of Title III funds received to determine
the amount of Title III funds that must
be returned to the United States
Treasury under section 304(b) of the
Act. The Department of the Interior and
the Bureau of Land Management are
also authorized to participate in this
information collection because the
Bureau of Land Management
administers Federal lands in western
Oregon covered by the Act. The
information will be reviewed by the
appropriate Secretary, or designee, to
verify that participating counties have
certified that funds were expended as
authorized in the Act and to identify
amounts not obligated. The information
also may be used by the Department of
the Interior because it is relevant to its
Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT)
program.
The information will be collected in
the form of conventional
correspondence such as a letter and, at
the respondent’s option, attached tables
or similar graphic display. The Forest
Service provides an optional form for
the convenience of respondents. At the
respondent’s discretion, the information
may be submitted by hard copy and/or
electronically scanned and included as
an attachment to electronic mail. This
becomes record keeping for audit
purposes.
The Secure Rural Schools and
Community Self-Determination Act of
2000 (the Act) (16 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.),
as reauthorized in Public Law 117–58,
requests Resource Advisor Committees
(RAC’s) who receive funds under Title
II of the Act to submit proposal to the
appropriate RAC Forest Service
Designated Federal Officer (DFOs) that
the funds are being requested for that
specific project. Counties typically
receive 20% or less of Secure Rural
Schools funds under Title II, which are
used by willing Federal agencies, State
and local governments, private and
nonprofit entities, and landowners for
protection, restoration and enhancement
of fish and wildlife habitat, and other
natural resource objectives on Federal
land and on non-Federal land where
projects would benefit these resources
on Federal land.
Rather than being distributed to the
State, Title II funds are retained by the
Forest Service and are allocated to
specific projects that have been
reviewed and recommended by a local
Resource Advisory Committee.
Projects are considered for Title II
funding if they make additional
investments in, and create employment
opportunities through:
Improvement of existing
infrastructure maintenance.

Projects must be consistent with the
applicable resource management plan
and with any watershed or subsequent
plan developed pursuant to the resource
management plan. The funds may be
used for projects that have broad-based
support and with objectives that
include: Road, trail, and infrastructure
maintenance or obliteration; soil
productivity improvement; forest
ecosystem health improvements;
watershed restoration and maintenance;
wildlife and fish habitat restoration,
maintenance, and improvement;
noxious and exotic weeds control; and
native species re-establishment.
At least 50% of all project funds are
to be used for projects that are primarily
dedicated to road maintenance,
decommissioning, or obliteration; or to
restoration of streams and watersheds.
Affected Public: Eligible counties and
Federal agencies, state and local
government, private entities.
Estimate of Annual Burden per
Respondent: 1.
Type of Respondents: Respondents
are county officials. The determination
of who is the appropriate certifying
official is at the discretion of the county
and borough and will vary depending
on county or borough organization. For
unorganized boroughs in Alaska and for
participating counties in Vermont, a
state official may provide the
information. Respondents of 91 RACs
are expected to respond each year.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 344 county officials and
91 RACs.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on

As part of this proposal, East Verde
and Flowing Springs picnic sites are
proposed at $12 day-use fee per vehicle.
The full suite of Interagency passes
would be honored. Additionally, the
Tonto National Forest proposes to
charge fees at five Off-Highway Vehicle
(OHV) zones. These zones are currently
in use by the public and are in high
demand due to their easy access from
the Phoenix metro area and the growing
popularity of OHV use. The five OHV
zones include Bulldog Canyon, The
Rolls, Lower Sycamore, St. Clair, and
Desert Vista. OHV permits will be sold
through Recreation.gov and
administered by the Tonto National
Forest. Permits are required for all OHV
operators (not passengers) and are
proposed at $100 per year, $50 per
month, and $10 per day.
New fees would provide increased
visitor opportunities as well as
increased staffing to address operations
and maintenance needs and enhance
customer service. Once public
involvement is complete, these new fees
will be reviewed by a Recreation
Resource Advisory Committee prior to a
final decision and implementation.
Permits will be available through
www.recreation.gov or by calling 1–877–
444–6777. The reservation service
charges a $6.00 fee for permits.
