Powerline Facility Operation and
Maintenance, Inspections, and

OMB Number: 0596–NEW.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: The Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2018 amended
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA) to add
section 512, which requires the Forest
Service to collect information from
owners and operators of powerline
facilities for development of operating
plans and agreements governing
vegetation management, operation and
maintenance, and inspection of
powerline facilities on National Forest
System (NFS) lands. The collected
information will be evaluated by line
officers and realty specialists at Forest
Service field units where powerline
facilities are located to implement the
requirements of section 512 of FLPMA
regarding operating plans and
agreements governing vegetation
management, operation and
maintenance, and inspections of
powerline facilities.
Affected Public: Individuals, the
private sector (business and nonprofit
entities and state, local, and tribal
governmental entities).
Estimate of Burden per Response: 240
hours.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 10.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,400 hours.
Title: Clause for Vegetation
Management Pilot Program Projects.
OMB Number: 0596–NEW.
Type of Request: NEW.
Abstract: Section 8630 of the
Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018
(Farm Bill) gives the Forest Service
discretion to authorize vegetation
management pilot program projects
under lower liability standards to
holders of an authorization for a
powerline facility or natural gas
pipeline. These pilot projects may be
conducted only on NFS lands that are
not covered by the special use
authorization for the powerline facility

or natural gas pipeline. The pilot
projects must be conducted outside the
linear right-of-way for the associated
powerline facility or natural gas
pipeline; may not extend more than 150
feet from either side of the powerline
facility or natural gas pipeline; and may
not have a total width of more than 200
feet including both sides of the

may not overlap with vegetation
management conducted under the
special use authorization for the
powerline facility or natural gas
pipeline, including removal and
pruning of hazard trees outside the
linear right-of-way for a powerline
facility. The liability provisions in a
special use permit for a pilot project
have no effect on the liability provisions
in the special use authorization for the

pipeline, including the liability
provisions that apply to removal and
pruning of hazard trees inside and
outside the linear right-of-way.
Proposed new clause B–39 in Forest
Service Handbook 2709.11, Chapter 50,

8630 of the Farm Bill and Title V of the

Act, and their implementing
regulations.
Affected Public: Individuals, 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
