109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised 

at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR Part 

1320, require Federal agencies to 

provide 60 days’ notice to the public for 

comment on information collection 

activities before seeking approval of 

such activities by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). 

Specifically, the Board invites interested 

respondents to comment on the

Below is a brief summary of the 

proposed information collection: 

Title of Collection: 

FederalReporting.gov Recipient 

Registration System. 

OMB Control No.: 0430–0002. 

Description: Section 1512 of the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009, Public Law 111–5, 123 Stat. 

115 (Recovery Act), requires recipients 

of Recovery Act funds to report on the 

use of those funds. These reports are to 

be submitted to FederalReporting.gov, 

and certain information from these 

reports will later be posted to the 

publically available Web site 

Recovery.gov. 

The FederalReporting.gov Recipient 

Registration System (FRRS) was 

developed to protect the Board and 

FederalReporting.gov users from 

individuals seeking to gain 

unauthorized access to user accounts on 

FederalReporting.gov. FRRS is used for 

the purpose of verifying the identity of 

the user; allowing users to establish an 

account on FederalReporting.gov; 

providing users access to their 

FederalReporting.gov account for 

reporting data; allowing users to 

customize, update, or terminate their 

accounts with FederalReporting.gov; 

renewing or revoking a user’s account 

on FederalReporting.gov, thereby 

protecting FederalReporting.gov and 

FederalReporting.gov users from 

potential harm caused by individuals 

with malicious intentions gaining 

unauthorized access to the system. 

To assist in this goal, FRRS will 

collect a registrant’s name, email 

address, telephone number and 

extension, three security questions and 

answers, and, by way of a DUNS 

number, organization information. The 

person registering for 

FederalReporting.gov will generate a 

self-assigned password that will be 

stored on the FRRS, but will only be 

accessible to the registering individual. 

Affected Public: Private sector and 

state, local, and tribal governments. 

Total Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 150,961. 

Frequency of Responses: Once. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 12,558.

Summary of Collection: The Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture is the Federal 

agency responsible for the 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP) formerly known as the 

Food Stamp Program. The Food and 

Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2011– 

2036), as codified under 7 CFR Parts 278 

and 279, requires that the FNS

organizations to accept and redeem 

SNAP benefits, to monitor them for 

compliance and continued eligibility, 

and to sanction stores for noncompliance with the Act. 

Need and Use of the Information: FNS 

will collect information using form 

FNS–252–R, ‘‘Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program Reauthorization 

Application for Stores’’. Information is 

collected primarily for use by FNS in 

the administration of the SNAP. FNS 

field offices review a firm’s application 

in order to determine whether or not 

applicants meet eligibility requirements 

and make determinations whether to 

grant or deny authorization to accept 

SNAP benefits. FNS is also responsible 

for requiring updates to application 

information and reviewing that 

information to determine whether or not 

the firms or services continue to meet 

eligibility requirements. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Application for Permit, NonFederal Commercial Use of Roads 

Restricted by Order 

OMB Number: 0596–0016. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Three 

years after OMB approves the 

information collection. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection 

Abstract: Authority for road use 

permits is derived from the National 

Forest Roads and Trails Act (Pub. L. 88– 

657, 16 U.S.C. 532–538, as amended). 

The law authorizes the Secretary of 

Agriculture to establish procedures for 

sharing investments in roads and to 

require commercial users to perform 

road maintenance commensurate with 

their use of roads. Detailed 

implementing regulations are contained 

in Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, 

sections 212.5, 212.9, and 261.54. Title 

36, CFR 212.5 and 212.9 authorizes the 

Chief of the Forest Service to establish 

procedures for investment sharing and 

to require commercial users to perform 

road maintenance commensurate with 

use. Title 36, CFR 261.54 contains a 

national prohibition against using a 

National Forest System road for 

commercial hauling without a permit or 

written authorization when so provided 

by order. Forest Service policies 

implementing the regulations are found 

in Forest Service Manual chapter 7730 

and Forest Service Handbook 7709.59, 

chapter 24. The policies require forest 

supervisors to enter into appropriate 

investment sharing arrangements, to 

require commercial users of National 

Forest System roads to perform road 

maintenance commensurate with their 

use, and to issue orders that implement 

the national prohibition at 36 CFR 

261.54. These policies assure that those 

commercial haulers not already 

operating under investment and 

maintenance sharing provisions 

contained in Forest Service permits and 

contracts will obtain road use permits. 

The road use permits they obtain 

contain requirements for maintenance 

and investment sharing. 

FS–7700–40—Application for Permit 

for Non-Federal Commercial Use of 

Roads Restricted by Order. This form is 

used by individuals, corporations, or 

organizations that apply for a permit to 

use National Forest System roads for 

non-Federal commercial use. The 

following information is collected: (1) 

Name, address, and telephone number; 

(2) identification by Forest Service route 

number of roads to be used; (3) purpose 

of use; (4) use schedule; and (5) plans 

for future use. The requester submits the 

information to the forest supervisor or 

district ranger responsible for the 

National Forest System roads on which 

commercial vehicular use is requested. 

Engineering personnel on the staff of the 

responsible National Forest System unit 

evaluate the information. The 

information is used by the local offices 

to identify road maintenance required as 

a direct result of the applicant’s 

vehicular traffic and to calculate the 

applicant’s commensurate share of road 

maintenance. The information is also 

used to calculate collections for 

recovery of past Federal investments in 

roads when that method of sharing 

investment is appropriate. The 

information is only used by the Forest 

Service’s local offices. It is not reported 

to or summarized at higher levels of the 

organization. 

The identifying information collected 

on FS–7700–40 is used on FS–7700– 

41—Road Use Permit to identify the 

permittee and the routes authorized for 

use. Road maintenance requirements, 

road use schedules, and any necessary 

fees developed from the data submitted 

on FS–7700–40 are also included in 

provisions of the 7700–41. A copy of the 

7700–41 must be carried in commercial
