    Abstract: The Agency requires special use authorizations involving 
explosives management to include clause B-29 in Forest Service Handbook 
2709.11, Chapter 50, section 52.2 to improve security and 
administration of explosives magazines that are authorized under a 
special use authorization. Clause B-29 requires authorization holders 
to comply with applicable United States Department of Justice, Bureau 
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, state, or Department of 
the Army requirements and applicable Forest Service requirements.
    To allow the Forest Service to monitor holder compliance with 
clause B-29, the revised directives require holders of an authorization 
containing the clause to submit certain documentation annually as part 
of their operating plan. The required documentation includes copies of 
a log containing the date and type of magazine inspections (including 
inspections required every seven days) and the date all deficiencies 
identified in any magazine inspection report were corrected; copies of 
any magazine inspection reports; a copy of the holder's current ATF-
issued federal explosives license or federal explosives permit, if 
applicable; and a copy of a log containing the date of the most recent 
magazine lock and key replacement.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: 10 minutes.
    Type of Respondents: Holders of a special use authorization 
authorizing the storage and use of explosives.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 60.
    Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 10 hours.
    Comment Is Invited: Comment is invited on (1) whether this 
collection of information is necessary for the stated purposes and the 
proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether 
the information will have practical or scientific utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including the use of 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    All comments received in response to this notice, including names 
and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record.
