SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description of Information Collection Request Title: Inventory Property Management. OMB Number: 0560–0234. Expiration Date of Approval: 06/30/ 2023. Type of Request: Revision. Abstract: FSA’s Farm Loan Programs provide supervised credit in the form of loans to family farmers to purchase real estate and equipment and finance agricultural production. Inventory Property Management, as specified in 7 CFR part 767, provides the requirements for the management, lease, and sale of security property acquired by FSA. FSA may take title to real estate as part of dealing with a problem loan either by entering a winning bid to protect its interest at a foreclosure sale, or by accepting a deed of conveyance in lieu of foreclosure. Information collections established in the regulation are necessary for FSA to determine an applicant’s eligibility to lease or purchase inventory property and to ensure the applicant’s ability to make VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:16 Feb 14, 2023 Jkt 259001 payment on the lease or purchase amount. The number of responses and burden hours decreased by 79 and 46, respectively. While the overall number of inventory properties on hand increased 4.76% from the last collection, the decrease in responses and burden hours is due to a reduction in the estimated number of inventory properties that will be sold annually. The number projected to be sold has been revised downward due to the current suspension of foreclosures for direct FLP loans and anticipated significantly decreased rate at which new properties are acquired by FSA. Additionally, sales are managed in order to not flood the market and usage of forms should stay consistent. For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the formula used to calculate the total burden hour is the estimated average time per responses hours multiplied by the estimated total annual responses. Estimate of Average Time to Respond: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.56 hours per response. Type of Respondents: Individuals or households, business, or other for-profit farms. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 160. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Estimated Total Annual Responses: 160. Estimated Average Time per Responses: 0.56 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 90 hours. We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information collection to help us to: (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of FSA, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of FSA’s estimate of burden including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (4) 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 or other forms of information technology. All responses to this notice, including names and addresses when provided, will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: SF–299 Application for Transportation, Utility Systems, Telecommunications and Facilities on Federal Lands and Property. OMB Number: 0596–0249. Expiration Date of Approval: February 28, 2023. Type of Request: Extension with no Revision of SF–299, Application for Transportation, Utility Systems, Telecommunications and Facilities on Federal Lands and Property, into a common form. Abstract: Section 6409 of the MiddleClass Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–96) contains provisions directing the Administrator of the General Services Administration to develop a common form for applications for easements and rights-ofway for all executive agencies that shall be used by applicants with respect to the buildings or other property of each such agency. On June 14, 2012, the President signed Executive Order 13616, ‘‘Accelerating Broadband Infrastructure Deployment’’. Section 4 of Executive Order 13616 directed the General Services Administration (GSA) to develop and use one or more templates for uniform contract, application, and permit terms to facilitate nongovernment entities’ use of Federal property for the deployment of broadband facilities. GSA created a Common Form Applications (GSA 3729). On January 8, 2018, the President signed Executive Order 13821, ‘‘Streamlining and Expediting Requests to Locate Broadband Facilities in Rural America,’’ which directed GSA to (1) evaluate the effectiveness of the GSA Common Form Application and (2) determine whether any revisions to the GSA Common Form Application were appropriate. GSA completed their evaluation of the use of the Common Form Application and determined that all other land management agencies were utilizing the SF–299 and not the Common Form Application. To ensure a coordinated and consistent approach across all agencies’ GSA determined that with minor modifications, the SF– 299 would serve as the standard application form for all agencies. The information collection requirements are necessary for the Forest Service to issue and administer special use authorizations that allow the public to use and occupy of National Forest System (NFS) lands under these authorities. The information collected is used by Forest Service officials (unless otherwise noted) to ensure that uses of VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:16 Feb 14, 2023 Jkt 259001 NFS lands are authorized, in the public interest, and compatible with the Agency’s mission; and/or record authorization of use granted by appropriate Forest Service officials. The Department of the Interior (DOI) statutes that authorize the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), National Park Service (NPS), and Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), along with the statutes for the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), and the General Services Administration (GSA) authorize their collection of information utilizing form SF–299 ‘‘Application for Transportation, Utility Systems, Telecommunications and Facilities on Federal Lands and Property.’’ Several statutes authorize the Forest Service to issue and administer authorizations for use and occupancy of NFS lands and collect information from the public for those purposes. The laws authorizing the collection of this information include the Organic Administration Act of 1897 (16 U.S.C. 551); Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA, 43 U.S.C. 1761–1771); Act of March 4, 1915 (16 U.S.C. 497); Alaska Term Permit Act of March 30, 1948 (16 U.S.C. 497a); Act of September 3, 1954 (68 Stat. 1146; 43 U.S.C. 931c, 931d); National Forest Ski Area Permit Act (16 U.S.C. 497b); section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 185); National Forest Roads and Trails Act (FRTA, 16 U.S.C. 532–538); section 7 of the Granger-Thye Act (16 U.S.C. 580d); Act of May 26, 2000 (16 U.S.C. 460l–6d); Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (16 U.S.C. 6801–6814); Archeological Resource Protection Act of October 31, 1979 (16 U.S.C. 470aa–470mm); and the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as amended. Forest Service regulations implementing these authorities, found at 36 CFR part 251, subpart B, contain information collection requirements, including submission of applications, execution of forms, and imposition of terms and conditions that entail information collection requirements, such as the requirement to submit annual financial information, to prepare and update an operating plan; to prepare and update a maintenance plan, and to submit compliance reports and information updates. The information helps the Forest Service identify the environmental and social impacts of special uses for purposes of compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act and program administration. Information collection occurs via application forms, as well as terms and conditions in special use authorizations PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 9857 and operating plans. Information is required from proponents and applicants to evaluate proposals and applications to use or occupy NFS lands. Special use authorizations encompass a variety of activities ranging from individual private uses to large-scale commercial facilities and public services.
