 Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

May 10, 2010.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
regarding (a) whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy 
of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology should be addressed to: Desk 
Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), [email protected] or 
fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, 
Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-7602. Comments regarding these 
information collections are best assured of having their full effect if 
received within 30 days of this notification. Copies of the 
submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-8681.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Forest Service

    Title: 36 CFR Part 228, Subpart C--Disposal of Mineral Materials.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0081.
    Summary of Collection: The Forest Service (FS) is responsible for 
overseeing the management of National Forest System land. The Multiple-
Use Mining Act of 1955 (30 U.S.C. 601, 603, 611-615) gives the FS 
specific authority to manage the disposal of mineral materials mined 
from National Forest land. FS uses form FS-2800-9, ``Contract for the 
Sale of Mineral Materials'' to collect detailed information on the 
planned mining and disposal operations as well as a contract for the 
sale of mineral materials.
    Need and Use of the Information: FS will use information collected 
from the public to ensure that environmental impacts of mineral 
material disposal are minimized. A review of the operating plan 
provides the authorized officer the opportunity to determine if the 
proposed operation is appropriate and consistent with all applicable 
land management laws and regulations. The information also provides the 
means of documenting planned operations and the terms and conditions 
that the FS deems necessary to protect surface resources. If FS did not 
collect this information, a self-policing situation would exist.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 4,266.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 10,665.
