Forest Service
Title: Small Business Timber Set-Aside Program: Appeal Procedures
on Recomputation of Shares.
OMB Control Number: 0596-0141.
Summary of Collection: The Forest Service (FS) administers the
Small Business Timber Sale Set-Aside Program in cooperation with the
Small Business Administration (SBA) under the authorities of the Small
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631), which establishes Federal policy
regarding assistance provided to small businesses; the National Forest
Management Act of 1976; the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C.
522); and SBA's regulations found at 13 CFR part 121. The Set-Aside
Program is designed to ensure that qualifying small business
manufacturers can purchase a fair portion of National Forest System
sawtimber offered for sale.
Need and Use of the Information: Under the program, the FS must re-
compute the shares of timber sales to be set aside for qualifying small
businesses every five years based on the actual volume of sawtimber
purchased by small businesses. Re-computation of shares must occur if
there is a change in manufacturing capability, if the purchaser size
class changes, or if certain purchaser(s) discontinue operations. The
appeal information is collected in writing and is possible, in most
locations to be sent via email and attached documents to a Forest
Service Officer. The collected information is reviewed by FS officials
who use the information to render decisions related to re-computations
of timber sale share to be set-aside for small business timber
purchasers.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 40.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 800.
