SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Pesticide-Use Proposal.
OMB Number: 0596–0241.
Expiration Date of Approval: 12/31/
2018.
Type of Request: Renewal with no
revisions.
Abstract: USDA Forest Service (FS)
has Federal land stewardship
responsibilities for approximately 193
million acres. Forest Service land
management responsibilities require use
of integrated pest management, which
in certain circumstances includes use of
pesticides. The Forest Service currently
uses form FS–2100–2, Pesticide-Use
Proposal (PUP) internally to collect and
review pesticide-applications intended
to control pests of grasslands and forests
under its administrative responsibility
(under FSM 2150, and FSH 2109.14).
The Forest Service anticipates requests
from outside entities for application of
pesticides upon Forest Service
administered lands within rights-of-way
easements, permitted lands, and under
similar circumstances.
The Forest Service proposes to use the
PUP form to collect pesticide project
information from those outside entities
to facilitate authorization of selected
activities. Completion of the PUP form
includes identification of pests to be
controlled, pesticide to be applied, and
other regulatory compliance information
such as use of certified applicators.
Because diverse pesticide-use projects
are designed for local conditions, it is
appropriate for the PUP form to be used
to ensure that essential details are
uniformly assembled for review.
Proposals will be evaluated by Forest
Service pesticide use coordinators and
other administrative personnel to
safeguard human health and ecological
protection consistent with Forest
Service land use management programs.
Form and instructions will be posted on
a Forest Service website for ready public
availability.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, and State, Local or Tribal
Governments responsible for vegetation
management along rights-of-way across
lands administered by the Forest
Service.
Estimate of Burden per response: 12
hours.

Respondents: 36.

Comment is Invited: 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 request toward Office of
