Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Forest Service

    Title: Information Collection Pursuant to the Cabin User Fee 
Fairness Act of 2000 (16 U.S.C. 6201-13).
    OMB Control Number: 0596-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The Cabin User Fee Fairness Act (CUFFA) of 
2000 (16 U.S.C. 6201-13) directs the Forest Service (FS) to promulgate 
regulations and adopt policies for assessing a base cabin user fee for 
recreation residence on National Forest System lands. Section 614 of 
CUFFA establishes a ``transition period'', defines how long the 
transition period will last, and provides guidelines on how the annual 
cabin user fees should be assessed and adjusted during the transition 
period. Upon adoption of the final regulations and agency directives, 
recreation resident permit holders will have 2 years to request that 
the FS take one of the following actions to establish a new base cabin 
user fee: (1) Conduct a new appraisal pursuant to the final regulations 
and policies; (2) commission a peer review of an existing appraisal 
report; or (3) establish a new fee based on the market value of the 
typical lot identified in an existing appraisal report that was 
completed and approved after September 30, 1995.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information request is 
necessary for the FS to collect the permit holder's request, agreement, 
and accompanying signatures. The information will also assist the FS in 
establishing an accurate base cabin user fee during the transition 
period prescribed in CUFFA. Failure to collect this information could 
prevent the FS from complying with the provision of CUFFA and deny 
holders the opportunity to exercise one of the three options provided 
under CUFFA.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 305.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (One Time Collection).
    Total Burden Hours: 81.25.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
