Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Web Forms for Research Data, Models, Materials, and Publications as well as Study and Event Registration.
Type of Request: Extension and Revision of a Currently Approved Information Collection.
OMB Number: 0518-0032.
Expiration Date: January 31, 2025.
Abstract: Sections 1703 and 1705 of the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA), (Pub. L. 105-277) title XVII, require agencies by October 21, 2003, to provide the public with the option of electronic submission of information. To advance GPEA goals, online forms are needed to allow the public to ask ARS for research data, models, materials, and publications and to register for scientific studies and events. For the convenience of the public, the forms itemize the information needed to provide a timely response. ARS will use the information from forms only for the purposes identified.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3 minutes per response (range: 1-5 minutes).
Respondents: Agricultural researchers; students; teachers; businesspeople; members of service organizations; community groups; other Federal, State, and local government agencies; and the public.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 14,400. This is an increase of 2,800 from the 11,600 estimated respondents in the previous Approved Information Collection due to an annual increase in actual respondents since the 2021 estimate, as well as 9 more software models available for download. As of July 2024, 166 software models were available for download through the ARS website https://www.ars.usda.gov/research/software/.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 720 hours.
Copies of forms used in this information collection can be obtained from Jill Lake, ARS Webmaster, arsweb@usda.gov.
ARS is requesting an extension of 3 years for collecting information.
Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information for respondents; this includes using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.
Marlen Eve,
Acting Associate Administrator, ARS.
