The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is requesting public comments on a proposal to renew and revise an information collection, in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The information collection involves the Hydrography Addressing Tool (HydroAdd), which helps users link their data with the National Hydrography Dataset. This collection is voluntary and aims to minimize reporting burdens while providing necessary data in an efficient format. The USGS is especially seeking feedback on the utility, clarity, and burden of this information collection.
Simple Explanation
The people who study rocks and rivers in the U.S. want to keep collecting important information using a special tool that helps put things on a map. They are asking for ideas on how to make the tool better and easier to use for everyone, just like making a toy easier to play with!
