Service Manual (FSM) 2070 for native
plant materials, which will provide
direction for the use, growth,
development, and storage of native
plant materials. Public comment is
invited and will be considered in
development of the final directive. A
copy of the proposed directive is
available at https://www.fs.fed.us/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 36
CFR 219.10(b) states: ‘‘The overall goal
of the ecological element of
sustainability is to provide a framework
to contribute to sustaining native
ecological systems by providing
ecological conditions to support
diversity of native plant and animal
species in the plan area.’’ Executive
Order 13112 (February 3, 1999, sec.
2(a)(2)(IV)) on invasive species states
the agencies will ‘‘provide for
restoration of native species and habitat
conditions in ecosystems that have been
invaded [by non-native species].’’ In
accordance with the executive order and
regulation, the Forest Service is
developing a new proposed directive to
Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2070,
Native Plant Materials, which addresses
the uses of native plant materials in the
revegetation, restoration, and
rehabilitation of National Forest System
lands in order to achieve the Agency’s
goal of providing for the diversity of
plant and animal communities. The
proposed policy would direct
collaboration with Federal, State, and
local government entities and the public
to develop and implement a program for
native plant materials for use in
revegetation, restoration, and
rehabilitation.
In proposing this new policy, the
Forest Service’s goal is to promote the
use of native plant materials in
revegetation for restoration and
rehabilitation in order to manage and
conserve terrestrial and aquatic
biological diversity. The proposed
policy defines a native plant as: all
indigenous terrestrial and aquatic plant
species that evolved naturally in an
ecosystem. The proposed policy also
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
42079
requires the use of best available
information to choose ecologically
adapted plant materials for the site and
situation. Further, the proposed policy
states that native plants are to be used
when timely natural regeneration of the
native plant community is not likely to
occur; native plant materials are the first
choice in revegatation for restoration
and rehabilitation efforts. Nonnative,
non-invasive plant species may be used
when needed: (1) In emergency
conditions to protect basic resource
values such as soil stability and water
quality; (2) as an interim, non-persistent
measure designed to aid in new
establishment of native plants (unless
natural soil, water and biotic conditions
have been permanently altered); (3)
native plant species are not available;
and (4) when working in permanently
altered plant communities. Under no
circumstances will nonnative invasive
plant species be used.
When the proposed policy is issued as
final, the Forest Service will: (1)
Undertake a comprehensive assessment
of needs (type and amount) for native
plant materials; (2) invest in a long-term
commitment to research and
development, education, and
technology transfer for native plant
materials; (3) expand efforts to increase
the availability of native plant materials;
and (4) collaborate with other federal
agencies; tribal, State, and local
governments; academic institutions; and
the private sector.

collection of information under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: Bureau of Economic
Analysis.
Title: Survey of Ocean Freight
Revenues and Foreign Expenses of
United States Carriers (BE–30) and
Survey of U.S. Airline Operators’
Foreign Revenues and Expenses (BE–
37).
Form Number(s): BE–30/BE–37.
Agency Approval Number: 0608–
0011.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Burden: 780 hours (BE–30); 304 hours
(BE–37).
Number of Respondents: 39 per
quarter; 156 annually (BE–30); 19 per
quarter; 76 annually (BE–37).
Average Hours Per Response: 5 hours
(BE–30); 4 hours (BE–37).
Needs and Uses: The Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA) is responsible
for the compilation of the U.S.
international transactions accounts
(ITA), which it publishes quarterly in
news releases, on its web site, and in its
monthly journal, the Survey of Current
Business. These accounts provide a
statistical summary of all U.S.
international transactions and, as such,
are one of the major statistical products
of BEA. They are used extensively by
both government and private
organizations for national and
international economic policy
formulation and for analytical purposes.
The information collected in these
surveys is used to develop the
‘‘transportation’’ portion of the ITA.
Without this information, an integral
component of the ITA would be
omitted. No other Government agency
collects comprehensive quarterly data
on U.S. ocean carriers’ freight revenues
and foreign expenses or U.S. airline
operators’ foreign revenues and
expenses.
These surveys request information
from U.S. ocean and air carriers engaged
in international transportation of goods
and/or passengers. The information is
collected on a quarterly basis from U.S.
ocean and air carriers whose total
annual covered revenues or total annual
covered expenses are, or are expected to
be, $500,000 or more. U.S. ocean and air
carriers whose total annual covered
revenues and total annual covered
expenses are, or are expected to be, each
below $500,000 are exempt from
reporting.
Affected Public: U.S. ocean and air
carriers.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
