under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
regarding (a) 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; (b) the accuracy
of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) 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 February
27, 2013 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to:
Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office
Building, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC, 20503. Commentors are
encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to: [email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-
7602. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-
8681.
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: Objection to New Land Management Plans, Plan Amendments, and
Plan Revisions
OMB Control Number: 0596-0158.
Summary of Collection: The process for submitting objections to new
land management plans, plan amendments, and plan revisions is set forth
in 36 CFR part 219, subpart B. An objector must provide their name,
mailing address, telephone number, and identify the specific proposed
plan, amendment, or revision that is the subject of the objection. This
is the minimum information needed for a citizen or organization to
explain the nature of and rational for objections to new land
management plans, plan amendments, and plan revisions.
This information must accompany a concise statement explaining how
the environmental disclosure documents, if any, and proposed plan,
amendment, or revision are inconsistent with law, regulation, Executive
Order, or policy and any recommendations for change. The Reviewing
Officer then reviews the objection(s) and relevant information and
responds to the objector(s) in writing.
Need and Use of the Information: The information collected
(objections to new land management plans, plan amendments, and plan
revisions) is analyzed and responded to by a Forest Service official.
At times, this information is used to modify land and resource
management planning decisions. Forest supervisors and regional forests
that make decisions on land and resource management planning also use
the information. Without this information, the agency's decision-making
will suffer from a reduction in public input and agency relationships
with the public will deteriorate.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households; Business or
other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 36.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (once).
Total Burden Hours: 360.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
