SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Incident Support 

Stakeholder Assessment. 

OMB Number: 0596–New. 

Type of Request: New. 

Abstract: Contracts for incident 

support related to wildfire and disaster 

response are awarded at the national 

level by the Forest Service’s Incident 

Support Branch. In an effort to ensure 

procurement methods used are the most 

effective, the Forest Service will 

perform an extensive assessment of its 

current practices and procedures. 

During this review, the agency will 

analyze information collected from both 

internal and external stakeholders to 

clearly define best practices. 

Stakeholders include Forest Service 

employees, other Federal agencies, 

industry representatives, associations, 

professional organizations, and 

prospective contractors. 

To comply with the Paper Reduction 

Act (PRA), the Forest Service requires 

OMB approval to collect information 

from the public. The agency is 

requesting approval to collect external 

stakeholder information in the form of 

formal and informal interviews and an 

online, electronic survey. Both 

collections will relate specifically to 

acquisitions and contracts for incident 

support, such as wildfire and natural 

disaster procurements, with the goal of 

determining the acquisition method 

which is in the best interest of the 

Federal government, imposes a 

reasonable risk on the contractor, yet 

also motivates effective contractor 

performance. 

The survey and interviews will be 

performed and analyzed by the Forest 

Service Acquisition Management Fire 

Equipment, Services, and Supplies 

Acquisition Analysis (FESSAA) Team. 

The information will be used as a 

component of the overall analysis to 

help verify if changes are necessary to 

the agency practices and procedures. 

Results from the information collection 

may be shared with other Forest Service 

divisions, with agencies outside the 

Forest Service, and with the public. 

The authorization to survey 

stakeholders comes from Executive 

Order 12862, issued September 11, 

1993, which directs Federal agencies to 

change the way they do business, to 

reform their management practices, and 

to provide service to the public that 

matches or exceeds the best service 

available in the private sector. This 

collection and its review will provide 

the Forest Service with the necessary 

information to meet the terms of the 

Executive Order. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 20 

minutes. 

Type of Respondents: Internal and 

external stakeholders including 

customers, other agency personnel, 

industry representatives, contractor 

associations, and individual contractors. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 600. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 200 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. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

submission request toward Office of
