For the work registrant and

for each respondent is 0.42 hours (25
minutes), including time to read the
advance letter and complete the survey.
For survey nonrespondents, the burden
estimate is 0.08 hours (5 minutes),
including time to read the advance letter
and field a call regarding the survey. For
the SNAP E&T provider survey, the
burden estimate is 0.33 hours (20

time to read the advance letter and
complete the survey. For provider
survey nonrespondents, the burden
estimate is 0.08 hours (5 minutes),

Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents and Nonrespondents:
SNAP work registrants, E&T
participants, and providers will be
interviewed or will participate in a
focus group only once. Thus, the total
hours for this effort is 1,748.9, including
625 hours for respondents to the SNAP
work registrant survey and 39.5 hours
for nonrespondents; 625 hours for the
SNAP E&T participant survey and 39.5
hours for nonrespondents; 166.7 hours

provider survey and 13.2 hours for
nonrespondents; and 200 hours for the

for the nonparticipants. The number of
survey nonrespondents is based on the
assumption that the sample will contain
1,974 people for each group (work
registrants and E&T participants) and
658 providers, of which 95 percent will
be eligible for the survey, and 80
percent of those will complete the
survey. The burden for E&T participants
in the focus groups is estimated at 200
hours; for people who elect not to
participate in the focus groups
(nonparticipants), the estimated total
burden is 40 hours.
The number of nonparticipants is
based on the assumption that to have
120 people attend the focus groups, 300
people need to be recruited. To recruit
300 people, twice as many, or 600, will
need to be contacted initially (five-toone ratio).

This notice imposes no new reporting
or recordkeeping provisions that are
subject to Office of Management and
Budget review in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3507). This action is not a rule
as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612) and thus is
exempt from the provisions of that Act.
This notice was reviewed by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866.
National Average Minimum Value of
Donated Foods for the Period July 1,
2014 Through June 30, 2015
This notice implements mandatory
provisions of sections 6(c) and
17(h)(1)(B) of the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act (the Act) (42
U.S.C. 1755(c) and 1766(h)(1)(B)).
Section 6(c)(1)(A) of the Act establishes
the national average value of donated
food assistance to be given to States for
each lunch served in the NSLP at 11.00
cents per meal. Pursuant to section
6(c)(1)(B), this amount is subject to
annual adjustments on July 1 of each
year to reflect changes in a three-month
average value of the Price Index for
Foods Used in Schools and Institutions
for March, April, and May each year
(Price Index). Section 17(h)(1)(B) of the
Act provides that the same value of
donated foods (or cash in lieu of
donated foods) for school lunches shall
also be established for lunches and
suppers served in the CACFP. Notice is
hereby given that the national average
minimum value of donated foods, or
cash in lieu thereof, per lunch under the
NSLP (7 CFR part 210) and per lunch
and supper under the CACFP (7 CFR
part 226) shall be 24.75 cents for the
period July 1, 2014 through June 30,
2015.
The Price Index is computed using
five major food components in the
Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer
Price Index (cereal and bakery products;
meats, poultry and fish; dairy; processed
fruits and vegetables; and fats and oils).
Each component is weighted using the
relative weight as determined by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The value of
food assistance is adjusted each July 1
by the annual percentage change in a
three-month average value of the Price
Index for March, April, and May each
year. The three-month average of the
Price Index increased by 6.1 percent
from 204.88 for March, April, and May
of 2013, as previously published in the
Federal Register, to 217.35 for the same
three months in 2014. When computed
on the basis of unrounded data and
rounded to the nearest one-quarter cent,
the resulting national average for the
period July 1, 2014 through June 30,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:46 Jul 14, 2014
Jkt 232001
2015 will be 24.75 cents per meal. This
is an increase of one and one half cents
from the school year 2014 (July 1, 2013
through June 30, 2014) rate.
Authority: Sections 6(c)(1)(A) and (B),
6(e)(1), and 17(h)(1)(B) of the Richard B.

ACTION:
As directed by the National
Forest Management Act, the USDA
Forest Service is preparing the Nez
Perce-Clearwater National Forests’
revised land management plan (forest
plan), which requires preparation of an
environmental impact statement (EIS).
This notice briefly describes the nature
of the decision to be made, the proposed
action, and information concerning
public participation. It also provides
estimated dates for filing the EIS, the
name and address of the responsible
agency official, and the individuals who
can provide additional information.
Finally, this notice identifies the
applicable planning rule that will be

1987. The existing forest plans will
remain in effect until the revised forest
plan takes effect.
As a result of this notice we are asking
for comments on the proposed action
and the list of potential species of
conservation concern. The full text of
the proposed action, large-scale color
maps, information on public meetings,
and the list of potential species of
conservation concern can be found at

3rd Street, Kamiah, ID 83536.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The Nez Perce-Clearwater National
Forests (Forest) are preparing an EIS to
revise the existing forest plans. The EIS
process is meant to inform the Forest
Supervisor so he can decide which
alternative best maintains and restores
National Forest System terrestrial and
aquatic resources while providing
ecosystem services and multiple uses, as
required by the National Forest
Management Act and the Multiple Use
Sustained Yield Act. The revised forest
plan will describe the strategic intent of
managing the Forest for the next 10 to
15 years and will address the identified
need to change the existing land
management plans. The revised forest
plan will provide management direction
in the form of desired conditions,
objectives, standards, guidelines, and
suitability of lands. It will identify
delineation of new management areas
across the Forest, identify the timber
sale program quantity, make
recommendations to Congress for
Wilderness designation, and list rivers
and streams eligible for inclusion in the
