each institute. National
competitive grants (104(g)) focus on
water problems and issues of a regional
or interstate nature beyond those of
concern only to a single state and which
relate to specific program priorities
identified jointly by the Secretary of the
Interior (delegated to the USGS) and the
institutes.
