Short Statement: The Forest Service is requesting approval for a non-substantial change to information collection 0596-0082 (Special Uses). The Agency published a notice in the Federal Register on September 17, 2008 (73 FR 53823) announcing the issuance of a final Forest Service internal directive for outfitting and guiding (attached). The issuance of the final revised directive necessitates changes to the currently approved information collection package for Special Uses. The Forest Service requests OMB approval of the following as a non-substantial change to Information Collection 0596-0082 (Special Uses). These proposed changes are associated with FS-2700-36 (new), FS-2700-37 (new), FS-2700-4i, and Standard Form 299. The Forest Service is also asking for the transfer of a form from OMB approved Forest Service information collection 0596-0199 (CUFFA) into the Special Uses information collection (0596-0082). The Agency intends to let package 0596-0199 expire without renewal and form FS-2700-28 is the only form from the package that the Forest Service wishes to retain. The current OMB approvals for information collections 0596-0199 and 0596-0082 both expire on May 31, 2009. The transfer will result in a decrease of 40 hours to information collection 0596-0199 and subsequent increase of 40 burden hours to information collection 0596-0082. The overall impact on the public will remain the same.
