arrangement and promote the
engagement and active participation of
stakeholders in its implementation. It
also outlines a strategy for APHIS and
CFIA to work with other Federal, State,
provincial, and non-governmental
stakeholders to develop the means
necessary to facilitate zoning
recognition during an outbreak and
minimize cross-border trade
disruptions.
The draft framework may be viewed
on the Regulations.gov Web site or in
our reading room (see ADDRESSES above
for a link to Regulations.gov and
information on the location and hours of
the reading room). You may request
paper copies of the document by calling
or writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Please
refer to the title of this document when
requesting copies.
APHIS will consider all comments we
receive on the FAD zoning arrangement
draft framework. Comments on the
framework that address disease risk,
import restrictions, establishment of
areas of control, operational procedures,
and communications with affected
stakeholders would be particularly
useful as we continue to develop the
framework.
Done in Washington, DC, this 7th day of
May 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Pesticide-Use Proposal.
OMB Number: 0596–NEW.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: USDA Forest Service (FS)
has Federal land stewardship
responsibilities for approximately 193
million acres. FS land management
responsibilities require use of integrated
pest management, which in certain
circumstances includes use of
pesticides. FS currently uses form FS–
2100–2, Pesticide-Use Proposal (PUP)
internally to collect and review
pesticide-applications intended to
control pests of grasslands and forests
under its administrative responsibility
(under FSM 2150, and FSH 2109.14). FS
anticipates requests from outside
entities for application of pesticides
upon FS-administered lands within
rights-of-way easements, permitted
lands, and under similar circumstances.
The FS proposes to use the PUP form to
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
collect pesticide project information
from those outside entities to facilitate
authorization of selected activities.
Completion of the PUP form includes
identification of pests to be controlled,
pesticide to be applied, and other
regulatory compliance information such
as use of certified applicators. Because
diverse pesticide-use projects are
designed for local conditions, it is
appropriate for the PUP form to be used
to ensure that essential details are
uniformly assembled for review.
Proposals will be evaluated by FS
pesticide use coordinators and other
administrative personnel to safeguard
human health and ecological protection
consistent with FS land use
management programs. Form and
instructions will be posted on a FS Web
site for ready public availability.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, and State, Local or Tribal
Governments responsible for vegetation
management along rights-of-way across
lands administered by the Forest
Service.
Estimate of Burden per response: 12
hours.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 36.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 50.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 600 hours.
Comment is Invited: 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
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission request toward Office of
Management and Budget approval.
Dated: May 7, 2014.
