Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Public Law 104–13, section 2,
109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised
at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR Part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60 days’ notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval of
such activities by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
Specifically, the Board invites interested
respondents to comment on the
following summary of proposed
information collection activities
regarding (i) Whether the information
collection activities are necessary for the
Board to properly execute its functions;

minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public.
Below is a brief summary of the
proposed information collection:
Title of Collection:
FederalReporting.gov Recipient
Registration System.
OMB Control No.: 0430–0002.
Description: Section 1512 of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, Public Law 111–5, 123 Stat.
115 (Recovery Act), requires recipients
of Recovery Act funds to report on the
use of those funds. These reports are to
be submitted to FederalReporting.gov,
and certain information from these
reports will later be posted to the
publically available Web site
Recovery.gov.
The FederalReporting.gov Recipient
Registration System (FRRS) was
developed to protect the Board and
FederalReporting.gov users from
individuals seeking to gain
unauthorized access to user accounts on
FederalReporting.gov. FRRS is used for
the purpose of verifying the identity of
the user; allowing users to establish an
account on FederalReporting.gov;
providing users access to their
FederalReporting.gov account for
reporting data; allowing users to
customize, update, or terminate their
accounts with FederalReporting.gov;
renewing or revoking a user’s account
on FederalReporting.gov, thereby
protecting FederalReporting.gov and
FederalReporting.gov users from
potential harm caused by individuals
with malicious intentions gaining
unauthorized access to the system.
To assist in this goal, FRRS will
collect a registrant’s name, email
address, telephone number and
extension, three security questions and
answers, and, by way of a DUNS
number, organization information. The
person registering for
FederalReporting.gov will generate a
self-assigned password that will be
stored on the FRRS, but will only be
accessible to the registering individual.
Affected Public: Private sector and
state, local, and tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: 150,961.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Application for Permit, NonFederal Commercial Use of Roads
Restricted by Order
OMB Number: 0596–0016.
Expiration Date of Approval: Three
years after OMB approves the
information collection.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection
Abstract: Authority for road use
permits is derived from the National
Forest Roads and Trails Act (Pub. L. 88–
657, 16 U.S.C. 532–538, as amended).
The law authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to establish procedures for
sharing investments in roads and to
require commercial users to perform
road maintenance commensurate with
their use of roads. Detailed
implementing regulations are contained
in Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations,
sections 212.5, 212.9, and 261.54. Title
36, CFR 212.5 and 212.9 authorizes the
Chief of the Forest Service to establish
procedures for investment sharing and
to require commercial users to perform
road maintenance commensurate with
use. Title 36, CFR 261.54 contains a
national prohibition against using a

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

National Forest System road for
commercial hauling without a permit or
written authorization when so provided
by order. Forest Service policies
implementing the regulations are found
in Forest Service Manual chapter 7730
and Forest Service Handbook 7709.59,
chapter 24. The policies require forest
supervisors to enter into appropriate
investment sharing arrangements, to
require commercial users of National
Forest System roads to perform road
maintenance commensurate with their
use, and to issue orders that implement
the national prohibition at 36 CFR
261.54. These policies assure that those
commercial haulers not already
operating under investment and
maintenance sharing provisions
contained in Forest Service permits and
contracts will obtain road use permits.
The road use permits they obtain
contain requirements for maintenance
and investment sharing.
FS–7700–40—Application for Permit
for Non-Federal Commercial Use of
Roads Restricted by Order. This form is
used by individuals, corporations, or
organizations that apply for a permit to
use National Forest System roads for
non-Federal commercial use. The
following information is collected: (1)
Name, address, and telephone number;
(2) identification by Forest Service route
number of roads to be used; (3) purpose
of use; (4) use schedule; and (5) plans
for future use. The requester submits the
information to the forest supervisor or
district ranger responsible for the
National Forest System roads on which
commercial vehicular use is requested.
Engineering personnel on the staff of the
responsible National Forest System unit
evaluate the information. The
information is used by the local offices
to identify road maintenance required as
a direct result of the applicant’s
vehicular traffic and to calculate the
applicant’s commensurate share of road
maintenance. The information is also
used to calculate collections for
recovery of past Federal investments in
roads when that method of sharing
investment is appropriate. The
information is only used by the Forest
Service’s local offices. It is not reported
to or summarized at higher levels of the
organization.
The identifying information collected
on FS–7700–40 is used on FS–7700–
41—Road Use Permit to identify the
permittee and the routes authorized for
use. Road maintenance requirements,
road use schedules, and any necessary
fees developed from the data submitted
on FS–7700–40 are also included in
provisions of the 7700–41. A copy of the
7700–41 must be carried in commercial
