The Federal Emergency
Management Agency, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public to take this opportunity
to comment on a revision of a currently

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Gayle Kelch, Statistician, FEMA, United
States Fire Administration, National
Fire Data Center at (301) 447–1154 or
email gayle.kelch@fema.dhs.gov. You
may contact the Information
Management Division for copies of the
proposed collection of information at
email address: FEMA-InformationCollections-Management@fema.dhs.gov.
The
Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act
of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–498), as enacted in
15 U.S.C. chapter 49, provides for the
gathering and analyzing of data as
deemed useful and applicable for fire
departments. The U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA) receives many
requests from fire service organizations
and the general public for information
related to fire departments, including
total number of departments, number of
stations per department, population
protected, and number of firefighters.
The USFA also has a need for this
information to guide programmatic
decisions and produce mailing lists for
USFA publications.
Recommendations for the creation of
the fire department census database
came out of a Blue Ribbon Panel’s
review of the USFA. The report
included a review of the structure,
mission, and funding of the USFA,
future policies, programmatic needs,
course development and delivery, and
the role of the USFA to reflect changes
in the fire service. As a result of those
recommendations, the USFA is working
to identify all fire departments in the
United States to develop a database that
will include information related to
demographics, capabilities, and
activities of fire departments
Nationwide. In the fall of 2016, the
USFA renamed the census to the
National Fire Department Registry. In
the fall of 2001, information was
collected from 16,000 fire departments.
Since the first year of the collection, an
additional 11,182 departments have
registered for a total of 27,182 fire
departments. This leaves an estimated
2,818 departments still to respond.
Additionally, about 5,436 current
registered departments are contacted by
USFA each year and are asked to
provide updates to any previously
submitted information.

Establishment of Lost Trail
Conservation Area, Montana
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice advises the public
that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) has established the Lost Trail
Conservation Area (LTCA), the 568th
unit of the National Wildlife Refuge
System. The Service established LTCA
on July 13, 2022, with the purchase of
a 38,052-acre conservation easement in
Flathead and Lincoln counties,
Montana.
SUMMARY:
Information on LTCA,
including a map depicting the approved
conservation area boundary, is available
at https://www.fws.gov/media/lost-trailconservation-area-land-protection-planand-environmental-assessment.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

(720) 591–8458 or via U.S. mail at
Division of Refuge Planning, USFWS,
P.O. Box 25486, DFC, Denver, CO
80225. Individuals in the United States
who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing,
or have a speech disability may dial 711
(TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States
should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
have established the Lost Trail
Conservation Area (LTCA), the 568th
unit of the National Wildlife Refuge
System. We established LTCA on July
13, 2022, with the purchase of a 38,052acre conservation easement in the
northwestern part of Montana, in
Flathead and Lincoln Counties.
Conservation areas are National Wildlife
Refuge System units that consist
primarily or entirely of conservation
easements on private lands. LTCA is
unique in that it includes private
timberland that has historically been
open to the public on a voluntary basis.
The establishment of this conservation
area ensures that public recreational
access to this land is maintained in
perpetuity. LTCA will allow sustainable
commercial timber harvests and provide
wildlife-dependent recreational

opportunities such as hunting, fishing,
hiking, and wildlife viewing.

LTCA’s acquisition boundary
delineates parcels where the Service
may consider negotiations with willing
sellers for easement acquisition.
Conservation easements will protect
critical, State-identified wildlife
corridors; guarantee public access for
sportspersons and outdoor enthusiasts
in perpetuity; and allow for sustainable
timber harvest that supports the local
economy in northwest Montana. The
project protects crucial habitat and
linkage corridors for federally listed
species, including grizzly bear, Canada
lynx, Spalding’s catchfly, and other
federal trust species. This land will also
secure a vital migration corridor for elk
and mule deer. Part of the Heart of the
Salish Priority Area identified in the
Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks’
Secretarial Order 3362, ‘‘State Action
Plan for Big Game Winter Range and
Migration Corridors,’’ the land within
the project area provides over 6,000
hunter-use days per year and is the core
area of the most popular elk-hunting
district in northwest Montana. LTCA
will also support Department of the
Interior Secretarial Orders 3347,
‘‘Conservation Stewardship and
Outdoor Recreation,’’ and 3356,
‘‘Hunting, Fishing, Recreational
Shooting, and Wildlife Conservation
Opportunities and Coordination with
States, Tribes, and Territories,’’ by
enhancing conservation stewardship;
protecting outdoor recreation
opportunities for all Americans,
including opportunities to hunt and
fish; and supporting game species and
their habitats for this generation and
beyond.
LTCA was funded by the Great
American Outdoors Act and Land and
Water Conservation Fund. The Service
worked in partnership with the Trust for
Public Land and the Confederated
Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) to
purchase the 38,052-acre conservation
easement from continuing owner SPP
Montana.
Public Involvement Process
In order to provide the public an
opportunity to engage in the planning
process, and in compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the
Service prepared a draft environmental
assessment (EA) that evaluated two
alternatives and their potential impacts
on the project area. The Service released
the draft EA with a land protection plan
on September 16, 2020, for a 30-day
