Title: 7 CFR part 215, Special Milk
Program for Children.
Form Number: FNS–10 and FNS–777.
OMB Number: 0584–0005.
Expiration Date: January 31, 2019.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Section 3 of the Child
Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966, (42 U.S.C.
1772) authorizes the Special Milk
Program (SMP). It provides for the
appropriation of such sums as may be
necessary to enable the Secretary of
Agriculture to encourage the
consumption of fluid milk by children
in the United States in: (1) Nonprofit
schools of high school grade and under;
and (2) nonprofit nursery schools, child
care centers, settlement houses, summer
camps, and similar nonprofit
institutions devoted to the care and
training of children, which do not
participate in a food service program
authorized under the CNA or the
National School Lunch Act.
Section 10 of the CNA (42 U.S.C.
1779) requires the Secretary of
Agriculture to prescribe such
regulations as deemed necessary to
carry out this Act and the National
School Lunch Act. Pursuant to that
provision, the Secretary has issued 7
CFR part 215, which sets forth policies
and procedures for the administration
and operation of the SMP. State and
local operators of the SMP are required
to meet Federal reporting and
accountability requirements. This
information collection is required to
administer and operate this program.
The Program is administered at the
State, school food authority (SFA), and
child care institution levels; and
operations include the submission of
applications and agreements,
submission and payment of claims, and
maintenance of records. The reporting
and record keeping burden associated
with this revision has decreased from
14,914 hours to 13,325 hours. These
PO 00000

changes are due to decreases in the
number of participating institutions. All
of the reporting and recordkeeping
requirements associated with the SMP
are currently approved by the Office of
Management and Budget and are in
force. This is a revision of the currently
approved information collection.
Forms FNS–10 and FNS–777 collect
information that are associated with this
information collection; however, these
forms are approved under another FNS
information collection. Forms FNS–10
and FNS–777 are used by the State
agencies to report program data. These
forms, and the reporting burden
associated with them, are approved
under OMB# 0584–0594 Food Programs
Reporting System (FPRS) (expiration
date 9/30/19). The recordkeeping
burden associated with these forms is
covered in this collection.

Willamette National Forest, McKenzie
River Ranger District; Oregon; Flat
Country Project
AGENCY:
Forest Service, USDA.
Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
ACTION:
The Flat Country Project is
located on the western slope of the
Cascades, extending from Scott
Mountain to the upper reach of the
McKenzie River, eight miles east of
McKenzie Bridge, Oregon. The project
area is approximately 74,063 acres.
There is a high amount of mid-seral
stands, moving the seral distribution
away from historic levels and limiting
stand structure and species diversity
across the landscape. This project
proposes to thin, reduce the number of
trees, and increase the size and structure
of the remaining forest over time.
Activities proposed include forest
management treatments across
approximately 5,001 acres, including
forest thinning (including riparian
reserve thinning) and regenerating
harvests. Additional proposed activities
would include road work (including
maintenance, reconstruction, temporary
road construction, and
decommissioning), and meadow
enhancements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
encouraging the creation of early seral
habitat, and alerting the recreating
public of operation schedules and haul
routes to avoid conflict. After the review
of the project and due to the complexity
and size of this project, as well as public
input, the decision was made to elevate
the analysis to an environmental impact
statement.
Background
This project was originally an
environmental assessment and was
scoped from May 22 to June 23, 2018.
Scoping comments were received on a
range of concerns and topics. Primary
concerns included: Providing a
sustainable supply of timber products
for local industry, reasons for and
against road construction, preserving
and impacting northern spotted owl
habitat, no logging of mature forests,

Purpose and Need for Action
The Flat Country Project is proposed
to provide a sustainable supply of
timber products, actively manage stands
to improve stand conditions (density,
diversity, and structure), increase
vegetative habitat complexity and
hardwood composition along streams,
and sustainably manage the network of
road systems in the project area. Within
the project area trees are competing for
sunlight, water and nutrients causing
reduced tree growth and vigor. The
productivity and site conditions of
forests in the project area allow for the
production of forest products while
being sensitive to the ecology of the area
and meeting other important natural
values and services.
The proposed action has multiple
facets:
(1) Commercially harvest about 5,001
acres (3.7% of the Project Area) and
regenerate roughly 962 acres (1.0% of
the Project Area). We propose to use
thinning across the majority of the
project and these treatments would
incorporate some untreated areas (skips)
and create gaps of up to three acres with
variable spacing of remaining trees. We
