Notice of New Fee Sites.
The Malheur National Forest
is planning to charge a $60 fee for the
overnight rental of Short Creek and
Sunshine Cabins. These cabins have not
been available for recreation use prior to
this date. Rentals of other cabins on the
Malheur National Forest have shown
that people appreciate and enjoy the
availability of historic rental cabins.
Funds from the rental will be used for
the continued operation and
maintenance of Short Creek and
Sunshine Cabins.
SUMMARY:
DATES: Short Creek and Sunshine
Cabins will become available for
recreation rental May, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jennifer Harris, Recreation Fee
Coordinator, 541–575–3008.
The
Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement
Act (Title VII, Pub. L. 108–447) directed
the Secretary of Agriculture to publish
a six month advance notice in the
Federal Register whenever new
recreation fee areas are established.
This new fee will be reviewed by a
Recreation Resource Advisory
Committee prior to a final decision and
implementation.
The Malheur National Forest
currently has three other cabin rentals.
These rentals are often fully booked
throughout their rental season. An
analysis of Short Creek and Sunshine
Cabins has shown that people desire
having this sort of recreation experience
on the Malheur National Forest. A
market analysis indicates that the $60/
per night fee is both reasonable and
acceptable for this sort of unique
recreation experience.
People wanting to rent Short Creek
and Sunshine Cabins will need to do so
through the National Recreation
Reservation Service, at https://
www.reserveusa.com or by calling
1–877–444–6777. The National
Recreation Reservation Service charges
a $9 fee for reservations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Manufacturers’ Shipments,
Inventories, and Orders (M3) survey
collects monthly data on shipments,
inventories, and new and unfilled
orders from manufacturing companies.
The orders, as well as the shipments
and inventory data, are valuable tools
for analysts of business cycle
conditions, including members of the
Council of Economic Advisers, the
Treasury Department, and the business
community.
The monthly M3 Survey estimates are
based on a relatively small sample and
reflect primarily the month-to-month
changes of large companies. There is a
clear need for periodic benchmarking of
the M3 estimates to reflect the
manufacturing universe. The Annual
Survey of Manufacturers (ASM)
provides annual benchmarks for the
shipments and inventory data in this
monthly survey. There is no benchmark
for unfilled orders. The U.S. Census
Bureau plans a reinstatement to an
expired collection ‘‘Manufacturers’
Shipments, Inventories and Orders (M3)
Supplement: 2006–2007 Unfilled Orders
Benchmark Survey,’’ to be renamed the
‘‘Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders
Survey.’’ Over the life of the M3 Survey,
there have been four surveys
specifically designed to collect unfilled
orders. These surveys were conducted
in 1976, 1986, 2000, and 2008. After
analyzing the results of the 2008 survey,
the Census Bureau ascertained the need
for an ongoing data collection of
unfilled orders data annually.
The Manufacturers’ Unfilled Orders
Survey will be used as a benchmark for
the M3 Survey each year. The Census
Bureau will use these data to develop
universe estimates of unfilled orders as
of the end of the calendar year and
adjust the monthly M3 data on unfilled
orders to these levels on the NAICS
basis. The benchmarked unfilled orders
levels will be used to derive estimates
of new orders received by
manufacturers. The survey data will
also be used to determine whether it is
necessary to collect unfilled orders data
for specific industries on a monthly
basis; some industries are not requested
to provide unfilled orders data on the
M3 Survey.
II. Method of Collection
The Census Bureau will use mail out/
mail back survey forms to collect the
data. Companies will be asked to
respond to the survey within 30 days of
receipt. Letters encouraging
participation will be mailed to
companies that have not responded by

the designated time. Telephone followup will be conducted to obtain response
from delinquent companies.
