Comments regarding this information
collection received by February 27, 2013
will be considered. Written comments
should be addressed to: Desk Officer for
Agriculture, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), New
Executive Office Building, 725 17th
Street NW., Washington, DC, 20503.
Commentors are encouraged to submit
their comments to OMB via email to:
OIRA_Submission@OMB.EOP.GOV or
fax (202) 395–5806 and to Departmental
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail
Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250–

Forest Service
Title: Objection to New Land
Management Plans, Plan Amendments,
and Plan Revisions
OMB Control Number: 0596–0158.
Summary of Collection: The process
for submitting objections to new land
management plans, plan amendments,
and plan revisions is set forth in 36 CFR
part 219, subpart B. An objector must
provide their name, mailing address,
telephone number, and identify the
specific proposed plan, amendment, or
revision that is the subject of the
objection. This is the minimum
information needed for a citizen or
organization to explain the nature of
and rational for objections to new land
management plans, plan amendments,
and plan revisions.
This information must accompany a
concise statement explaining how the
environmental disclosure documents, if
any, and proposed plan, amendment, or
revision are inconsistent with law,
regulation, Executive Order, or policy
and any recommendations for change.
The Reviewing Officer then reviews the
objection(s) and relevant information
and responds to the objector(s) in
writing.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected (objections to new
land management plans, plan
amendments, and plan revisions) is
analyzed and responded to by a Forest
Service official. At times, this
information is used to modify land and
resource management planning
decisions. Forest supervisors and
regional forests that make decisions on
land and resource management
planning also use the information.
Without this information, the agency’s
decision-making will suffer from a
reduction in public input and agency
relationships with the public will
deteriorate.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households; Business or
other for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 36.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:

National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: List Sampling Frame Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0140.
Summary of Collection: General
authority for these data collection
activities is granted under U.S. Code
Title 7, Section 2204 which specifies
that ‘‘The Secretary of Agriculture shall
procure and preserve all information
concerning agriculture which he can
obtain * * * by the collection of
statistics * * *’’ The primary objective
of the National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) is to provide data users
with timely and reliable agricultural
production and economic statistics, as
well as environmental and specialty
agricultural related statistics. To
accomplish this objective, NASS relies
heavily on the use of sample surveys
statistically drawn from ‘‘List Sampling
Frame.’’ The List Sampling Frame is a
database of names and addresses, with
control data, that contains the
components values from which these
samples can be drawn.
Need and Use of the Information:
Data from criteria surveys are used to
provide control data for new records on
the list sampling frame. This
information is utilized to define the size
of operation, define sample populations
and establish eligibility for the Census
of Agriculture. New names and
addresses of potential farms are
obtained on a regular basis from growers
association, other government agencies
and various outside sources. This
information is used to develop efficient
sample designs, which allows NASS the
ability to draw reduced sample sizes
from the originally large universe
populations.
