BILLING CODE 3411–15–P
Forest Service
Title: Environmental Justice and the
Urban Forest in Atlanta, GA.
OMB Control Number: 0596–0237.
Summary of Collection:
Environmental justice is defined by the
Environmental Protection Agency as the
‘‘fair treatment and meaningful
involvement of all people . . . with
respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of
environmental laws, regulations and
policies.’’ This information collection
addresses environmental justice in
urban settings. Cities are often (though
not always) places of particular concern
for environmental justice inquires due
to the greater concentration of
environmental pollutants and human
populations. The following statutes and
regulations are relevant to this request
for information collection: Executive
Order 12898, Memorandum of
Understanding on Environmental
Justice and Executive Order 12898,
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (Pub. L. 91–190), the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 (Pub. L. 88–352).
Need and Use of the Information: The
study provides an integrated approach
to assessing residents’ relationship to
the urban forest. The collection
addresses environmental justice from
the perspective of urban trees; and how
this resource may contribute to
environmental justice in a given
community or neighborhood. The
agency will use this information to
determine whether their programs,
policies, and activities have
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority populations and lowincome populations. If the information
is not collected, efforts at the federal
level to evaluate environmental justice
will remain limited to methodologies
that reproduce incomplete assessments
of environmental justice.
Description of Respondents:
Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents: 1,900.
