Notice of Public Meeting of Scientific Earthquake Studies Advisory Committee, 66135-66136 [2024-18049]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 14, 2024 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Proposed Revisions to This Information Collection With this submission, we propose to add an additional form, Form 3–1383– EZ, General Activities Special Use Permit Simplified Application, which is a simplified version of 3–1383–G, General Activities Special Use Permit Application. The intent of this form is to provide a less intimidating and less intensive application for individuals wishing to engage in common, noneconomic activities such as recreational berry picking or boat mooring. We expect this optional ‘‘EZ’’ form will reduce public burden, because, filling out form 3–1383–G, applicants will often consider even questions that are not relevant to them in order to determine whether a response is warranted. Our staff will have the option to offer this form after an initial request is received if the majority of questions on the full 1383–G form are expected to be left blank. Form 3–1383– EZ asks no questions that do not already appear on form 3–1383–G. We are making alterations to the options available to select on question 13a in Form 3–1383–C, Commercial Activities Special Use Permit Application. Some of the existing options are rarely selected and certain types of activity are often entered as ‘‘Other.’’ We are adding some of these common activities in an effort to streamline completion of the form and collection of the activity type. Specifically, the 3–1383–C form includes an option for mineral lease that is rarely used. We propose to strike that option and add an option for food and beverage vendors such as food trucks. We propose to change ‘‘Recreation Events’’ to ‘‘Events’’ to make it more broadly applicable. We also propose to remove ‘‘Cabins’’ and add ‘‘Fishing/ Frogging’’ to cover these types of commercial use. On form 3–1383–C, we also propose to modify the wording of question 11 to clarify the requested information. The present wording often leads to an answer which provides only a portion of the timing information that we require. The new question is worded, ‘‘Describe the specific dates, times, and frequency of activities. Provide an occupancy timeline showing how the activity is expected to proceed.’’ No substantive changes are being made to forms 3–1383–G (General Activities Special Use Permit Application), 3–1383–R (Research and Monitoring Special Use Permit Application), or 3–3–1384 (Bid Sheet— National Wildlife Refuge System); however, we plan to make minor VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:22 Aug 13, 2024 Jkt 262001 updates to the forms’ layout to improve readability and functionality. In some cases, selection boxes come after an option and in other cases the boxes come before. We are updating the forms to be more consistent. The public may request a copy of any form contained in this information collection by sending a request to the Service Information Collection Clearance Officer (see ADDRESSES).
