877–8339, 24 hours a day, every day of
the year, including holidays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Annual Wildfire Summary
Report.
OMB Number: 0596–0025.
Expiration Date of Approval: October
31, 2019.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Cooperative Forestry
Assistance Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2101
(note) Sec. 10) requires the Forest
Service to collect information about
wildfire suppression efforts by State and
local firefighting agencies in support of
congressional funding requests for the
Forest Service State and Private Forestry
Cooperative Fire Program. The program
provides supplemental funding for State
and local firefighting agencies. The
Forest Service works cooperatively with
State and local firefighting agencies to
support their fire suppression efforts.
State fire marshals and State forestry
officials use form FS–3100–8 (Annual
Wildfire Summary Report) to report
information to the Forest Service
regarding State and local wildfire
suppression efforts. The Forest Service
is unable to assess the effectiveness of
the State and Private Forestry
Cooperative Fire Program without this
information. Forest Service managers
evaluate the information to determine if
the Cooperative Fire Program funds
used by State and local fire agencies
have improved fire suppression
capabilities. The Forest Service shares
the information with Congress as part of
the annual request for funding for this
program.
The information collected includes
the number of fires responded to by
State or local firefighting agencies
within a fiscal year, as well as the
following information pertaining to
such fires:
• Fire type (timber, structural, or
grassland);
• Size (in acres) of the fires;
• Cause of fires (lightning, campfires,
arson, etc.); and
• Suppression costs associated with
the fires.
The data gathered is not available
from any other sources.
Estimate of Burden per Response: 30
minutes.
Type of Respondents: State fire
marshals or State forestry officials.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 56.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 28 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
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval.

Title: Land Exchanges.
OMB Number: 0596–0105.
Expiration Date of Approval: October

Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Land exchanges are
discretionary, voluntary real estate

Agriculture (acting by and through the
Forest Service) and a non-Federal
exchange party (or parties). Land
exchanges can be initiated by a nonFederal party (or parties), an agent of a
landowner, a broker, a third party, or a
non-Federal public agency.
Each land exchange requires
preparation of an Agreement to Initiate
as required by Title 36 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), part 254, subpart A—
section 254.4—Agreement to Initiate.
The Agreement to Initiate document
specifies the preliminary and nonbinding intentions of the non-Federal
land exchange party and the Forest
Service in pursuing a land exchange.
The Agreement to Initiate can contain
such information as the description of
properties being considered in the land
exchange, an implementation schedule
of action items, identification of the
party responsible for each action item,
as well as target dates for completion of
each action item.
As the exchange proposal develops,
the Forest Service and the non-Federal
land exchange party may enter into a
binding Exchange Agreement, pursuant
to Title 36 CFR part 254, subpart A,
section 254.14—Exchange Agreement.
The Exchange Agreement documents
the conditions that must be met to
complete the exchange. The Exchange
Agreement can contain information
such as identification of parties,
description of lands and interests to be
exchanged, identification of all reserved
and outstanding interest, and all other
terms and conditions necessary to
complete the exchange.
The Forest Service collects the
information from the non-Federal party
(or parties) necessary to complete the
Agreement to Initiate and the Exchange
Agreement. The information is collected

The Chippewa National
Forest is seeking public comments on a
proposal that would change recreation
fees to enhance campgrounds. Fee
changes are being proposed at the
Norway Beach Recreation Area,
including an $8 amenity fee for those
campsites with electricity. Fees are
assessed based on the level of amenities
and services provided, cost of
operations and maintenance, and
market assessment. These fees are
proposed and will be determined upon
further analysis and public comment.
Funds from fees would be used for the
continued operation and maintenance
and improvements to the facilities
within the recreation areas. An analysis
of nearby recreation facilities with
similar amenities shows that the
proposed fees are reasonable and typical
of similar sites in the area.
DATES: To ensure consideration of
public comments, comments shall be
submitted on or before September 30,
2019. If approved, new fees would be
implemented in 2020.

Recreation Area campgrounds include:
The Cass Lake Loop is planned to
decrease from $21 per night to $16 per

including: Walk in access only and
removal of the shower and flush toilet
building. Norway Beach Loop will be
increased from $21 per night to $22 plus
$8 amenity fee for electrical hook ups,
once completed. The Norway Beach
group site fees are proposed to be $55

$22 per night to be in line with the other
campgrounds in the Norway Beach
Recreation Area.
Revenue generated from the proposed
fees would be used to make
improvements, such as the addition of
electrical hook ups as well as upgrades
in existing hook ups to 50 amps;
upgrading picnic tables, grills, fire rings,
restroom facilities, signage; new septic
systems in three campgrounds loops in
Norway Beach Recreation Area and
addition of group sites in the Norway
Beach Loop.
Fees are assessed based on the level
of amenities and services provided, cost
of operations and maintenance, and
market assessment. The fees are
proposed and will be determined upon
further analysis and public comment.
An analysis of nearby recreation
facilities with similar amenities shows
that the proposed fees are reasonable

The Federal Recreation Lands
Enhancement Act (Title VII, Pub. L.
108–447) requires the Secretary of
Agriculture to publish a six month
advance notice in the Federal Register
whenever new recreation fee areas are
proposed. Once public involvement is
complete, these new fees will be
reviewed by a Recreation Resource
Advisory Committee prior to a final
decision and implementation.
