Forest Service

    Title: Significant Cave Nomination.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0244.
    Summary of Collection: The Federal Cave Resources Protection Act 
(FCRPA) [Pub. L. 100-691, 107 Stat. 4546] requires the Secretaries of 
Agriculture and Interior to identify and protect significant caves on 
Federal lands within their respective jurisdictions. The information 
covered in this collection applies to caves on Federal lands 
administered by the Forest Service. The FCRPA does not define what 
constitutes a ``significant'' cave, but it does require the 
Secretaries, in cooperation and consultation with each other, to issue 
regulations that define criteria for identification of significant 
caves found at (16 U.S.C. 4303(a)).
    Need and Use of the Information: In accordance with FCRPA, the FS 
collects information from appropriate private sector interests, 
including ``cavers,'' to update a list of significant caves under 
USDA's jurisdiction. FS will use form FS-2800-0023 ``Significant Cave 
Nomination Worksheet'' to collect name, address, telephone number of 
individual or organization submitting the nomination and the individual 
who is knowledgeable about the resources in the cave; name and location 
of the cave, a discussion of how the cave meets the criteria, studies, 
maps, research papers and other supporting documentation. If this 
information is not collected FS might not become aware of potentially 
significant caves' existence or have insufficient information upon 
which to base a judgment as to their significance.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals and households.
    Number of Respondents: 10.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: One time.
    Total Burden Hours: 110.
