Abstract:
Forest Industry census collects current consumptive and non-consumptive timber use levels from public and private lands to evaluate trends in resource levels. The collection provides timber industry representatives, researchers, natural resource analysts, and decision makers with continuing comprehensive assessments of the present and future demand for renewable wood resources, from both public and private timberlands, in order to forecast future supplies and analyze changes in demand. Respondents are primary wood-using industries. Residential Fuelwood and Post Data surveys collect data to determine the harvest of forest resources for residential use (non-industrial). Data collection questionnaires are sent to a random sample of households in an individual State by the cooperating State agency.

Short Statement:
This revision submission incorporates the previously approved discontinued information collection package Residential Fuelwood and Post Assessment (OMB 0596-0009). The estimated total burden of 2,019 hours (Table 3) is an increase of burden hours from the previously approved collection. The change is the result of additional 40 pulp and composite panel mills, annually, and an average of 493 mills per year that were not included in the previous submission. The addition of the Residential Fuelwood and Post Questionnaire to OMB 0596-0010 will add an additional 72 burden hours.
