Forest Service
Title: Storage and Use of Explosives and Magazine Security on
National Forest System Lands Under a Special Use Authorization.
OMB Control Number: 0596-0252.
Summary of Collection: Existing directives in the Forest Service
Manual and Handbook are being revised to improve security and
administration of explosive magazines and explosives use that are
authorized under a special use authorization. The revisions clarify
that all non-Forest Service storage and use of explosives, including
use and storage of military weapons and ammunition for purposes of
avalanche mitigation on National Forest System lands, must be
authorized by a special use authorization that contains clause B-29 in
Forest Service Handbook 2709.11,
[[Page 3967]]
Chapter 50, section 52.2, on storage and use of explosives and magazine
security. Clause B-29 requires authorization holders to comply with
applicable United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, state, or Department of the Army
requirements and applicable Forest Service requirements.
Need and Use of the Information: To allow the Forest Service to
monitor holder compliance with clause B-29, the revised directives
require holders of an authorization containing the clause to submit
certain documentation annually as part of their operating plan. The
required documentation includes copies of a log containing the date and
type of magazine inspections (including inspections required every
seven days) and the date all deficiencies identified in any magazine
inspection report were corrected; copies of any magazine inspection
reports; a copy of the holder's current ATF-issued federal explosives
license or federal explosives permit, if applicable; and a copy of a
log containing the date of the most recent magazine lock and key
replacement.
Description of Respondents: Holders of a special use authorization
authorizing the storage and use of explosives.
Number of Respondents: 60.
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 10.
Forest Service
Title: Community Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG) Program.
OMB Contol Number: 0596-0253.
Summary of Collection: The Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program
forms will be used by applicants to apply for the Community Wildfire
Defense Grant (CWDG) Program. The purpose of the CWDG Program is to
assist at-risk local communities and Indian Tribes with planning and
mitigating against the risk created by wildfire. This program is
authorized in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-
58), commonly referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).
Specifically, the CWDG Program is provided for in Title VIII, Section
40803. There are two primary project types for which the grant provides
funding: the development and revision of Community Wildfire Protection
Plans (CWPP) and the implementation of projects described in a CWPP
that is less than ten years old. The Act prioritizes at-risk
communities that are in an area identified as having high or very high
wildfire hazard potential, are low-income, and/or have been impacted by
a severe disaster.
Need and Use of the Information: Information collected includes
name of organization, type of land work where will be performed, how
project addresses State Forest Action Plan and the Cohesive Wildland
Fire Management Strategy, if the community is considered underserved,
amount of Federal funds requested and any non-Federal matching funds,
name of lead agency/organization (if any), grant period, project
narrative, project budget, project outcomes, how project will be
maintained, and other miscellaneous information. This information is
collected from any entity who voluntarily applies for Forest Service
funding and wishes to participate in the program. This information is
used by the Forest Service to determine which projects will be funded
by the Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program.
Description of Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions; State,
Local, Tribal governments.
Number of Respondents: 1,440.
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 9,870.
