SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The National Oceanic & Atmospheric
Administration’s Office of Atmospheric
Research (OAR)/Weather Program Office
is conducting this information
collection pursuant to section 6(b) of
Public Law 92–205. This law requires
that all non-federal weather
modification activities (e.g., cloud
seeding) in the United States (U.S.) and
its territories be reported to the
Secretary of Commerce through NOAA.
This reporting is critical for gauging the
scope of these activities, for determining
the possibility of duplicative operations
or of interference with another project,
for providing a database for checking
atmospheric changes against the
reported activities, and for providing a
single source of information on the
safety and environmental factors used in
weather modification activities in the
U.S. Two forms are collected under this
OMB Control Number: one prior to and
one after the activity. The requirements
are detailed in 15 CFR part 908. This
data is used for scientific research,
historical statistics, international reports
and other purposes.
