Title: Role of Communities in
Stewardship Contracting Projects.
OMB Number: 0596–0201.
Expiration Date of Approval: January
31, 2013.
Type of Request: Extension with

Abstract: The Forest Service and
Bureau of Land Management are
required to report to Congress annually
on the role of local communities in the
development of agreement or contract
plans through stewardship contracting,
per Section 323 of Public Law 108–7
(16 U.S.C. 2104 Note). To meet the
requirement, the Forest Service
conducts surveys to gather the necessary
information for use by both the Forest
Service and Bureau of Land
Management. The survey provides
information regarding the:
(a) Nature of the local community
involved in developing agreement or
contract plans,
(b) Nature of roles played by the
entities involved in developing
agreement or contract plans,
(c) Benefits to the community and
agency by being involved in planning
and development of contract plans, and
(d) Usefulness of stewardship
contracting in helping meet the needs of
local communities.
The Pinchot Institute for Conservation
and its sub-contractors collect the
information through an annual
telephone survey. The survey asks
Federal employees, employees of forprofit and not-for-profit institutions,
employees of State and local agencies,
and individual citizens who have been
involved in stewardship contracting
projects about their role in the
development of agreement or contract
plans.
The information collected through the
survey is analyzed by the Pinchot
Institute for Conservation and its subcontractors and used to help develop
the Forest Service and Bureau of Land
Management reports to Congress as
required by Section 323 of Public Law
108–7.
Without the information from this
annual collection of data, the Forest
Service and Bureau of Land
Management will not be able to provide
the required annual reports to Congress
on the role of communities in

Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
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
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of

other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
