Accordingly, the review provisions of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and

Conclusion
The Forest Service is committed to
providing adequate opportunities for the
public to comment on administrative
directives that are of substantial public
interest or controversy, as provided in
the regulations at 36 CFR part 216.
Because it is important to provide Forest

integrated package, the agency issued
the ID’s on August 16, 2005, making
them effective immediately. However,
pursuant to 36 CFR 216.7, the Forest
Service is also requesting public
comment on the ID’s along with the
proposed directives.
All comments will be considered in
the development of final directives.
Paper copies are available upon
request from the address and phone

to find their best market opportunity.

respondents.

collection comprises 15 individual
surveys that are conducted 1, 2, 3, 4, 7,
or 12 times a year for an estimated total
of 50,000 responses. Public reporting

is estimated to average 18 minutes per
response.
Respondents: Farms and businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
