easily create complete, standards-based descriptive information about geospatial data. The following tools, in use or planned for use by NOAA Program offices, are authorized to collect geospatial metadata consistent with Executive Order 12906, NOAA
Administrative Order 21215, and the 2013 Office of Science and Technology Policy Memorandum Public Access to Research Results. Geospatial metadata collected by the listed tools are voluntary, but the ability for data documented by relevant geospatial metadata is significantly degraded if metadata are incomplete, inaccurate or otherwise less than the information collection tool supports.

Collecting geospatial metadata is necessary to fully understand, use, and reuse geospatial data, geospatial metadata because metadata provides contextual information about data formats, bounding areas, use and access limitations if any. Geospatial metadata from this information collection also supports multiple search and discovery catalog services, such as data.gov, NASA Global Change Master Directory GCMD, and many others.
Information will be collected from data producers primarily university, private industry, and governmentfunded scientific researchers in multiple fields of geosciences, biological and atmospheric sciences, and socioeconomic sciences. Geospatial metadata typically includes descriptive information about specific observed, calculated, or modelled data e.g., title, abstract, purpose statement, descriptive discovery keywords, characteristics of the described data e.g., date and spatial range of data collection activities, data processing steps, collected/measured variables and units of measure for those variables and administrative information e.g., who collected or

created data and metadata, how to cite data when used in scientific analyses.
Information collected by the listed tools is used to inform the appropriate use of data described by related geospatial metadata.
The existing OMB control number is being revised to include additional information collection instruments that collect similar kinds of geospatial metadata as Send2NCEI, but that have different community-based practices or standards that provide for more or less details in the metadata requested.
Additionally, the title of this collection of information is being revised from National Centers for Environmental Information NCEI Send2NCEI Web Application to NOAA Geospatial Metadata to more accurately reflect the revised collection of information.
II. Method of Collection All of the listed information collection instruments use a series of guided web page html forms to collect specific elements of geospatial metadata e.g., start/end date of data observations, descriptive discovery keywords, file format types and file-naming conventions.
III. Data OMB Control Number: 06480024.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Regular. Revision and extension of a current information collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal government; Federal government;
Research universities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
665 respondents per year, Send2NCEI300 respondents/year, ATRAC100 respondents/year, CoMET50 respondents/year, InPort15 respondents/year, SDIS200 respondents/year.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.95
hours, Send2NCEI.75 hours/response, ATRAC4 hours/response, CoMET3 hours/response, InPort1 hour/response, SDIS1 hour/response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 990 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0 in recordkeeping/reporting costs.
Respondents Obligation: Voluntary.
NMFS and OAR internal policies related to availability of future funding options may apply to users of InPort and SDIS
tools, respectively.
