Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
August 5, 2008.
The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments
regarding: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of burden including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology should be addressed to: Desk
Officer for Agriculture, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB),
OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or
fax (202) 395–5806 and to Departmental
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail
Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250–
7602. Comments regarding these
information collections are best assured

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 154 / Friday, August 8, 2008 / Notices
Secretary of Agriculture and the
Secretary of the Interior to plan and
conduct hazardous fuels reduction
projects on National Forest System and
Bureau of Land Management Lands. The
Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife
Service, and many State agencies with
fire protection responsibilities have
undertaken a very ambitious and
expensive forest fuels reduction
program. The Forest Service (FS) and
university researchers will contact
recipients of a phone/mail questionnaire
to help forest and fire managers
understand value trade-offs regarding
fire hazard reduction programs in the
wildland-urban interface.
Need and Use of the Information:
Through the questionnaire, researchers
will evaluate the responses of Florida
residents to different scenarios related
to fire hazard reduction programs, how
residents think the programs presented
to them are effective, and calculate how
much residents would be willing to pay
to implement the alternatives. The
collected information will help
researchers provide better information
to natural resources, forest, and fire
managers when they are contemplating
the kind and type of fire hazard
reduction program to implement to
achieve forest land management
planning objectives. Without the
information the agencies with fire
protection responsibilities will lack the
capability to evaluate the general public
understanding of proposed fuels
reduction projects and programs or their
willingness to pay for implementing
such programs.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 500.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Other (One time only).
Total Burden Hours: 317.
