Abstract: The Minority Farm Register
is a voluntary register of minority farm
and ranch operators, landowners,
tenants and others with an interest in
farming or agriculture. The registrant’s
name, address, email, phone number,
race, ethnicity, gender, farm location,
and signature will be collected;
however, the registrant’s name, address,
and signature are the only items
required to register. Providing this

information is completely voluntary.
USDA’s Office of Advocacy and
Outreach will use this information to
help inform minority farmers and
ranchers about programs and services
provided by USDA agencies.
The Minority Farm Register is
maintained by FSA and jointly
administered by FSA and USDA’s Office
of Advocacy and Outreach. Because
USDA partners with community-based
organizations, minority-serving
educational institutions, and other
groups to communicate USDA’s
program and services, the Office of
Advocacy and Outreach may share
information collected with these
organizations for outreach purposes.
The race, ethnicity, and gender of
registrants may be used to provide
information about programs and
services that are designed for these
particular groups. Information about the
Minority Farm Register is available on
the Internet to ensure that the program
is widely publicized and accessible to
all.
Respondents: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
5000.
Estimated Average Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Number of
Responses: 5000.
Estimated average time to respond: 5
minutes (0.083 hours) and 1 hour
traveling time.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 4667 hours.
We are requesting comments on all
aspects of this information collection to
help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of FSA,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of FSA’s
estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice, including
name and addresses when provided,
will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will also become a matter of
public record.

Authority
Scientific research permits are issued
in accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A)
of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
regulations governing listed fish and
wildlife permits (50 CFR 222–226).

would not operate to the disadvantage

of the listed species that are the subject
of the permit; and (3) are consistent
with the purposes and policy of section
2 of the ESA. The authority to take
listed species is subject to conditions set
forth in the permits.
Anyone requesting a hearing on an
application listed in this notice should
set out the specific reasons why a
hearing on that application would be
appropriate (see ADDRESSES). Such
hearings are held at the discretion of the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NMFS.
Applications Received
Permit 1422—3R
The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is
seeking to renew for five years a permit
that currently allows them to annually
take juvenile endangered UCR Chinook
salmon, juvenile endangered UCR
steelhead, and juvenile threatened MCR
steelhead during research activities
taking place at various points in the
Yakima, Methow, Entiat, and
Wenatchee River drainages in
Washington State. Under the renewed
permit, the fish would be captured
(using minnow traps, hook-and-line
angling, and electrofishing equipment),
identified, and immediately released.
The purpose of the research is to
determine fish distribution in the
subbasins listed above. The research
would benefit the fish by giving land
managers information they need in
order to design forest management
activities (e.g., timber sales, grazing
plans, road building) in such a way as
to conserve listed species. The USFS
does not intend to kill any of the listed
fish being captured, but a small
percentage may die as an unintended
result of the research activities.
Permit 10020—3M
The City of Bellingham (COB) is
seeking to modify a five-year research
permit that currently allows them to
take juvenile PS Chinook salmon and PS
steelhead. The sampling would take
place in Cemetery Creek, a tributary of
Whatcom Creek in Bellingham, WA.
The purpose of the study is to assess the
effectiveness of habitat restoration
measures implemented as part of the
Whatcom Creek Long-term Restoration
Plan and would document fish
population trends. The COB proposes to
capture fish using a smolt trap placed in
Cemetery Creek. Fish would be
identified by species, measured, have a
tissue sample taken (to determine their
origin), and be released. This research
would benefit the affected species by
informing future restoration designs as
well as providing data to support future
