Forest Service
Title: Non-Timber Forest Products
Generic for Surveys, Interviews, and
Focus Groups.
OMB Control Number: 0596–New.
Summary of Collection: Many laws
and policies specifically direct the
USDA Forest Service (FS) to consider
and manage for non-timber forest
products for the benefit of the American
public and to meet trust responsibilities
to American Indians and Alaskan
Natives on federal and tribal lands.
Primary authorities to collect
information include the Multiple-Use
Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 that
requires the FS to manage national
forests ‘‘under principles of multiple
use and to produce a sustained yield of
products and services.’’ The Forest and
Rangeland Renewable Resources
Planning Act of 1974 requires the
Secretary of Agriculture to ‘‘maintain a
comprehensive inventory of renewable
resources and evaluate opportunities to
improve their yield of goods and
services. The 2012 Planning Rule
specifically requires ‘‘consideration of
habitat conditions for wildlife, fish, and
plants commonly enjoyed and used by
the public for hunting, fishing, trapping,
gathering, observing, and subsistence’’
on national forests.
Need and Use of the Information:
Surveys, interviews, and focus groups
administered under this generic
collection will be designed to collect
information from individuals and
groups who forage for non-timber forest
products and from natural resource
professionals who manage land where
non-timber forest products foraging
takes place. Non-timber forest products

harvested for use as food, medicine, and
other purposes are plants, mushrooms,
and plant- or tree-derived goods like
nuts, boughs, sap, and leaves. The FS
and other land management agencies
will not have a scientific basis for
managing non-timber forest product
resources and the lands that support
them without this information. Also, FS
will not have the necessary information
to provide technical advice on this issue
to other land management agencies and
individuals.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households; Non-profit
organizations and State, Local and
Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 14,250.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
One time.
Total Burden Hours: 5,613.

Type of Request: Revision to and

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act
(PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes
the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict
the importation, entry, or interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States. As authorized
by the PPA, the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service regulates the
importation of certain fruits and
vegetables in accordance with the
regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1 through
319.56–76).
Section 319.56–68 provides the
requirements for the importation of
female squash flowers from Israel into
the continental United States. This
commodity may be imported under
certain conditions to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States. The regulations require
information collection activities,
including production site registration,
trapping records, box marking,
production site inspection, and
phytosanitary certificates.
