Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 10, 2017 / Notices
OMB Number: 0596–0217.
Expiration Date of Approval: 02/28/
2018.
Type of Request: Extension with
revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: In order to perform specific
Forest Service activities, Congress
created several authorities to assist the
Agency in carrying out its mission. The
Forest Service issues Federal Financial
Assistance (FFA) awards, which are
grants and cooperative agreements, as
authorized by the Federal Grants and
Cooperative Agreements Act (FGCAA).
This collection includes the following
forms:
(1) Federal Financial Assistance
Standard Forms,
(2) Pre-certification forms,
(3) Award and administrative related
correspondence, and
(4) A new questionnaire related to a
recipient’s accounting system and
financial management capabilities.
In addition to FFA, Congress created
specific authorizations for acts outside
the scope of the FGCAA. Appropriations
language was developed to convey
authority for the Forest Service to enter
into relationships that are outside the
scope of the FGCAA. The Forest Service
implements these authorizations using
instruments such as collection
agreements, FGCAA exempted
agreements, memorandums of
understanding, and other agreements
which mutually benefit participating
parties. These instruments fall outside
the scope of the Federal Acquisition
Regulations (FAR) and often require
financial plans and statements of work.
Forest Service employees collect
information from cooperating parties
from the pre-award to the closeout stage
via telephone calls, emails, postal mail,
and person-to-person meetings to create,
develop, and administer these funded
and non-funded agreements. The
multiple means for respondents to
communicate their responses include
forms, non-forms, electronic documents,
face-to-face, telephone, and Internet.
The scope of information collected
varies; however, it typically includes
the project type, project scope, financial
plan, statement of work, and
cooperator’s business information.
The Forest Service would not be able
to create, develop, and administer these
funded and non-funded agreements
without the collected information. The
Agency would also be unable to develop
or monitor projects, make or receive
payments, or identify financial and
accounting errors.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 to 4
hours annually per person.

Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1 to 4.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 28,000 hours.
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
submission for Office of Management
and Budget approval.
Dated: September 25, 2017.
