National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Honey Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0153.
Summary of Collection: The National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
primary function is to prepare and issue
State and national estimates of crop and
livestock production. General authority
for these data collection activities is
granted under U.S. Code Title 7, Section
2204. Domestic honeybees are critical to
the pollination of U.S. crops, especially
fruits and vegetables. Africanized bees,
parasites, diseases, and pesticides
threaten the survival of bees. Programs
are provided by Federal, State and local
governments to assist in the survival of
bees and to encourage beekeepers to
maintain bee colonies.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS will collect information on the
number of colonies, honey production,
stocks, and prices. The survey will
provide data needed by the Department
and other government agencies to
administer programs and to set trade
quotas and tariffs. Without the
information agricultural industry would
not be aware of changes at the State and
national level.
Description of Respondents: Farms.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 2,347.
National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Nursery and Christmas Tree
Production Survey and Nursery and
Floriculture Chemical Use Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0244.
Summary of Collection: The National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is
charged with the responsibility of
providing reliable, up-to-date
information concerning the Nation’s
crop and livestock production, prices,
and disposition, as well as
environmental statistics. This includes
estimates of production and value of key
nursery products and chemical use by
nursery and floriculture production
operations. Congress appropriated funds
PO 00000

for the collection of pesticide use data
on nursery and floriculture operations.
This data will expand the existing
NASS pesticide database that contains
comprehensive annual pesticide use
reports. NASS will collect the
information using surveys. The
authority for these data collection
activities is granted under U.S. Code
Title 7, Section 2204.
Need and Use of the Information:
Nursery and Christmas tree production
data and nursery and floriculture
chemical use data will be used by
NASS, the Environmental Protection
Agency, the nursery and floriculture
industries, and other parties to assess
the environmental and economic impact
of various programs, policies, and
procedures on nursery and floriculture
operators and workers. The basic
chemical use and farm practices
information also will be used to
enhance the national chemical use
database maintained by NASS. This
database is an integral source of data
necessary for on-going risk assessments
related to dietary exposure to chemicals,
worker safety, water quality, and
ecological resources.
Description of Respondents: Farms;
Business or other for-profit.

Plan Development for Kiowa, Rita
Blanca, Black Kettle and McClellan
Creek National Grasslands, Colfax,
Harding, Mora and Union Counties,
NM; Dallam, Gray and Hemphill
Counties, TX; Cimarron and Roger
Mills Counties, OK
Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement in
conjunction with development of a new
land and resource management plan.
AGENCY:
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: As directed by the National
Forest Management Act (NFMA), the
USDA Forest Service (FS) is preparing
the Kiowa, Rita Blanca, Black Kettle and
McClellan Creek National Grasslands
land and resource management plan
(plan) and will also prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for this new plan. Currently, the
National Grasslands named above
receive management direction from the
1985 Cibola National Forest plan.
However, the new plan will provide
direction specific to the National
Grasslands only, while the 1985 plan
will continue to provide direction for
the forested, mountain districts of the
Cibola National Forest until it is revised
in the future. This notice briefly
describes the nature of the decision to
be made; the proposed action (the new
plan) and need for change from the 1985
plan specific to the National Grasslands,
and information concerning public
participation in the new plan
development. It also provides estimated
dates for filing the EIS and the names
and addresses of the responsible agency
official and the individuals who can
provide additional information. Finally,
this notice briefly describes the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:34 Jan 14, 2010
Jkt 220001
applicable planning rule and how work
done on the plan revision under the
2008 planning rule will be used or
modified for completing this plan
revision.
Thus, the new plan will supersede,
for the National Grassland units only,
the plan previously approved by the
Regional Forester on July 15, 1985 and
as amended. The 1985 plan
amendments relative to the National
Grasslands designated new electronic
sites; identified eligible Wild and Scenic
Rivers; addressed travel management
issues and oil and gas leasing
stipulations, and the need for additional
Management Indicator Species (MIS).
The 1985 amended plan will remain in
effect for the National Grasslands until
the new plan takes effect. When the
Record of Decision for the new Kiowa,
Rita Blanca, Black Kettle and McClellan
Creek National Grasslands plan and
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
and Final Plan is signed by the
Responsible Official, the 1985 plan will
be amended after 30 days have passed
to remove only those portions that apply
to the National Grasslands. Again, the
1985 plan as currently amended will
still apply to the rest of the Cibola
National Forest until it is revised.
DATES: Comments concerning the need
for change provided in this notice will
be most useful in the development of
the new plan and draft EIS if received
by February 15, 2010. The agency
expects to release a draft Grasslands
plan and draft EIS for formal comment
by fall 2010 and a final National
Grasslands plan and final EIS by
summer 2011. See the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION—Public Involvement
section for information on future public
meeting dates.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to:
Cibola National Forest, 2113 Osuna Rd.
NE., Albuquerque, NM 87113.
Comments may also be sent via e-mail
to comments-grasslandsplan@fs.fed.us.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Name and Address of the Responsible
Official
Corbin Newman, Regional Forester,
Southwestern Region, 333 Broadway
SE., Albuquerque, NM 87102.
Nature of the Decision To Be Made
The Kiowa, Rita Blanca, Black Kettle
and McClellan Creek National
Grasslands, managed by the Cibola
National Forest, are preparing an EIS to
develop a new plan pertaining to the
National Grasslands portion of the
Forest only. The EIS process is meant to
inform the Regional Forester so that he
can decide which National Grasslands
plan alternative best meets the need to
achieve quality land management under
the sustainable multiple-use
management concept, meet the diverse
needs of people, and conserve the
National Grasslands’ resources, as
required by the NFMA and the Multiple
Use Sustained Yield Act (MUSYA).
The new plan will describe the
strategic intent of managing the National
Grasslands into the next 10 to 15 years
and will address the need for change
described below. The new plan will
provide management direction in the
form of goals (desired conditions),
objectives, suitability determinations,
standards, guidelines, and a monitoring
plan, including identification of MIS. It
may also make new special area
recommendations for wilderness,
research natural areas, and other special
areas.
As important as the decisions to be
made is the identification of the types
of decisions that will not be made
within the new plan. The authorization
of project-level activities on the
National Grasslands is not a decision
made in the National Grasslands plan
but occurs through subsequent project
specific decision-making. The
designation of routes, trails, and areas
