SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Recreation Fee Permit Envelope. OMB Number: 0596–0106. Expiration Date of Approval: September 1, 2009. Type of Request: Extension with Revision. Abstract: The Federal Lands Recreation and Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6801–6814) authorizes the Forest Service to collect recreation fees for use of government facilities and services. The FS–2300–26, Recreation Fee Envelope, is a form used to document when visitors pay a required recreation fee. Currently, information collected for FS–2300–26 includes the amount enclosed in the envelope, number of days paid, time and date of purchase, visitor’s vehicle license number and registered state, visitor’s home ZIP-code, number in party, other charges (if applicable), visitor’s Golden Passport or Interagency Pass Number (if applicable) and planned departure date, if applicable. The Forest Service is not proposing to change this information. Also collected for FS–2300–26 is selected camp unit number (if applicable). The Forest Service proposes changing this collection to specify the PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 9383 type of camp unit in addition to the number (single campsite selected, or group campsite selected, and number in group campsite.) The Forest Service proposes adding optional site- and activity-specific information to this collection, including a selection of the visitor’s activity (site name, general recreation use, swim site, off highway vehicle, river use, trailhead, concessionaire-operated site, other). This information is used to ensure that visitors have paid a required recreation fee. The information will be collected by federal employees and agents who are authorized to collect the recreation fees or rent government facilities. A national forest may use ZIP codes to help determine where the national forest’s visitor base originates. Activity information may be used to improve services. Personal information such as names, addresses, and vehicle registration will not be maintained. Collecting this information is important to ensure that the national forests are able to evaluate whether a visitor has paid a required recreation fee. If unable to collect this information, national forests would not be able to verify who has paid a recreation fee. National forests would not be able to schedule and rent government-owned facilities to the public successfully. Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 minutes. Type of Respondents: Individuals. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 2 million. Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,666 hours. Comment is invited on: (1) Whether this collection of information is necessary for the stated purposes and the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical or scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Withdrawal of Notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement. The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of information under the emergency provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Agency: National Telecommunications and Information Administration. Title: Message Testing Focus Groups and Interviews for the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Program. OMB Control Number: None. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Emergency submission. Number of Respondents: 328. Average Hours per Response: 90 minutes. Burden Hours: 492. Needs and Uses: Congress directed the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to create and implement a program to provide coupons for consumers to purchase digital-to-analog converter boxes. These converter boxes are necessary for consumers who wish to continue receiving broadcast programming over the air using analogonly television sets after February 17, 2009—the date that television stations are required by law to cease analog broadcasting. Since September 2007, NTIA has been conducting a consumer education campaign to educate U.S. residents who receive over-the-air broadcasts on analog television sets about the digital television transition and the TV Converter Box Coupon Program. While awareness of the coupon program has been nationally reported, more than five million households were completely unprepared as of February 2009. On February 11, 2009, the President signed the DTV Delay Act into law changing the date by which all full-power television stations must cease analog broadcasts to June 12, 2009. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: On May 9, 2006, Federal Register (Volume 71, Number 89, [Page 26921–26923]), the USDA Forest Service, Plumas National Forest announced its intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to eradicate populations of the noxious weed tall whitetop (Lepidium Iatifoliuin), along the Middle Fork of the Feather River. The proposed Federal action in this EIS was to use a three-step process to ensure the successful eradication of tallwhite top. One of the steps involved the use of herbicides. The EIS would have evaluated the environmental effects associated with these actions and any reasonable alternatives. The notice of intent to prepare an EIS is withdrawn. The Plumas National Forest will continue the NEPA process by preparing an Environmental Assessment to evaluate the environmental effects of a new proposed action.

This effort would lead in the development of new messages and materials to reach these consumers.
