Forest Service

    Title: Small Business Timber Set-Aside Program: Appeal Procedures 
on Recomputation of Shares.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0141.
    Summary of Collection: The Forest Service (FS) administers the 
Small Business Timber Sale Set-Aside Program in cooperation with the 
Small Business Administration (SBA) under the authorities of the Small 
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631), which establishes Federal policy 
regarding assistance provided to small businesses; the National Forest 
Management Act of 1976; the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 
522); and SBA's regulations found at 13 CFR part 121. The Set-Aside 
Program is designed to ensure that qualifying small business 
manufacturers can purchase a fair portion of National Forest System 
sawtimber offered for sale.
    Need and Use of the Information: Under the program, the FS must re-
compute the shares of timber sales to be set aside for qualifying small 
businesses every five years based on the actual volume of sawtimber 
purchased by small businesses. Re-computation of shares must occur if 
there is a change in manufacturing capability, if the purchaser size 
class changes, or if certain purchaser(s) discontinue operations. The 
appeal information is collected in writing and is possible, in most 
locations to be sent via email and attached documents to a Forest 
Service Officer. The collected information is reviewed by FS officials 
who use the information to render decisions related to re-computations 
of timber sale share to be set-aside for small business timber 
purchasers.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 40.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 800.
