Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 167 / Monday, August 31, 2009 / Notices
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program Application for
Stores—Reauthorization.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture is the Federal
agency responsible for the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) formerly known as the
Food Stamp Program. The Food and
Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2011–
2036), as codified under 7 CFR Parts 278
and 279, requires that the FNS
determine the eligibility of retail food
stores and certain food service
organizations to accept and redeem
SNAP benefits, to monitor them for
compliance and continued eligibility,
and to sanction stores for noncompliance with the Act.
Need and Use of the Information: FNS
will collect information using form
FNS–252–R, ‘‘Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program Reauthorization
Application for Stores’’. Information is
collected primarily for use by FNS in
the administration of the SNAP. FNS
field offices review a firm’s application
in order to determine whether or not
applicants meet eligibility requirements
and make determinations whether to
grant or deny authorization to accept
SNAP benefits. FNS is also responsible
for requiring updates to application
information and reviewing that
information to determine whether or not
the firms or services continue to meet
eligibility requirements.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 27,878.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 3,259.

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
44815
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

permit.
While no information over and above
that collected on the FS–7700–40 is
collected on the FS–7700–41, the FS–
7700–41 is also an OMB approved form.
The approval number is OMB 0596–

Type of Respondents: Commercial
users of National Forest System roads.
Estimated Annual Number of

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.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a

other government agencies to administer
programs and to set trade quotas and
tariffs. State universities and agriculture
departments also use data from this
survey.

this authority are governed by Section 1770
of the Food Security Act of 1985 as amended,
7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to afford
strict confidentiality to non-aggregated data
provided by respondents. This Notice is
submitted in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–113) and
Office of Management and Budget regulations
at 5 CFR part 1320 (60 FR 44978, August 29,

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 15 minutes per
response with a frequency of once a
year.
Respondents: Farmers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
9,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: With an estimated
response rate of approximately 80%, we
