the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
June 12, 2014.
Title: Bees and Related Articles.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0207.
Summary of Collection: The Plant
Protection Act (APA) (7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq), authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to prohibit or restrict the
importation, entry, or interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States. Under the
Honeybee Act (7 U.S.C. 281–286), the
Secretary is authorized to prohibit or
restrict the importation of honeybee
semen to prevent the introduction into
the United States of diseases and
parasites harmful to honeybees and of
undesirable species and subspecies of
honeybees. The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS),
Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ),
is responsible for implementing the
intent of these Acts, and does so
through the enforcement of its
pollinator regulations and honeybee
regulations.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS collects information from a
variety of individuals who are involved
in breeding, exporting, importing, and
containing bees and related articles. The
information APHIS collects serves as the
supporting documentation needed to
issue required PPQ forms and
documents that allow importation of
bees and related articles or authorizes
the release of bees. This documentation
is vital to helping APHIS ensure that
exotic bee diseases and parasites, and
undesirable species and subspecies of
honeybees, do not spread into or within
the United States. Without the
information APHIS could not verify that
imported bees and related articles do
not present a significant risk of
introducing exotic bee disease,
parasites, and undesirable species and
subspecies of honeybees.

Forest Service
Title: Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
Visitor Study.
OMB Control Number: 0596–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The
Wilderness Act of 1964 directs that the
National Wilderness Preservation
System be managed to protect natural
wilderness conditions and to provide
outstanding opportunities for solitude
or primitive and unconfined types of
recreation. To help meet Federal
agencies’ mandates related to recreation,
scientists at the Aldo Leopold
Wilderness Research Institute
periodically monitor and report to
mangers and the public, visitor use and
user characteristics and visitor feedback
on management actions on federal
lands, including National Wildlife
Refuges.
Need and use of the Information: This
study will only ask recreation visitors
questions about their recreation visit,
their personal demographics relevant to
education and service provision, and
factors that have influenced or are likely
to influence their recreation visits.
Agency personnel will use the collected
information to ensure that visitors’
recreational activities do not harm the
natural resources of the refuge and that
wilderness-type recreation experiences
are protected. The collected information
will help managers continue to adapt
their current programs to changing
societal interests and needs; and meet

Forest Service
Title: Environmental Justice and the
Urban Forest in Atlanta, GA.
OMB Control Number: 0596–NEW.
Summary of Collection:
Environmental justice is defined by the
Environmental Protection Agency as the
‘‘fair treatment and meaningful
involvement of all people . . . with
respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of
environmental laws . . .’’ This
information collection addresses
environmental justice in urban settings.
Cities are often (though not always)
places of particular concern for
environmental justice inquires due to
the greater concentration of
environmental pollutants and human
populations. The following statutes and
regulations are relevant to this request
for information collection: Executive
Order 12898, Memorandum of
Understanding on Environmental
Justice and Executive Order 12898,
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (Pub. L. 91–190), the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 (Pub. L. 88–352).
Need and use of the Information: The
proposed study provides an integrated
approach to assessing residents’
relationship to the urban forest. The
collection addresses environmental
justice from the perspective of urban
trees; and how this resource may
contribute to environmental justice in a
given community or neighborhood. The
agency will use this information to
determine whether their programs,
policies, and activities have
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority populations and lowincome populations. If the information
is not collected, efforts at the federal
level to evaluate environmental justice
will remain limited to methodologies
that reproduce incomplete assessments
of environmental justice.

Individuals or households.
