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
November 16, 2023, (88 FR 78780). The
following comments were received:
Comment 1: Is this a 60-day or 30-day
notice? The text is confusing as to
which it is. Also, the text refers to year
2020 in the future tense. Agency
Response to Comment 1: The link
provided is to the 60-day notice.
Regarding the reference to 2020, it was
not a mistake, as models are being
developed to estimate water use for
2020. The models will continue to be
expanded to estimate water use for
additional years, 2021, 2022, etc. We
will work to clarify this in subsequent
documents. Comment 2. Can you send
me the draft ICR materials, particularly
the draft data-collection instruments
and supporting statements parts A and
B? Agency Response to Comment 2: No
response or action taken as datacollection instruments and supporting
statements were not final.
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 response.
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

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: This notice identifies an
information collection activity that the
USGS Water Availability and Use
Science Program has submitted to OMB
for approval to collect information on
the use of water resources in the United
States. The information is used by USGS
scientists to estimate water use in
several categories including (but not
limited to) public-supply, domestic,
irrigation, thermoelectric-cooling,
industrial, mining, aquaculture, and
livestock applications. USGS national
water-use estimates are disseminated to
stakeholders and the general public on
an ongoing basis and fulfill
requirements of the SECURE Water Act,
Secure Water Act of 2009, Public Law
111–11, title IX, secs. 9501–9507, 123
Stat. 1316 (2009).
The information also supports
regional and national water-availability
studies in the United States. The USGS
has produced estimates of annual water
use by category aggregated at the county
and State levels every 5 years since
1950. For 2020, models will be used to
produce the estimates, and they will be
made at a higher temporal and spatial
resolution than previous years’
estimates. Model estimates are
dependent on validation using the data
collected nationally for specific wateruse facilities. USGS water-use
specialists will request reported wateruse data annually from non-Federal
agencies. Respondents can provide
relevant data in a variety of electronic
formats, usually via websites, file
sharing, or email.
Title of Collection: USGS Water Use
Data Acquisition.
OMB Control Number: 1028–NEW.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
local, and Tribal government waterresources management agencies.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 160.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 160.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 4 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 640.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
