Abstract: When creating a Request to Archive oceanographic data or information at the US National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), well-organized and complete metadata describing those data are needed for long term understanding and use of those data. The Send2NODC web application [URL HERE] provides a web-based form for easily collecting required and optional descriptive metadata to describe oceanographic data in a way that supports Executive Order 12906 and structures those metadata to conform to the internationally used ISO 19115-2 Geospatial Metadata standard. Descriptive metadata informs the suitability of data for use by future data users and should provide critical context about how data were collected, what techniques and measurements were made, and data quality characterizations. Information about the data provider or other individuals is only used by NODC to contact the data provider with questions about submitted data, about the status of the data in the archival process, and to provide appropriate scientific recognition and attribution for submitted data. Send2NODC will be used by ocean scientists, principal investigators and their data managers.

ICR Summary of Burden

Annual Number of Responses	300	0	0	0	100	200
Annual Time Burden (Hours)	300	0	0	100	100	100

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall response time is now estimated at 1 hour. Previously, with the simpler paper form, the time was estimated at 30 minutes. Because the majority of researchers are submitting their information via Send2NODC, which allows a more detailed response, we are now assuming 1 hour per response. Since there are both more responses and an increase in estimated time, we are considering 100 of the added hours to be an adjustment, and 100, a program change.
