Forest Service
Title: Forest Products Free Use
Permit, Forest Products Removal Permit
and Cash Receipt, and Forest Products
Sale Permit and Cash Receipt.
OMB Control Number: 0596–0085.
Summary of Collection: Individuals or
other Federal agencies that wish to
remove forest products from the
National Forest must request a permit.
16 U.S.C. 551 requires the promulgation
of regulations to regulate forest use and
prevent destruction of the forests. To
obtain a permit, applicants must meet
the criteria at 36 CFR 223.1, 223.2 and
223.5 through 223.13 under which free
use or sale of timber or forest products
is authorized. Upon receiving a permit,
the permittee must comply with the
terms of the permit at 36 CFR 216.6 that
designate the forest products that can be
harvested and under what conditions,
such as limiting harvest to a designated
area or permitting harvest of only
specifically designated material. The
collection of information is required to
determine if the applicant meets the
criteria under which free use or sale of
forest products is authorized by the
regulations and to ensure that the
permittee complies with the regulations
and terms of the permit. This
information is also needed to allow
Forest Service (FS) compliance
personnel to identify permittees in the
field.
Need and Use of the Information: FS
will collect the name, address and tax
identification number from person
applying for permits. The information
will be used by FS to keep a record of
persons buying forest products. The
information will also be used to ensure
that the permittee has not received
product values in excess of the amount
allowed by regulation in any one fiscal
year. Without the forest product
removal program, achieving multiple
use management programs such as
reducing fire hazard and improving
forest health on the National Forest
would be impaired.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households; Business or
other for-profit.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Forest Service is seeking comments
from all interested individuals and
organizations on a new, one-time
information collection, Evaluating
Community Knowledge, Beliefs,
Attitudes and Preferences Concerning
Fire and Fuels Management in
Southwestern Forest, Woodland and
Grassland Ecosystems. This collection
effort is necessary to obtain information
from the citizens of Arizona and New
Mexico. The information provided by
this study will allow USDA Forest
Service land managers to better
understand the public’s knowledge,
beliefs, attitudes and preferences
regarding fire and fuels management
issues in Region 3 of the USDA Forest
Service. This information will assist
Forest Service land managers in their
efforts to interact more effectively with
the public and manage the risks
associated with wildland fire.
DATES: Comments must be received in
writing on or before August 22, 2005 to
be assured of consideration. Comments
received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning this
notice should be addressed to Dr. Carol

Title: Evaluating Community
Knowledge, Beliefs, Attitudes and
Preferences Concerning Fire and Fuels
Management in Southwestern Forest,
Woodland and Grassland Ecosystems.
OMB Number: 0596–New.
Expiration Date of Approval: New.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: Although fire is increasingly
recommended as a fuels reduction tool
on both public and private lands,
controversy often inhibits its use.
Insufficient communication and
understanding between land managers
and the public frequently contribute to
these difficulties. If managers do not
have adequate information concerning
public attitudes and actions concerning
wildfire risk reduction behaviors (for
example, creating defensible space on
their properties by clearing brush and
trees from a 30-foot area around the
residence), then managers may not make
well-informed decisions concerning
appropriate communication techniques
and needed public education
information. In order to design and
implement successful, socially
acceptable fire and fuels management
policies and programs, managers need
to better understand the public’s
knowledge, attitudes and practices
concerning wildfire. This project will
collect information from the general
public residing in Arizona and New
Mexico. This type of information from
these two states is important given the
fire and fuels management decisions
facing land managers in this area.
The information will be collected
using a mail survey of households
located in Arizona and New Mexico.
Households will be randomly selected
based upon addresses in the two states.
Participation in the survey is strictly
voluntary.
The survey will be administered by a
firm operating under a Research Joint
Venture with the USDA Forest Service,
Rocky Mountain Research Station in
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The type of information collected will
include: (1) Attitudes and preferences
toward wildfire and fire management
alternatives for public lands, (2) risk
reduction behaviors that homeowners
and individuals have undertaken to
minimize wildfire risk, (3) sources of
information regarding wildfires and

wildfire risk reduction, and (4) socioeconomic information. The data
collected will then be analyzed by
researchers at the Rocky Mountain
Research Station and cooperators. The
results will be made available to land
managers, the surveyed public, and
other interested parties. This
information will enhance the ability of
decision makers to communicate and
understand the public and their
preferences regarding fire and fuels
management in Arizona and New
Mexico. Without this type of
information decision makers and the
public will continue to interact on the
issues without a broad-based
understanding of the factors that are
important to the general public of
Arizona and New Mexico.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 20
minutes.
Type of Respondents: Individuals
residing in Arizona and New Mexico.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 2000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 667 hours.
Comment is Invited
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission request toward Office of
Management and Budget approval.
Dated: June 16, 2005.
