Summary of Collection: This information collection is used by the
Forest Service to evaluate and ensure that authorized uses of National
Forest System (NFS) lands are in the public interest and are compatible
with the agency's mission. The information helps the agency identify
environmental and social impacts of special uses for purposes of

program administration. In addition, the agency uses the information to
ascertain whether the land use fee being charged for special use
authorizations is based on market value. The information is collected
through application forms and terms and conditions in special use
authorizations and operating plans. Ongoing uses must be monitored to
ensure compliance with the terms of the corresponding authorizations.
In certain situations, information from the authorization holder is the
only way the Forest Service can verify compliance with the terms of an
authorization.
Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is used
to issue permits and leases, enforce compliance with agreements, and
reports are generated to ensure fees are paid (Such as Recreation
Residence Cabins) & to monitor growth of the Special Use Program, this
helps with budget forecasting & program development.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 3,233.
Frequency of Responses: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 25,864.
