Title: Secure Rural Schools Act,
County Certification of Title III
Expenditures.
OMB Number: 0596—NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: 3 years
from OMB approval date.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: The Secure Rural Schools
and Community Self-Determination Act
of 2000 (the Act), as reauthorized in
Public Law 110–343 requires the
appropriate official of a county that
receives funds under Title III of the Act
to submit to the respective Secretary
(the Secretary of Agriculture or the
Secretary of the Interior), an annual
certification that funds have been
expended for the uses authorized under
section 302(a) of the Act.
The appropriate official of each
participating county will be required to
report the amount of Title III funds
expended in the applicable calendar
year in these categories, as described in
the Act:

(1) To carry out activities under the
Firewise Communities program.
(2) To reimburse the participating
county for emergency services
performed on Federal land and paid for
by the participating county.
(3) To develop community wildfire
protection plans in coordination with
the appropriate Secretary.
This information collection will
identify the participating county and the
year in which the expenditures were
made, and will include the name, title,
and signature of the certifying official,
and the date of the certification. The
certification will include a statement
that all expenditures were for proposals
that had a publication and comment
period, and were submitted to any
resource advisory committee for the
county, as described in section 302(b) of
the Act.
This information will be collected in
the form of conventional
correspondence such as a letter, and at
the respondent’s option, attached tables,
or similar graphic display. At the
respondent’s discretion, the information
may be submitted by hard copy, and/or
electronically scanned, and included as
an attachment to electronic mail.
The determination of the appropriate
certifying official is at the discretion of
the county or borough and will vary
depending on county or borough
organization. For unorganized boroughs
in Alaska, the appropriate State official
may provide the information.
The Forest Service, U.S. Department
of Agriculture, and the Bureau of Land
Management, Department of the
Interior, will collect this information
from counties that participate in Title III
of the State payment made by the Forest
Service and the Bureau of Land
Management as described in the Act.
Under the Act, responses are required
by February 1, following each year Title
III funds are expended. The first
response is required by February 1,
2010, for funds expended in calendar
year 2009. Because the authority to
obligate county funds under Title III
expires September 30, 2012, most of the
expenditures are expected to be made
by the following year, and the
certifications concerning those
expenditures would be required by
February 1, 2014. The information will
be reviewed by the respective Secretary,
or designee, to verify that participating
counties have certified that Title III
funds were expended as authorized in
the Act.
Estimated Annual Burden per
Respondent: The estimated time
required for each response is 24 hours
per year, including an estimated 20
hours for collection and 4 hours for
preparation and submission.
Type of Respondents: Respondents
are county officials.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 360.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 8,640 hours.
