SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Grazing Permit Administration
Forms.
OMB Number: 0596–0003.
Expiration Date of Approval: August
2015.
Type of Request: Extension with no
Revision.
Abstract: This information collection
extension is necessary to continue
allowing proper administration of
livestock grazing programs on National
Forest System (NFS) lands. Domestic
livestock grazing occurs on
approximately 90 million acres of NFS
lands. Grazing on NFS lands is subject
to authorization and administrative
oversight by the Forest Service. The
information collected by the Forest
Service is the minimum required for
issuance and administration of grazing
permits, including fee collections, as
authorized by the Federal Land Policy
and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976,
as amended (43 U.S.C. 1700 et seq.) and
United States Department of Agriculture
regulations at 36 CFR part 222, subparts
A and C. Similar information is not
available from any other source.
Forest Service officials currently use
the following forms to collect the
information necessary to administer this
program.
FS–2200–1; Refund, Credit, or
Transfer Application collects the
following information:
• Name and mailing address;
• Permit number;
• National Forest or Grassland and
Ranger District;
• Purpose of application: Credit on
next year’s fees, refund of fees, or
transfer of credit to another account;
• Information on the allotment;
number of cattle, horses, or sheep;
• Period range not used;
• Reason for less use than permitted;
and
• Signature of Permittee.
Information collected on this form
enables the Forest Service to evaluate a
grazing permittee’s request for refund,
credit, or transfer of the unused potion
of the preceding season’s grazing fees
paid to the Forest Service for the

System lands by permitted livestock.
FS–2200–2; Application for
Temporary Grazing or Livestock Use
Permit collects the following
information:
• Name and address of applicant;
• Type, amount, and location of
requested grazing;
• Period of use; and
• Grazing allotment.
Information collected on this form
enables the Forest Service to determine
whether individuals qualify for a
temporary grazing or livestock use
permit, which authorizes grazing on
certain NFS lands for a period not to
exceed one year. The Forest Service
uses the information on this form to
determine whether the applicant is
likely to comply with grazing permit
terms and conditions.
FS–2200–12; Waiver of Term Grazing
Permit enables the Forest Service to
terminate an individual’s grazing
privileges on certain NFS lands based
upon that individual’s sale or transfer of
base property, permitted livestock, or
both to another individual who desires
to acquire a new grazing permit. The
waiver enables the Forest Service to
cancel the grazing permit held by the
individual who sold or transferred the
base property, permitted livestock, or
both; and to identify the individual who
acquired the base property, permitted
livestock, or both as the preferred
applicant for a new grazing permit.
FS–2200–13; Escrow Waiver of Term
Grazing Permit Privileges collects
information on loans made to
permittees. The Forest Service uses the
information to record the name and
address of a permittee’s lender, the
amount of the loan, and the due date for
repayment. The information assists
Agency officials in determining whether
to hold in escrow, on behalf of the
lender, all of the privileges associated
with the grazing permit except the
privilege to graze. The Forest Service
uses the collected information to (1)
notify the lender of important issues
associated with the administration of
the grazing permit and (2) facilitate the
transfer of a grazing permit to a lender
if the permittee defaults on a loan.
FS–2200–16; Application for Term
Grazing Permit collects the following
information:
• Name and address of applicant;
• Type, amount, and location of

• Period of use; and
• Grazing allotment.
The information collected on this
form enables the Forest Service to
evaluate an applicant’s eligibility and
qualification to hold a term grazing
permit authorizing the use of National
Forest System lands for livestock
grazing purposes, to determine the
applicant’s ability to comply with
grazing permit terms and conditions,
and to notify the applicant in writing of
matters associated with the
administration of permitted grazing
including, but not limited to, bills for
the fees associated with the permitted
grazing.
FS–2200–17; Application for Term
Private Land Grazing Permit collects the
following:
• Name and address of applicant;
• Type, amount, and location of
requested grazing;
• Period of use; and
• Grazing allotment.
The information collected on this
form enables the Forest Service to
evaluate an applicant’s eligibility and
qualification to hold a term private
land-grazing permit, which authorizes
the use of National Forest System lands
and private lands controlled by the
applicant for livestock grazing purposes.
The information also enables the Forest
Service to determine the applicant’s
ability to comply with grazing permit
terms and conditions, and to notify the
applicant in writing of matters
associated with the administration of
permitted grazing.
FS–2200–25; Ownership Statement by
Corporation, Partnership or Other Legal
Entity collects the following:
• Name of corporation, partnership,
or other legal entity; and
• The title, signing authority, mailing
address, shares owned, or ownership of
each stockholder or partner.
The information on this form enables
the Forest Service to evaluate whether a
corporation or partnership is eligible
and qualified to hold a term grazing
permit authorizing grazing on certain
National Forest System lands, whether
the corporation is authorized to conduct
business in the state in which the
National Forest System lands to be
grazed are located, and which
shareholders or partners are authorized
to sign official documents on behalf of
the corporation or partnership.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Gypsy Moth Host
Materials from Canada.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0142.
Summary of Collection: The United
States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) is responsible for preventing
plant diseases or insect pests from
entering the United States, preventing
the spread of pests not widely
distributed in the United States, and
eradicating those imported pests when
eradication is feasible. Under the Plant
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.),
the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to regulate the importation of
plants, plant products, and other articles
to prevent the introduction of injurious
plant pests. The Plant Protection and
Quarantine program within USDA’s
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) is responsible for
ensuring that these regulations are
enforced.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information from
individuals both within and outside the
United States using phytosanitary
certificates, certificates of origin, a
written statement and a compliance
agreement. Information collected will
ensure that importing foreign logs, trees,
shrubs, and other articles do not harbor
plant or insect pests such as the gypsy
moth. Failing to collect this information
would cripple APHIS’ ability to ensure
that trees, shrubs, logs, and a variety of
other items imported from Canada do
not harbor gypsy moths.
