SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Specialty Sugar Import
Certificates.
OMB Number: 0551–0025.
Expiration Date of Approval: March
31, 2008.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The quota system
established by Presidential
Proclamation 4941 of May 5, 1982
prevented the importation of certain
sugars used for specialized purposes
which originated in countries which did
not have quota allocations. Therefore,
the regulation at 15 CFR part 2011
(Allocation of Tariff-Rate Quota on
Imported Sugars, Syrups, and Molasses,
Subpart B—Specialty Sugar) established
terms and conditions under which
certificates are issued permitting U.S.
importers holding certificates to enter
specialty sugars from specialty sugar
source countries at the in-quota tariff
rates under the sugar tariff-rate quota
(TRQ). Nothing in this subpart affects
the ability to enter specialty sugars at
the over-quota tariff rate. Applicants for
certificates for the import of specialty
sugars must supply the information
required by 15 CFR 2011.205 to be
eligible to receive a specialty sugar
certificate. The specific information
required on an application must be
collected from those who wish to
participate in the program in order to
grant specialty sugar certificates, ensure
that imported specialty sugar does not
disrupt the current domestic sugar
program, and administer the issuance of
the certificates effectively.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 2 hours per
response.
Respondents: Importers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
30.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 60 hours.

Certain Polyalcohols.
OMB Number: 0551–0015.
Expiration Date of Approval: March
31, 2008.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
Sugar Import Licensing Program is to
permit entry of raw cane sugar
unrestricted by the quantitative limit
established by the sugar tariff-rate quota
for re-export in refined form or in a
sugar containing product or for the
production of certain polyhydric
alcohols. These programs are in use by
as many as 250 licensees currently
eligible to participate. Under 7 CFR part
1530, licensees are required to submit
the following: (1) ‘‘Application for a
license’’ information required for
participation as set forth in section
1530.104 (2) ‘‘Regular reporting’’ of
import, export, transfer, or use for
charges and credits to licenses under

‘‘miscellaneous submission’’ of bonds or
letters of credit under section 1530.107,
appeals to determinations by the
licensing authority under section
1530.112, or requests to the licensing
authority for waivers under section
1530.113. In addition, each participant
must maintain records on all program
reports as set forth in section 1530.110.
The information collected is used by the
licensing authority to manage, plan,
evaluate, and account for program
activities. The reports and records are
required to ensure the proper operations
of these programs.
Estimate of Burden: (1) ‘‘Application
for a license’’ would require 20 hours
per response: (2) ‘‘regular reporting’’
would require between 10 and 15
minutes per transaction with the
number of transactions varying per
respondent; and (3) ‘‘miscellaneous
submission’’ would require between 1
or 2 hours per bond or letter of credit,
2 to 10 hours per waiver request, and 10
to 100 hours per appeal.
Respondents: Sugar refiners,
manufacturers of sugar containing
products and producers of polyhydric
alcohol.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
250.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: New/Renew License: 1;
Regular reporting: 75 transactions,
average; Miscellaneous: Bonds/letters of
credit: 1; Waiver requests: 1; Appeals: 1.

Forest Service
Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites;
Federal Lands Recreation
Enhancement Act (Title VIII, Public Law
108–447)
Boise National Forest, USDA
Forest Service.
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee
sites.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Boise National Forest is
planning to charge fees at 22 recreation
sites. Fees are assessed based on the
level of amenities and services
provided, cost of operation and
maintenance, market assessment, and
public comment. The fees listed are
currently proposed and will be
determined upon further analysis and
public comment. Funds from fees would
be used for the continued operation and
maintenance of these recreation sites.
Swanholm and Rice Peak Lookouts,
along with cabins at the Landmark
Ranger Station and Johnson Creek
Guard Station will be available for
overnight rental. A fee study, financial
analysis, and public involvement efforts
were completed. As a result, cabin
PO 00000

rental fees would range between $30
and $50 per night. Lookout, ranger, and
guard station rentals offer a unique
experience and are a widely popular
offering on National Forests. The
Landmark Ranger Station is eligible for
listing on the National Register of
Historic Places and is being restored to
its original purpose as a working Forest
Service administrative site, and to adapt
the compound for public use and
enjoyment. Fees would continue to help
protect and maintain all these
administrative structures and their
historic integrity. The cabin rentals
would be available once a final decision
is made and they are listed with the
National Recreation Reservation Service
which would be in May of 2008 at the
earliest.
New $5 day use fees are also proposed
for the Arrowrock and Campbell Creek
boating access sites and the Granite
Creek picnic site. These fees will help
address the deferred maintenance
needs, such as substandard boat docks
at both of the boating sites as well as
general operation and maintenance
needs at all three sites. The Granite
Creek picnic site also serves as a
trailhead for an important interpretive
trail in the summer and groomed
snowmobile trail access in the winter.
Amenities include covered picnic
shelters, a toilet, and interpretive
exhibits.
Fees are proposed at 15 campgrounds
including Badger Creek, Castle Creek,
Cottonwood, Evans Creek, Little Roaring
River Lake, Troutdale, Bald Mountain,
Neinmeyer, Powerplant, Queens River,
Riverside, Golden Gate, Ice Hole, Penny
Springs, and Yellow Pine campgrounds.
Many of these sites have been improved
with new toilets and picnic tables over
the last 8 to 10 years and additional
income is needed for their continued
operation and maintenance. A fee study,
financial analysis, and public
involvement efforts were completed in
the spring and summer of 2007 in an
effort to determine campground fees
across the Boise National Forest,
including both existing fee
campgrounds as well as those proposed
for new fees. Fees at campgrounds are
proposed to be $15 at sites that provide
both drinking and water and trash
removal and $12 at sites that do not
provide both of these amenities. A $5
day use fee is also proposed at some
sites.
New fees would begin in May
2007 and contingent upon completion
of certain improvements at a few sites.
