Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request: Food Stamp Program Pre-Screening Tool Survey
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice invites the general public and other public agencies to comment on the proposed extension of this collection. The information collection involves the use of a web-based pre-screening tool for the general public to use to determine potential eligibility for Food Stamp Program benefits. A new component of this tool collects survey data about the usability of the tool. Some data provided by the users will be captured and retained for analytical purposes. No personal identifiers such as last names, social security numbers, birthdates, etc. will be collected or retained.
Commuted Traveltime
We are amending the regulations concerning overtime services provided by employees of the Agency's Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) and Veterinary Services (VS) programs by adding or amending commuted traveltime allowances for travel between certain locations in Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico. Commuted traveltime allowances are the periods of time required for PPQ or VS employees to travel from their dispatch points and return there from the places where they perform Sunday, holiday, or other overtime duty. The Government charges a fee for certain overtime services provided by PPQ and VS employees and, under certain circumstances, the fee may include the cost of commuted traveltime. This action is necessary to inform the public of commuted traveltime for these locations.
Five Buttes Interface Vegetation Management Project, Deschutes National Forest, Deschutes and Klamath Counties, OR
The USDA, Forest Service, will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on a proposed action to maintain and restore forest health conditions within the 160,000-acre planning area known as Five Buttes Interface.

The agency will give notice of the full environmental analysis and decision making process so interested and affected people may participate and contribute to the final decision.

Irish Potatoes Grown in Washington; Increased Assessment Rate
This rule would increase the assessment rate established for the State of Washington Potato Committee (Committee) for the 2005-2006 and subsequent fiscal periods from $0.002 to $0.0035 per hundredweight of potatoes handled. The Committee locally administers the marketing order which regulates the handling of Irish potatoes grown in Washington. Authorization to assess potato handlers enables the Committee to incur expenses that are reasonable and necessary to administer the program. The fiscal period begins July 1 and ends June 30. The assessment rate would remain in effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated.
Ketchikan Misty Fiords Ranger District; Tongass National Forest; Alaska; Traitors Cove Timber Sale Environmental Impact Statement
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to harvest timber in the Traitors Cove area of northern Revillagigedo Island on the Ketchikan Misty Fiords Ranger District, Tongass National Forest. This environmental impact statement combines the project areas from three formerly proposed timber harvest projects. These projects were scoped under the Francis Cove Timber Sale, SW Neets Timber Sale, and Rockfish Timber Sale projects. A determination was made that there was a possibility of significant cumulative effects on these project areas and therefore a decision was made to prepare an EIS. The proposed action would harvest about 16 million board feet (MMBF) of timber on approximately 1000 acres. The project would construct about eight miles of road.
