SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Advance Notice and Public Comment Procedures Section 4103 of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116–9, Title IV (Sportsmen’s Access and Related Matters)), hereinafter ‘‘the Dingell Act,’’ requires the Forest Service to provide advance notice and opportunity for public comment before temporarily or permanently closing any National Forest System (NFS) lands to hunting, fishing, or recreational shooting. Section 4103 of the Dingell Act applies to the proposed permanent order prohibiting recreational shooting in the northern Canyon Lakes, Sulphur, and southern Clear Creek Ranger Districts of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland, and to the proposed permanent order prohibiting recreational shooting in the northern Clear Creek and southern Boulder Ranger Districts of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland. The public notice and comment process in section 4103(b)(2) of the Dingell Act requires the Forest Service to publish a notice of intent in the Federal Register of the proposed permanent orders in advance of the public comment period for the proposed permanent orders. This notice meets the requirement to publish a notice of intent in the Federal Register in advance of the public comment period. Following the notice of intent, section 4103(b)(2) of the Dingell Act requires an opportunity for public comment on proposed temporary or permanent hunting, fishing, or recreational shooting orders. Because the proposed orders would permanently prohibit recreational shooting in the southern Boulder, northern Canyon Lakes, Sulphur, and Clear Creek Ranger Districts of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland, the public comment period must be at least 60 days. Beginning on May 5, 2023, the Forest Service will accept public comments on the proposed permanent orders for 60 days. The notice of opportunity for public comment will be posted on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Pawnee National Grassland’s web page at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/arp/ recshootingmgt. Section 4103(b)(2) of the Dingell Act requires the Forest Service to respond to public comments received on the proposed permanent orders before issuing final permanent orders, including an explanation of how any significant issues raised by the comments were resolved and, if applicable, how resolution of those issues affected the proposed permanent orders or the justification for the proposed permanent orders. The final permanent orders, maps, justification for the final permanent orders, and response to comments on the proposed permanent orders will be posted on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland’s web page at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/arp/ recshootingmgt. Background and Need The proposed permanent orders would implement applicable land management plan direction in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland’s 2019 Land and Resource Management Plan amendment (Plan Amendment). Shooting sports are long-standing and appropriate uses of NFS lands. The Plan Amendment direction includes a management goal of providing for recreational shooting opportunities across the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in a manner that addresses public health and safety concerns. The Plan Amendment also identifies NFS lands unsuitable for recreational shooting. Consistent with the Plan Amendment, the proposed permanent orders would prohibit recreational shooting, defined as discharging a firearm, air rifle or gas gun, on 94,900 acres of NFS lands designated as unsuitable for recreational shooting in southern Clear Creek, Jefferson, Park, northern Larimer, and Grand Counties, Colorado, which include the northern Canyon Lakes, Sulphur, and southern Clear Creek Ranger Districts of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland, and on 46,195 acres of NFS lands designated as unsuitable for recreational shooting in northern Clear Creek and Gilpin Counties, Colorado, which include the southern Boulder and northern Clear Creek Ranger Districts of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland. Implementation of the proposed permanent orders is consistent with the framework in the decision notice for the Plan Amendment for phasing out E:\FR\FM\28APN1.SGM 28APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 82 / Friday, April 28, 2023 / Notices recreational shooting as developed target ranges are constructed and opened for public use in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland.

The Household Pulse Survey was designed to meet a need for timely information associated with household experiences during the Covid–19 pandemic. The Department is committed to ensuring that the data collected by the Household Pulse Survey continue to meet information needs as they may evolve over the course of the pandemic. This notice serves to inform of the Department’s intent to request clearance from OMB to make some revisions to the Household Pulse Survey questionnaire. To ensure that the data collected by the Household Pulse Survey continue to meet information needs as they evolve over the course of the pandemic, the Census Bureau submits this Request for Revision to an Existing Collection for a revised Phase 3.9 questionnaire. Phase 3.9 includes an experiment involving new detailed race and ethnicity questions, as well as new questions on the use of antivirals to treat COVID, how households obtain COVID VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:44 Apr 27, 2023 Jkt 259001 tests, the use of infant formula with babies, children’s mental health treatment, and pressure to move from current residence. There are also modifications to existing children’s vaccine booster, COVID testing, infant formula, reasons not working, unemployment insurance, Medicaid, and inflation items. Several questions will be removed for Phase 3.9, including replacing the current race/ethnicity items, and questions about the receipt of updated COVID vaccines, intent to vaccinate children, childcare arrangements, children’s mental health and behaviors, current rent amount, use of emergency rental assistance, and how children receive their education. It is the Department’s intention to commence data collection using the revised instrument on or about December 7, 2022. The Department invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public’s reporting burden.

Advance Notice and Public Comment Procedures

    Section 4103 of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, 
and Recreation Act of 2019 (Pub. L. 116-9, Title IV (Sportsmen's Access 
and Related Matters)), hereinafter ``the Dingell Act,'' requires the 
Forest Service to provide advance notice and opportunity for public 
comment before temporarily or permanently closing any National Forest 
System (NFS) lands to hunting, fishing, or recreational shooting. 
Section 4103 of the Dingell Act applies to the proposed permanent order 
prohibiting recreational shooting in the northern Canyon Lakes, 
Sulphur, and southern Clear Creek Ranger Districts of the Arapaho and 
Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland, and to the 
proposed permanent order prohibiting recreational shooting in the 
northern Clear Creek and southern Boulder Ranger Districts of the 
Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland. 
The public notice and comment process in section 4103(b)(2) of the 
Dingell Act requires the Forest Service to publish a notice of intent 
in the Federal Register of the proposed permanent orders in advance of 
the public comment period for the proposed permanent orders. This 
notice meets the requirement to publish a notice of intent in the 
Federal Register in advance of the public comment period.
    Following the notice of intent, section 4103(b)(2) of the Dingell 
Act requires an opportunity for public comment on proposed temporary or 
permanent hunting, fishing, or recreational shooting orders. Because 
the proposed orders would permanently prohibit recreational shooting in 
the southern Boulder, northern Canyon Lakes, Sulphur, and Clear Creek 
Ranger Districts of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and 
Pawnee National Grassland, the public comment period must be at least 
60 days. Beginning on May 5, 2023, the Forest Service will accept 
public comments on the proposed permanent orders for 60 days. The 
notice of opportunity for public comment will be posted on the Arapaho

to respond to public comments received on the proposed permanent orders 
before issuing final permanent orders, including an explanation of how 
any significant issues raised by the comments were resolved and, if 
applicable, how resolution of those issues affected the proposed 
permanent orders or the justification for the proposed permanent 
orders. The final permanent orders, maps, justification for the final 
permanent orders, and response to comments on the proposed permanent 
orders will be posted on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and 
Pawnee National Grassland's web page at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/arp/recshootingmgt.

Background and Need

    The proposed permanent orders would implement applicable land 
management plan direction in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests 
and Pawnee National Grassland's 2019 Land and Resource Management Plan 
amendment (Plan Amendment). Shooting sports are long-standing and 
appropriate uses of NFS lands. The Plan Amendment direction includes a 
management goal of providing for recreational shooting opportunities 
across the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in a manner that 
addresses public health and safety concerns. The Plan Amendment also 
identifies NFS lands unsuitable for recreational shooting. Consistent 
with the Plan Amendment, the proposed permanent orders would prohibit 
recreational shooting, defined as discharging a firearm, air rifle or 
gas gun, on 94,900 acres of NFS lands designated as unsuitable for 
recreational shooting in southern Clear Creek, Jefferson, Park, 
northern Larimer, and Grand Counties, Colorado, which include the 
northern Canyon Lakes, Sulphur, and southern Clear Creek Ranger 
Districts of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee 
National Grassland, and on 46,195 acres of NFS lands designated as 
unsuitable for recreational shooting in northern Clear Creek and Gilpin 
Counties, Colorado, which include the southern Boulder and northern 
Clear Creek Ranger Districts of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National 
Forests and Pawnee National Grassland.
    Implementation of the proposed permanent orders is consistent with 
the framework in the decision notice for the Plan Amendment for phasing 
out
