DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding: whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques
and other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by November
2, 2023 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days
of the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Forest Service
Title: Disposal of Mineral Materials.
OMB Control Number: 0596-0081.
Summary of Collection: The Forest Service (FS) is responsible for
overseeing the management of National Forest System land. The Multiple-
Use Mining Act of 1955 (30 U.S.C. 601, 603, 611-615) gives the FS
specific authority to manage the disposal of mineral materials mined
from National Forest land. FS uses form FS-2800-9, ``Contract for the
Sale of Mineral Materials'' to collect detailed information on the
planned mining and disposal operations as well as a contract for the
sale of mineral materials.
Need and Use of the Information: The collected information enables
the Forest Service to document planned operations, to prescribe the
terms and conditions the agency deems necessary to protect surface
resources, and to affect a binding contract agreement. Forest Service
employees will evaluate the collected information to ensure that
entities applying to mine mineral materials are financially accountable
and will conduct their activities in accordance with the mineral
regulations of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, part 228, subpart
C (36 CFR part 228).
If this information is not collected, the Forest Service would be
unable to comply with Federal regulations to mine mineral materials,
and operations could cause undue damage to surface resources.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 2,722.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: on occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 7,040.
