SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
Purpose and Need for Action
The Pacific Southwest Region of the
United States, United States Department
of Agriculture, along with the Sierra,
Inyo, and Sequoia National Forests, are
initiating the first phase of the forest
planning process pursuant to the 2012
Forest Planning Rule. Forest plans
describe the strategic direction for
management of forest resources for the
next ten to fifteen years, and are
adaptive and amendable as conditions
change over time. This initial phase
includes the assessment of resource
condition and trend at the bioregional
and forest scales. Although not required
by the new Planning Rule, the Region
will complete a Bio-Regional
Assessment to help provide a landscape
scale perspective to the required forest
assessments. An assessment is the first
step in revising forest plans.
Under the 2012 Planning Rule, the
planning process is continuous and
includes three stages extending over the
life of the Revised Forest Plan. The first
stage is the assessment of resources, and
occurs in the first year. The second stage
is the formal process required by the
National Environment Policy Act
(NEPA) and includes the preparation of
Draft Environmental Impact Statements
and Revised Forest Plan for public
review and comment, and the
preparation of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement and Revised Forest
Plan. We expect the second stage to take
two years. The third stage of the process
is monitoring and feedback, which is
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703

ongoing over the life of the revised
forest plans.
We are committed to collaboration
and to strengthening public engagement
throughout the process. Collaboration
and communication plans are being
developed with the help of stakeholders
at the regional and forest levels. Each
plan is unique to the needs of the
people and communities being served.
The goal is not complete agreement; we
seek common context and
understanding.
Regional and forest specialists have
begun collecting information to describe
existing resource conditions and trends.
The Bio-Regional Assessment Report
will be completed in July 2013.
Responsible Official
Regional Forester Randy Moore,
Pacific Southwest Region, U.S.D.A.
Forest Service.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
Region-wide conditions and trends
will be addressed in the Bio-Regional
Assessment to help provide a landscape
scale context for the Sierra Nevada,
southern Cascades, and the Modoc
Plateau. The bio-regional Assessment
Report will be completed in July 2013.
Scoping Process
At this phase of forest plan revision
there is no formal Scoping Process;
however, we are committed to
collaboration and to strengthening
public engagement throughout the
process. A collaboration and
communication plan that was
developed with the help of stakeholders
is in place.

AGENCY:
By this Notice, the Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA), Department
of Commerce, is informing the public
that it is conducting the mandatory
survey titled Quarterly Survey of
Financial Services Transactions
between U.S. Financial Services
Providers and Foreign Persons (BE–

conducted under the authority of the
International Investment and Trade in
Services Survey Act (22 U.S.C. 3101–
3108, as amended) and by Section 5408
of the Omnibus Trade and
Competitiveness Act of 1988 (15 U.S.C.
4908(b)).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
Notice constitutes legal notification to
all United States persons (defined
below) who meet the reporting
requirements set forth in this Notice that
they must respond to, and comply with,
the survey. Reports are due 45 days after
the end of the U.S. person’s fiscal
quarter, except for the final quarter of
the U.S. person’s fiscal year when
reports must be filed within 90 days.
The BE–185 survey forms and
instructions are available on the BEA
Web site at www.bea.gov/surveys/
iussurv.htm.

association, estate, trust, corporation, or
other organization (whether or not
organized under the laws of any State),

are expected to exceed that amount
during the current fiscal year, or (b) had
purchases of covered financial services
from foreign persons that exceeded $15
million for the previous fiscal year or
are expected to exceed that amount
during the current fiscal year. Because
the thresholds are applied separately to
sales and purchases, the reporting

only to purchases, or to both sales and
purchases. Entities required to report
will be contacted individually by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
Entities not contacted by BEA have no
reporting responsibilities.

Paperwork Reduction Act Notice: This
data collection has been approved by
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act and assigned
control number 0608–0065. An agency
