OMB Number: 0596–0141. Expiration Date of Approval: October 31, 2010. Type of Request: Extension with no Revision. Abstract: The Forest Service adopted the Small Business Timber Sale SetAside Program on July 26, 1990 (55 FR 30485). The Agency administers the program in cooperation with the Small Business Administration (SBA) under the authorities of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631), the National Forest Management Act of 1976, and SBA regulations in 13 CFR part 121. The program is designed to ensure that small business timber purchasers have the opportunity to purchase a fair proportion of National Forest System timber offered for sale. Under the program, the Forest Service must recompute the shares of timber sales to be set aside for qualifying small businesses every 5 years based on the actual volume of sawtimber that has been purchased by small businesses. Shares must be recomputed if there is a change in manufacturing capability, if the purchaser size class changes, or if certain purchasers discontinue operations. In 1992, the Agency adopted new administrative appeal procedures (36 CFR part 215), which excluded the Small Business Timber Sale Set-Aside Program. Prior to adoption of 36 CFR part 215, the Agency had accepted appeals of recomputations decisions under 36 CFR part 217; and therefore decided to establish procedures for providing notice to affected purchasers offering an opportunity to comment on the recomputation of shares (61 FR 7468). The Conference Report accompanying the 1997 Omnibus Appropriation Act (Pub. L. 104–208) directed the Forest Service to reinstate an appeals process for decisions concerning recomputation of Small Business Set-Aside shares, structural recomputations of SBA shares, or changes in policies impacting the Small Business Timber Set-Aside Program prior to December 31, 1996. The Small Business Timber Sale Set-Aside Program: Appeal Procedures on Recomputation of Shares (36 CFR 223.118; 64 FR 411, January 5, 1999) outlines the types of decisions that are subject to appeal, who may appeal decisions, the procedures for appeal decisions, the timelines for appeal, and the contents of the notice of appeal. The Forest Service provides qualifying timber sale purchasers 30days for predecisional review and VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:50 Mar 14, 2011 Jkt 223001 comment on draft decisions to reallocate shares, including the data used in making the proposed recomputation decision. Within 15 days after the close of the 30-day predecisional review period, an Agency official makes a decision on the shares to be set aside for small businesses and gives written notice of the decision to all parties on the national forest timber sale bidders list for the affected area. The written notice provides the date by which the appeal may be filed and how to obtain information on appeal procedures. Only those timber sale purchasers, or their representatives, affected by small business share timber sale set-aside recomputation decisions and who have submitted predecisional comments may appeal recomputation decisions. The appellant must file a notice of appeal with the appropriate Forest Service official within 20 days of the date of the notice of decision. The notice of appeal must include: 1. The appellant’s name, mailing address, and day time telephone number; 2. The title and date of the decision; 3. The name of the responsible Forest Service official; 4. A brief description and date of the decision being appealed; 5. A statement of how the appellant is adversely affected by the decision being appealed; 6. A statement of facts in dispute regarding the issue(s) raised by the appeal; 7. Specific references to law, regulation, or policy that the appellant believes have been violated (if any) and the basis for such an allegation; 8. A statement as to whether and how the appellant has tried to resolve the appeal issues with the appropriate Forest Service official, including evidence of submission of written comments at the predecisional stage; and 9. A statement of the relief the appellant seeks. The data gathered in this information collection is not available from other sources. Estimate of Annual Burden: 4 hours. Type of Respondents: Timber sale purchasers, or their representatives, who are affected by recomputations of the small business share of timber sales. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 40. Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 2. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 320.
