jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: Wallowa-Whitman National
Forest, USDA Forest Service.
ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee
sites.
SUMMARY: The Wallowa-Whitman
National Forest is planning to charge
fees at eight recreation sites. All sites
have recently been reconstructed or
amenities are being added to improve
services and experiences. Fees are
assessed based on the level of amenities
and services provided, cost of operation
and maintenance, market assessment,
and public comment. The fees listed are
only proposed and will be determined
upon further analysis and public
comments. Funds from fees would be
used for the continued operation and
maintenance of these recreation sites.
Moss Springs Guard Station will be
available for overnight rental. A
financial analysis is being completed to
determine the rental fee but may range
between $60 and $80 per night. Rental

cabins offer a unique experience and are
a widely popular offering on National
Forests. Moss Springs Guard Station
was restored in the late 1990s to
maintain its historic value and provide
overnight use by the public. It was taken
off the rental system over five years ago;
however, renewed interest by the public
for rental cabins has increased. Fees
would continue to help protect the
historic integrity of the Moss Springs
Guard Station.
The following campgrounds are
currently a fee free site: Two Color,
Umapine, Boulder Park, North Fork
Catherine Creek Group Site, Spring
Creek and Oregon Trail Interpretive
Park. These sites provide campsites, fire
rings, picnic tables and toilets. New
toilets were installed at most of these
developed recreation sites within the
last five years. The new fee will address
sanitation and safety concerns, and
improve deteriorating resource
conditions and recreation experiences.
A financial analysis is being completed
to determine fee rates. The proposed fee
to help maintain these sites would range
between $8 and $15 a campsite and $3
per one additional vehicle per campsite.
The Elkhorn Crest Trailhead would be
re-established as a fee site since
amenities such as garbage service have
been added and interpretive signing is
being developed for this site. Recreation
Passes such as the Northwest Forest
Pass would cover day use fees for this
trailhead. Northwest Forest Passes are
$5 for a daily pass and $30 for an annual
pass.
DATES: The Agency must receive public
comments before July 30, 2010. New
fees would begin after July 30, 2010 and
contingent upon completion of certain
improvements. The cabin rental would
be available once a final decision is
made and is listed with the National
Recreation Reservation Service.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Generic Clearance for MAF &
TIGER Updating Activities.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0809.
Form Number(s): Various.
Type of Request: Extension of an
approved collection.
Burden Hours: 11,283.
Number of Respondents: 212,892.
Average Hours per Response: 3
minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
requests approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for an
extension of the generic clearance for a
number of activities it plans to conduct
to update its Master Address File (MAF)
and maintain the linkage between the
MAF and the Topologically Integrated
Geographic Encoding and Referencing
(TIGER) database of address ranges and
associated geographic information. The
Census Bureau plans to use the MAF for
post-Census 2010 evaluations, various
pre-2020 census tests, and as a sampling
frame for the American Community
Survey and our other demographic
current surveys. In the past, the Census
Bureau has built a new address list for
each decennial census. The MAF built
during Census 2000 will be updated
thereafter, eliminating the need to

19JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 19, 2010 / Notices
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
assemble a completely new address list
for future censuses and surveys. The
TIGER is a geographic system that maps
the entire country in Census Blocks
with applicable address ranges of living
quarter location information. Linking
MAF and TIGER allows us to assign
each address to the appropriate Census
Block, produce maps as needed and
publish results at the appropriate level
of geographic detail.
The generic clearance for the past
three years has proved to be very
beneficial to the Census Bureau. The
generic clearance allowed us to utilize
our limited resources on actual
operational planning and development
of procedures. The extension will be
especially beneficial over the upcoming
three years by enabling us to focus on
the efforts to improve procedures for
future Dress Rehearsals, and to continue
updating the MAF.
We will follow the protocol of past
generic clearances: 30 days before the
scheduled start date of each census
activity, we will provide OMB with a
detailed background on the activity,
estimates of respondent burden and
samples of pertinent forms. After the
close of each fiscal year, we will also
file a year-end summary report with
OMB, presenting the results of each
activity conducted.
The following sections describe the
categories of activities to be included
under the clearance. The Census Bureau
has conducted these activities (or
similar ones) previously and the
respondent burden remains relatively
unchanged from one time to another.
Demographic Area Address Listing
(DAAL)
The Demographic Area Address
Listing (DAAL) program encompasses
the geographic area updates for the
Community Address Updating System
(CAUS) and the area and group quarters
frame listings for many ongoing
demographic surveys (the Current
Population Survey, the Consumer
Expenditures Survey, etc.). The CAUS
program is designed to address quality
concerns relating to areas with high
concentrations of noncity-style
addresses, and to provide a rural
counterpart to the update of city-style
addresses the MAF receives from the
U.S. Postal Services’s Delivery Sequence
File. The ongoing demographic surveys,
as part of the 2000 Sample Redesign
Program, used the MAF as one of
several sources of addresses from which
they selected their samples. In fiscal
year 2010, the DAAL operation will also
be used to assess a job aid used in the
2010 Address Canvassing operation to
identify units in small multi-unit
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:28 Jan 15, 2010
Jkt 220001
structures. The DAAL program is a
cooperative effort among many
divisions at the Census Bureau; it
includes automated listing software,
systems, and procedures that will allow
us to conduct listing operations in a
dependent manner based on
information contained in the MAF.
The DAAL operations will be
conducted on an ongoing basis in
potentially any county across the
country. Field Representatives (FRs)
will canvass selected Census 2000
tabulation blocks to improve the address
list in areas where substantial address
changes may have occurred that have
not been added to the MAF through
regular update operations, and/or in
blocks in the area or group quarters
frame sample for the demographic
surveys. FRs will update existing
address information, and, when
necessary, contact individuals to collect
accurate location and mailing address
information. In general, contact will
occur only when the FR is adding a unit
to the address list, and/or the
individual’s address is not posted or
visible to the FR. There is no predetermined or scripted list of questions
asked as part of this listing operation. If
an address is not posted or visible to the
FR, the FR will ask about the address of
the structure, the mailing address, and,
in some instances, the year the structure
was built. If the occupants of these
households are not at home, the FR may
attempt to contact a neighbor to
determine the best time to find the
occupants at home and/or to obtain the
correct address information. At group
quarters, a facility manager is usually
contacted to collect information
concerning the facility.
DAAL is an ongoing operation. Listing
assignments are distributed quarterly
with the work conducted throughout the
time period. We expect that DAAL
listing operation will be conducted
throughout the entire time period of the
extension.
American Housing Survey (AHS)
Screening Operation
The Census Bureau plans a screening
operation to add housing units in
independent living facilities to the
American Housing Survey (AHS)
sample. We define an independent
living facility as a building with 5 or
more housing units whose residents live
independently and are generally selfsufficient but are able to get help with
services like meals, transportation, and
managing finances, as well as personal
care such as bathing, eating, or dressing.
The residents tend to be elderly but also
include the disabled of all ages.
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
2851
We plan on placing a flag on the MAF
to identify the independent living units
added to the AHS by this operation.
AHS is the first current survey to
attempt to identify independent living
units. If the operation is successful,
other current surveys will use the
criteria developed to identify such units
for inclusion in their samples and will
also flag these units on the MAF. Having
these units identified on the MAF
increases its functionality. Independent
living is one of the fastest growing types
of housing. The Census Bureau needs to
begin the process of identifying units in
these facilities.
Depending on the sponsor’s FY10
budget, there are an estimated 180 to
600 units in sample for the 2011 AHS–
Metropolitan survey, we will screen
from all 12 Regional Offices October 12–
December 10, 2010. We would need to
do this again in late 2012 for the 2013
AHS survey. The Regional Office
Supervisors will telephone the facility
contacts to confirm the status of the
units. We will never contact the housing
unit itself for this information. We
expect the screening questions to take
about 6 minutes once a contact person
is located which equates to total
respondent burden of 60 hours.
All information that identifies
individuals will be held in strict
confidence according to the provisions
of Title 13, United States Code, Section
9. When contact is made, the Regional
Office Supervisor will read the
Confidentiality Notice that provides
information on the confidential nature
of Census Bureau data. This notice
explains that any information given to
the Census Bureau will be held in strict
confidence. None of the questions asked
during the screening are of a sensitive
nature and there is no cost to facilities
other than that of staff time to respond.
The list above is not exhaustive of all
activities, which may be performed
under this generic clearance. We will
follow the approved procedure when
submitting any additional activities not
specifically listed here.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The activities to be
conducted under this clearance are
authorized by Title 13 United States
Code, Sections 141 and 193.

U.S.C. chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Generic Clearance for MAF & TIGER Updating Activities.

Form Number(s): Various.
Type of Request: Extension of an approved collection.
Burden Hours: 11,283.
Number of Respondents: 212,892.
Average Hours per Response: 3 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau requests approval from the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for an extension of the generic
clearance for a number of activities it plans to conduct to update its
Master Address File (MAF) and maintain the linkage between the MAF and
the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing
(TIGER) database of address ranges and associated geographic
information. The Census Bureau plans to use the MAF for post-Census
2010 evaluations, various pre-2020 census tests, and as a sampling

The TIGER is a geographic system that maps the entire country in Census
Blocks with applicable address ranges of living quarter location
information. Linking MAF and TIGER allows us to assign each address to
the appropriate Census Block, produce maps as needed and publish
results at the appropriate level of geographic detail.

presenting the results of each activity conducted.
The following sections describe the categories of activities to be

remains relatively unchanged from one time to another.
Demographic Area Address Listing (DAAL)
The Demographic Area Address Listing (DAAL) program encompasses the
geographic area updates for the Community Address Updating System
(CAUS) and the area and group quarters frame listings for many ongoing
demographic surveys (the Current Population Survey, the Consumer

at home and/or to obtain the correct address information. At group
quarters, a facility manager is usually contacted to collect
information concerning the facility.
DAAL is an ongoing operation. Listing assignments are distributed
quarterly with the work conducted throughout the time period. We expect
that DAAL listing operation will be conducted throughout the entire
time period of the extension.
