Abstract: In order to carry out specific
Forest Service activities, Congress
created several authorities to assist the
Agency in carrying out its mission. The
Forest Service issues Federal Financial
Assistance (FFA) awards (which are
grants and cooperative agreements), as
authorized by the Federal Grants and
Cooperative Agreements Act (FGCAA),
as well as agreements expressly
exempted from FGCAA. In addition,
Congress created specific authorizations
for acts outside the scope of the FGCAA;
as well as appropriations language
conveying authority for the Forest
Service to enter into relationships that
are outside the scope of the FGCAA.
The Forest Service implements these
authorizations using instruments such
as collection agreements, FGCAA
exempted agreements, memorandums of
understanding, and other agreements
(which contain mutual benefits for
participating parties). These instruments
fall outside the scope of the Federal
Acquisition Regulations and often
require financial plans and statements
of work. To create, develop, and
administer these funded and nonfunded agreements, Forest Service
employees collect information from
cooperating parties from the pre-award
to the closeout stage via telephone calls,
e-mails, postal mail, and person-toperson meetings. Respondents usually
have multiple options for responding,
including forms, non-forms,
electronically, face-to-face, over the
telephone, and over the Internet. The
scope of information collected varies,
but typically includes project type,
project scope, financial plan, statement
of work, and cooperator’s business
information.
The information is collected from
non-profit and for-profit institutions;
institutions of higher education; State,
local, and Native American tribal
governments; individuals; foreign
governments; and organizations.
Without the collected information, the
Forest Service would not be able to
create, develop, and administer these
funded and non-funded agreements.
The Agency would be unable to develop
or monitor projects, make or receive
payments, or identify financial and
accounting errors.
Estimate of Annual Burden: .1 to 4
hours annually per person.

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

the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on

is conducted in parallel with the 2010
BAS.
The BVP validates the following
actions by governmental units, as
reported in the BAS:
• The creation of newly incorporated
places and MCDs.
• The creation of new counties, and
the addition of new federally recognized
American Indian areas (AIAs).1
