Abstract:
PLEASE NOTE: This Information Collection Review Request is a combination of three OMB control numbers: 0596-0182, 0596-0183, and 0596-0184, each with an expiration of 2/2012. Total Burden and costs for all three are represented in this one ICR. It is the Forest Service's intention, upon OMB approval of this consolidation, to discontinue both the 0596-0183 and 0596-0184 control numbers. The USDA Forest Service has a need to collect information for the use in testing and evaluating chemicals that are used in wildland fire activities. This is necessary for respondents to ensure the chemicals used in the products (1) are safe for personnel involved in wildland fire activities, (2) are safe for the environment, (3) do not lead to corrosion of equipment; and (4) to expedited procurement of the products.
