Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Title: Foot-and-Mouth Disease Payment of Indemnity; Update of Provisions. OMB Control Number: 0579–0199 Summary of Collection: The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture administers regulations at 9 CFR part 53 that provides for the payment of indemnity to owners of animals that are required to be destroyed because of food-andmouth disease (FMD), and any other communicable disease of livestock or poultry that in the opinion of the Secretary of Agriculture constitutes an emergency and threatens the U.S. livestock or poultry population. The regulations authorize payments based on the fair market value of the animals destroyed, as well as payments for their destruction and disposal. Need and Use of the Information: Providing affected herd owners with appropriate compensation for the loss of their animals would entail the use of VS Form 1–23, All Species Appraisal & Indemnity Claim Form. APHIS will use the information provided on the form along with supporting documents to assist in verifying the quantity and value of animals or materials destroyed and the costs of their disposition, and the cost of cleaning and disinfecting. Collecting this information less frequently or failing to collect would make it difficult for APHIS to operate an FMD indemnity program. Description of Respondents: Farms; Individuals or households; Federal Government; State, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 1. Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion. Total Burden Hours: 1. Ruth Brown, Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Forest Service, as lead agency, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Defense, the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior; and the U.S. Geological Survey, propose to consolidate several existing, annual, agency-specific, cooperating and interpretive financial report forms for several Federal land management agencies. The purpose of consolidating the Federal financial forms from the cooperating agencies into one form is to provide a standard format and consistent reporting requirements for non-profit cooperators that may have agreements with several Federal agencies. DATES: Comments must be received in writing on or before September 6, 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 Kristen Nelson, Recreation and Heritage Resources Staff, Mail Stop 1125, Forest Service, USDA, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250– 1125. Due to potential delays in the Forest Service receiving and processing of mail sent through the U.S. Postal Service, respondents are encouraged to submit comments electronically to ensure timely receipt.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Nonprofit Organization Annual Report of Operations and Aid. OMB Number: 0596-New. Expiration Date of Approval: N/A. Type of Request: New. Abstract: For over 25 years, Federal agencies, such as the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service, have entered into agreements with non-profit organizations to serve visitors and meet their needs for quality guides, maps, and other education or interpretive literature. These non-profit organizations are frequently referred to as cooperating or interpretive associations and are mission-driven, private, non-profit organizations established under state law and adhering to applicable laws governing Federal tax-exempt 501(1)(3)(c) organizations. They assist Federal agencies primarily through selling educational and interpretive materials, providing information services, conducting educational programs and field institutes, and raising contributions to support the educational mission of these Federal land management agencies. This notice addresses issues raised by the associations and some of those noted in the 2002 GAO audit of the National Park Service. The Executive Directors of the associations identified the need for improving and streamlining the annual operational, aid and financial reporting requirements of the Federal agencies. They also noted that the use of a single form by all of the agencies would increase consistency in reporting by the associations and would alleviate duplicative efforts and the time burden for filing independent agencyspecific financial reports.
