Æ Hand piled and burned—
approximately 4,431 acres. This
treatment could occur intermittently
across Defense Zone Units, Roadside
Fuel Breaks, and Plantations depending
on slope steepness, proximity to homes
and air quality concerns.
Æ Jackpot burned—approximately
4,431 acres. This treatment could occur
intermittently across Defense Zone
Units, Roadside Fuel Breaks, and
Plantations depending on slope,
proximity to homes and air quality
concerns.
Æ Public Fuelwood Utilization—
approximately 2,520 acres. This
treatment would leave material suitable
for public fuel wood use onsite in areas
that are accessible, or decked along the
roadside where safe to do so. This
treatment could occur intermittently
across Defense Zone Units, Roadside
Fuel Breaks, and Plantations.
Æ Understory Maintenance Burning—
Approximately 4,431 acres. This
treatment could occur within
approximately two to ten years after
initial treatment, or as the surface fuel
conditions require for maintaining the
desired fire behavior. This treatment
could occur within all Defense Zone
Units, Plantations, and Roadside Fuel
Breaks. Multiple burn entries may be
needed to maintain desired vegetation
and fuel loadings.
Prescribed Fire Understory Units
Approximately 896 acres are
proposed for prescribed understory fire
treatment. No thinning will occur in
these units. Treatments are intended to
move these areas toward historic fire
regime and fuel loading conditions and
to allow fire personnel to make use of
roads, natural barriers, and topography
(such as ridge tops and drainages) for
control lines during prescribed burning
activities in other units (see previous
section). The Prescribed Fire Understory
Units will help reduce the overall
amount of control lines needed within
the planning area, allowing for more
cost effective and safer understory
burning, and reducing the potential for
resource damage. Multiple burn entries
of primarily low to moderate intensity
fire may be needed to maintain desired
vegetation and fuel loadings. Natural
boundaries would be used whenever
possible; however, control line
construction will still be needed in
some areas. Desired outcomes are a
mosaic-burn severity pattern primarily
from low to moderate intensity surface
fire across 70–80% of the treatment
area. Treatments would be applied
where trees per acre (TPA), canopy base
height or fuel loading do not meet
desired conditions. This treatment

would create mosaic forest conditions
that contribute to late successional
characteristics while providing a more
fire-resilient landscape.
Responsible Official
Forest Supervisor, Shasta-Trinity
National Forest.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The Forest Supervisor will decide
whether to implement the proposed
action, take an alternative action that
meets the purpose and need or take no
action.
Scoping Process
The project is included in the ShastaTrinity National Forest’s quarterly
schedule of proposed actions (SOPA).
Detailed information on the proposed
action, including maps, that will aid in
the informing comments will be
available on the Forest Web site at:
https://www.fs.fed.us/nepa/nepa_
project_exp.php?project=38444.
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments at such times and in
such manner that they are useful to the
agency’s preparation of the
environmental impact statement.
Therefore, comments should be
provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions.
Comments received in response to
this solicitation, including names and
addresses of those who comment, will
be part of the public record for this
proposed action. Comments submitted
anonymously will be accepted and
considered, however.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and

following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the

OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (request for
a new information collection).
Number of Respondents: 300.
Average Hours per Response: 25

Burden Hours: 125.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
new information collection supported
by Section 12302(3) of the Integrated
Coastal and Ocean Observation System
Act (ICOOS Act) part of the Omnibus
Public Land Management Act of 2009
(Pub. L. 111–11). The survey is
voluntary.
NOAA’s National Ocean Service is
requesting approval of a Web-based
survey of employers who provide either
services or infrastructure to the
Integrated Ocean Observing System
(IOOS) or organizations that add value
to the IOOS data and other outputs by
tailoring them for specific end uses. The
purpose of the survey and overall
project is to gather data to articulate the
collective and derived value of the IOOS
enterprise, and to create a profile of
businesses and organizations who are
involved with providing services or
utilizing the data for other specific end
uses. This is the first survey of its kind
on a national scale. The project is
funded by NOAA and is being
conducted on its behalf by the
contractor, ERISS Corporation. The
project contract spans three years with
the first portion of the contract mainly
involved with researching and selecting
appropriate businesses to include in the
study database. The Web survey will be
the main data collection piece of the
project and is necessary in order to
collect demographic, financial, and
functional information for each
organization with regards to their
involvement with IOOS. The final
deliverable of this project is an analytic
report detailing the findings of the web
survey and the analysis of the employer
database.
The marine technology industry is an
important partner and stakeholder
within IOOS; however, without the
baseline that this study will provide,
IOOS is unable to articulate its
collective and derived value. The results
will demonstrate the size and economic
impact of IOOS data to the United States
marine ocean sector. That information
can be used to understand the value of
export sales and the identification of
potential growth and/or new
international markets which would
