SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Food Stamp Nutrition
Connection Recipe Submission and
Review Form.
OMB Number: 0518–0043.
Expiration Date: Three years from
date of approval.
Type of Request: Existing data
collection from Food Stamp nutrition
education providers.
Abstract: The National Agricultural
Library’s Food Stamp Nutrition
Connection (FSNC) https://
foodstamp.nal.usda.gov resource system
developed and maintains an on-line
recipe database, the Recipe Finder, as a
popular feature to the FSNC Web site.
The purpose of the Recipe Finder
database is to provide FSNE providers
with low-cost, easy to prepare, healthy
recipes for classes and demonstrations
with FSNE participants. FSNC staff rely
on these same educators to submit their
best recipes for review, analysis and
inclusion in the database. FSNC staff
and FSNE providers alike benefit from
the collecting and posting of feedback
on the individual recipes based on
educator experiences. Data collected
using the voluntary Submission Form
will help identify a person’s eligibility
to submit materials for this database.
The Recipe Finder Submission Form
allows FSNE providers to submit
recipes on-line, saving time and money
by eliminating the need to photocopy
and mail or fax recipes. Data collected
from the Recipe Review form will help
educators share their successes or
identify opportunities for added value
when incorporating these recipes into
their FSNE efforts.
This online submission form will
continue to serve as an efficient vehicle
which allows FSNC staff to
communicate with FSNE providers and
inform other interested parties of
healthy recipes that are appropriate for
low-income Americans.

Notice of intent to prepare an

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The USDA, Forest Service,
will prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS) on a proposed action to
address forest health and hazardous
fuels concerns within the 16,000-acre
planning area known as the Deadlog
Vegetation Project. The planning area is
located about 36 miles southeast of
Bend, Oregon; it is located in Township
22S, Range 15E, and Township 23S,
Ranges 14E and 15E. The alternatives
will include the proposed action, no

action, and additional alternatives that
respond to issues generated through the
scoping process. The agency will give
notice of the full environmental analysis
and decision-making process so
interested and affected people may
participate and contribute to the final
decision.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by 30
days following the date that this notice
appears in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to
Phil Cruz, District Ranger, Bend/Ft.

Responsible Official. The responsible
official will be John Allen, Forest
Supervisor, Deschutes National Forest,
P.O. Box 1645 Hwy 20 East, Bend, OR
97701.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Need. Many forest stands
in the project area are sustaining a
higher density of understory trees than
they would have historically and are
susceptible to bark beetle mortality.
Large diameter trees are unable to
compete with the younger, more
vigorous trees for available resources.
Also, understory trees and brush
combined with a high degree of buildup
of natural fuels on the forest floor are
contributing to the risk of
uncharacteristically severe fire behavior,
should a wildfire start in the planning
area. The purpose of the project is to:
• Manage stands of late old structure
ponderosa pine to promote
sustainability over the long term;
• In dense stands dominated by
ponderosa pine, return stands toward
historic conditions addressing tree
species composition, stocking levels and
resistance to insects, disease and fire
mortality;
• Reduce surface fuels throughout the
planning area to levels that will not
sustain stand replacement fires; manage
lodgepole pine stands to reduce the
acres susceptible to bark beetle
mortality;
• And reduce potential for the spread
of ponderosa pine dwarf mistletoe.
Proposed Action. The proposed
actions are intended to sustain,
enhance, and protect long-term
productivity and resiliency of the forest
ecosystem, and maintain and enhance
wildlife habitat. Proposed actions
include selection harvest, commercial
thinning, small tree thinning and ladder
