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: Interested parties are asked to
provide information that includes the purchaser's name and address, the
location and dimensions of the area to be mined, the kind and quantity
of material to be mined, the sales price of the mined material, the
payment schedule, amount of the bond, and the period of the contract.
Collected information from the public will ensure that environmental
impacts of mineral material disposal are minimized. A review of the
operating plan provides the authorized officer the opportunity to
determine if the proposed operation is appropriate and consistent with
all applicable land management laws and regulations. The information
also provides the means of documenting planned operations and the terms
and conditions that the FS deems necessary to protect surface
resources. If FS did not collect this information, operations could
cause undue damage to surface resources.
Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 4,109.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 11,125.
