It is intended to inform the design of directed future programs that balance requirements, benefits, and costs at a national scale. NOAA and USGS plan to revisit national elevation data needs to assess changes to the 3D Nation Study baseline in or after 2026, which is why NOAA and USGS are seeking to extend the expiration date of this currently approved ICR. The survey tool for the future 3D Nation Study collection will likely include a subset of questions from the original questionnaire because the 2022 3D Nation Study provides a sufficient foundation to minimize questions in a number of study areas. Prior to conducting the next round of surveys, NOAA will submit a request for questionnaire revision to OMB based on analysis of the baseline survey. Affected Public: Federal government, State, local or Tribal governments; notfor-profit institutions, academia, business or other for-profit organizations. Frequency: On occasion, 3–5-year intervals. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Coast and Geodetic Survey Act of 1947 (33 U.S.C. 883a et seq.). This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
