Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

July 2, 2019.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding: Whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques 
and other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by August 
8, 2019 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: 
Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office 
Building, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503. Commenters are 
encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to: 
[email protected] or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental

7602. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Forest Service

    Title: Forest Service Ride-Along Program Application.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0170.
    Summary of Collection: The Forest Service (FS) ride-along program 
allows the general public or other interested person to accompany 
agency law enforcement personnel as they conduct their normal field 
duties, including access to and discussions about agency law 
enforcement vehicles, procedures, and facilities. The program provides 
an opportunity for officers to enhance the public's understanding and 
support of the agency program and to increase agency understanding of 
public and community concerns. The program also aids the agency's 
recruitment program by allowing interested persons to observe a 
potential career choice or to participate in innovative intern-type 
programs, and by allowing the agency to showcase the quality of its 
program and services.
    Need and Use of the Information: Information will be collected from 
any person who voluntarily approaches the FS and wishes to participate 
in the program. The FS 5300-33 program application form will be used to 
conduct a minimal background check and the FS 5300-34 is a liability 
waiver form that requires the applicant's signature and their written 
assurance that they have read and understood the form. The information 
collected from the forms will be used by FS and, in appropriate part, 
by any person or entity needed and authorized by the FS to provide the 
needed background information (primarily applicable local law 
enforcement agencies, state criminal justice agencies maintaining state 
justice records, and by the FBI). If the information is not collected, 
the program could not operate.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 182.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (per applicant).
    Total Burden Hours: 30.
