SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Idaho Roadless Rule permits the Chief of the Forest Service to modify Idaho Roadless Area boundaries based on changed circumstances or public need after providing public notice and a 45-day public comment period. Pursuant to 36 CFR 294.27(b), the Forest Service proposes to modify the West Mink Roadless Area boundary, located in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, to allow for the relocation and expansion of the Gibson Jack trailhead. The existing Gibson Jack trailhead outside of Pocatello, Idaho does not provide adequate parking to accommodate the trail’s high level of use. Vehicles must park along the trailhead’s access road on adjacent private lands. Expansion of the trailhead PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 39051 in its existing location is not feasible because of the presence of steep and erodible slopes. The West Mink Roadless Area surrounds the trailhead on three sides. A flat bench approximately 700 feet west of the existing trailhead and inside the roadless area would provide adequate space to accommodate trailhead parking and for vehicles pulling trailers. Moving the trailhead to this location requires removing 11.4 acres from the roadless area and reconstructing approximately 700 feet of a closed Forest Service road that currently serves as a non-motorized trail. The Forest Service also proposes to eliminate an 18.8-acre area (or ‘‘cherry stem’’) that has been carved out of the same roadless area. This 18.8-acre area follows a closed Forest Service road which has since been converted to a motorized trail. The Forest Service will add these 18.8 acres to the Roadless Area and remove the previously mentioned 11.4 acres to accommodate the new trailhead, resulting in a net increase of 7.4 acres to the West Mink Roadless Area. The boundary modification would improve the area’s manageability for the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. The trailhead relocation would provide improved access and safety for trail users and meet current and projected recreation demand. A map of the proposed modifications is available at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/ detail/roadless/idahoroadlessrule/ ?cid=stelprdb5382399. The Forest Service prepared an environmental assessment to analyze the impacts of the trailhead relocation and roadless area boundary modifications. The Chief of the Forest Service is the responsible official for the boundary modification under the Idaho Roadless Rule. The Forest Supervisor, Caribou-Targhee National Forest, is the responsible official for the trailhead relocation project. The Forest Service will consider public comments on the proposed boundary modifications in coordination with the proposed trailhead relocation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: srobinson on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES I. Abstract The Census Bureau conducts the Business and Professional Classification Report survey (SQ–CLASS) to collect information from new businesses to obtain proper industry classification for use in economic surveys and the Economic Census. The survey, conducted quarterly, samples businesses with newly assigned Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Businesses can only be selected once for the survey. The survey collects data about a business in such areas as: Primary business activity, company structure, size, and business operations. This information is used to update the sampling frame for current business surveys, which ensures high quality VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:49 Jul 07, 2015 Jkt 235001 economic estimates. Additionally, by ensuring proper industry classification, this survey reduces burden for the businesses in the five-year Economic Census, as the questions in the census are tailored to the industry in which the business operates. The major change in this survey will be the way respondents report their primary business activity. In the past, respondents provided a brief description of their primary business activity. Respondents will now choose the economic sector of their business and then select from a list of business activities. If the respondent does not see their business activity listed, then they will provide a brief description of their business activity. This is the same methodology that the Census Bureau uses in the Economic Census to assign industry classification. Additionally, there will no longer be a paper form on which to report. Respondents can report over the Internet or by telephone. However, we will work with the individual respondents if reporting on the Internet or by telephone presents difficulties. Minimal changes will be made to the wording and organization of existing questions and instructions. IV. Request for Comments Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden (including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information collection; they also will become a matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Idaho Roadless Rule permits the Chief of the Forest Service to 
modify Idaho Roadless Area boundaries based on changed circumstances or 
public need after providing public notice and a 45-day public comment 
period. Pursuant to 36 CFR 294.27(b), the Forest Service proposes to 
modify the West Mink Roadless Area boundary, located in the Caribou-
Targhee National Forest, to allow for the relocation and expansion of 
the Gibson Jack trailhead.
    The existing Gibson Jack trailhead outside of Pocatello, Idaho does 
not provide adequate parking to accommodate the trail's high level of 
use. Vehicles must park along the trailhead's access road on adjacent 
private lands. Expansion of the trailhead in its existing location is 
not feasible because of the presence of steep and erodible slopes. The 
West Mink Roadless Area surrounds the trailhead on three sides.
    A flat bench approximately 700 feet west of the existing trailhead 
and inside the roadless area would provide adequate space to 
accommodate trailhead parking and for vehicles pulling trailers. Moving 
the trailhead to this location requires removing 11.4 acres from the 
roadless area and reconstructing approximately 700 feet of a closed 
Forest Service road that currently serves as a non-motorized trail.
    The Forest Service also proposes to eliminate an 18.8-acre area (or 
``cherry stem'') that has been carved out of the same roadless area. 
This 18.8-acre area follows a closed Forest Service road which has 
since been converted to a motorized trail. The Forest Service will add 
these 18.8 acres to the Roadless Area and remove the previously 
mentioned 11.4 acres to accommodate the new trailhead, resulting in a 
net increase of 7.4 acres to the West Mink Roadless Area. The boundary 
modification would improve the area's manageability for the Caribou-
Targhee National Forest. The trailhead relocation would provide 
improved access and safety for trail users and meet current and 
projected recreation demand. A map of the proposed modifications is 
available at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/roadless/idahoroadlessrule/?cid=stelprdb5382399.
    The Forest Service prepared an environmental assessment to analyze 
the impacts of the trailhead relocation and roadless area boundary 
modifications. The Chief of the Forest Service is the responsible 
official for the boundary modification under the Idaho Roadless Rule. 
The Forest Supervisor, Caribou-Targhee National Forest, is the 
responsible official for the trailhead relocation project. The Forest 
Service will consider public comments on the proposed boundary 
modifications in coordination with the proposed trailhead relocation. 
The environmental assessment, finding of no significant impact, and 
draft decision notice for the trailhead relocation are available at the 
Caribou-Targhee National Forest Supervisor's Office, 1405 Hollipark 
Drive, Idaho Falls, ID 83401 or on the Internet at: www.fs.usda.gov/projects/ctnf/landmanagement/projects. The trailhead relocation project 
is subject to the objection process at 36 CFR part 218 and 219.
