Food and Nutrition Service 

Title: Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program Application for 

Stores—Reauthorization. 

OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW. 

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 

determine the eligibility of retail food 

stores and certain food service 

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. 

Number of Respondents: 27,878. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 3,259.

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

vehicles authorized to use roads by the 

permit. 

While no information over and above 

that collected on the FS–7700–40 is 

collected on the FS–7700–41, the FS– 

7700–41 is also an OMB approved form. 

The approval number is OMB 0596– 

0016 and expires January 31, 2010.

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

(NASS) is to prepare and issue State and 

national estimates of crop and livestock 

production, prices, and disposition; as 

well as economic statistics, 

environmental statistics related to 

agriculture and also to conduct the 

Census of Agriculture. 

The Honey Survey collects 

information on the number of colonies, 

honey production, stocks, and prices. 

The survey provides data needed by the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture and 

other government agencies to administer 

programs and to set trade quotas and 

tariffs. State universities and agriculture 

departments also use data from this 

survey. 

Authority: These data will be collected 

under the authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204(a). 

Individually identifiable data collected under 

this authority are governed by Section 1770 

of the Food Security Act of 1985 as amended, 

7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to afford 

strict confidentiality to non-aggregated data 

provided by respondents. This Notice is 

submitted in accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–113) and 

Office of Management and Budget regulations 

at 5 CFR part 1320 (60 FR 44978, August 29, 

1995). 

NASS also complies with OMB 

Implementation Guidance, ‘‘Implementation 

Guidance for Title V of the E–Government 

Act, Confidential Information Protection and 

Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA),’’ 

Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 115, June 15, 

2007, p. 33376. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 15 minutes per 

response with a frequency of once a 

year. 

Respondents: Farmers.

9,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: With an estimated 

response rate of approximately 80%, we

and related instructions can be obtained 

without charge from David Hancock, 

NASS Clearance Officer, at (202) 690– 

2388.

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used;
