Forest Service
Title: Recreation Fee and Wilderness
Program Administration.
OMB Control Number: 0596–0106.
Summary of Collection: The Federal
Lands Recreation and Enhancement Act
(16 U.S.C. 6801–6814) authorizes the
Forest Service (FS) to collect recreation
fees for use of government facilities and
services. The Organic Administration
Act (16 U.S.C. 473), the Wilderness Act
(16 U.S.C. 1131), and Wild and Scenic
Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271) authorize FS
to collect information from National
Forest System visitors who are asked to
describe the location of their visit and
estimated duration of stay. Every year
millions of people visit National Forest
System recreations sites. At some of
these sites, the public is required to pay
a fee to use the site. Fees are charged to
help cover the costs of operating and
maintaining fee sites, areas, and
facilities such as campgrounds. With
this revision the FS renamed this
collection to include the information
collection requirements currently
approved under 0596–0019 and two
new forms. FS will collect information
from the forms to document when
visitors pay a required recreation fee
and to schedule requests for use and
occupancy of government owned
facilities.
Need and Use of the Information:
Forms used to collection information
and fees from visitors: (1) The
Recreation Fee Permit Envelope (FS
2300–26 and 26a); (2) Permit for ShortTerm, Non-commercial Use of
Government-Owned Cabins and
Lookouts (FS 2300–43); (3) Visitor
Permit (FS–2300–30); (4) Visitor
Registration Card (FS–2300–32); and
two new forms (5) National Recreation
Application (FS–2300–47) and (6)
National Recreation Permit (FS–2300–
48). Personal information includes, but
not limited to, names, addresses,
telephone number, length of stay,
amount paid, requested dates of
occupancy, party size and vehicle
registration are collected. If this
information and fees was not collected
FS could not monitor visitation rates in
special management areas to prevent
overuse and site deterioration in
environmentally sensitive areas.

Forest Service
Title: Forest Service Ride-Along
Program Application.
OMB Control Number: 0596–0170.
Summary of Collection: The Forest
Service (FS) ride-along program allows
the general public or other interested
person to accompany agency law
enforcement personnel as they conduct
their normal field duties, including
access to and discussions about agency
law enforcement vehicles, procedures,
and facilities. The program provides an
opportunity for officers to enhance the
public’s understanding and support of
the agency program and to increase
agency understanding of public and
community concerns. The program also
aids the agency’s recruitment program
by allowing interested persons to
observe a potential career choice or to
participate in innovative intern-type
programs, and by allowing the agency to
showcase the quality of its program and
services.
Need and Use of the Information:
Information will be collected from any
person who voluntarily approaches the
FS and wishes to participate in the
program. The FS 5300–33 program
application form will be used to
conduct a minimal background check
and the FS 5300–34 is a liability waiver
form that requires the applicant’s
signature and their written assurance
that they have read and understood the
form. The information collected from
the forms will be used by FS and, in
appropriate part, by any person or entity
needed and authorized by the FS to
provide the needed background
information (primarily applicable local
law enforcement agencies, state criminal
justice agencies maintaining state justice
records, and by the FBI). If the
information is not collected, the
program could not operate.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households; Federal
Government; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
