Forest Service
Title: Significant Cave Nomination.
OMB Control Number: 0596-0244.
Summary of Collection: The Federal Cave Resources Protection Act
(FCRPA) [Pub. L. 100-691, 107 Stat. 4546] requires the Secretaries of
Agriculture and Interior to identify and protect significant caves on
Federal lands within their respective jurisdictions. The information
covered in this collection applies to caves on Federal lands
administered by the Forest Service. The FCRPA does not define what
constitutes a ``significant'' cave, but it does require the
Secretaries, in cooperation and consultation with each other, to issue
regulations that define criteria for identification of significant
caves found at (16 U.S.C. 4303(a)).
Need and Use of the Information: In accordance with FCRPA, the FS
collects information from appropriate private sector interests,
including ``cavers,'' to update a list of significant caves under
USDA's jurisdiction. FS will use form FS-2800-0023 ``Significant Cave
Nomination Worksheet'' to collect name, address, telephone number of
individual or organization submitting the nomination and the individual
who is knowledgeable about the resources in the cave; name and location
of the cave, a discussion of how the cave meets the criteria, studies,
maps, research papers and other supporting documentation. If this
information is not collected FS might not become aware of potentially
significant caves' existence or have insufficient information upon
which to base a judgment as to their significance.
Description of Respondents: Individuals and households.
Number of Respondents: 10.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: One time.
Total Burden Hours: 110.
