(1) To carry out activities under the 

Firewise Communities program. 

(2) To reimburse the participating 

county for emergency services 

performed on Federal land and paid for 

by the participating county. 

(3) To develop community wildfire 

protection plans in coordination with 

the appropriate Secretary. 

This information collection will 

identify the participating county and the 

year in which the expenditures were 

made, and will include the name, title, 

and signature of the certifying official, 

and the date of the certification. The 

certification will include a statement 

that all expenditures were for proposals 

that had a publication and comment 

period, and were submitted to any 

resource advisory committee for the 

county, as described in section 302(b) of 

the Act. 

This information will be collected in 

the form of conventional 

correspondence such as a letter, and at 

the respondent’s option, attached tables, 

or similar graphic display. At the 

respondent’s discretion, the information 

may be submitted by hard copy, and/or 

electronically scanned, and included as 

an attachment to electronic mail. 

The determination of the appropriate 

certifying official is at the discretion of 

the county or borough and will vary 

depending on county or borough 

organization. For unorganized boroughs 

in Alaska, the appropriate State official 

may provide the information. 

The Forest Service, U.S. Department 

of Agriculture, and the Bureau of Land 

Management, Department of the 

Interior, will collect this information 

from counties that participate in Title III 

of the State payment made by the Forest 

Service and the Bureau of Land 

Management as described in the Act. 

Under the Act, responses are required 

by February 1, following each year Title 

III funds are expended. The first 

response is required by February 1, 

2010, for funds expended in calendar 

year 2009. Because the authority to 

obligate county funds under Title III 

expires September 30, 2012, most of the 

expenditures are expected to be made 

by the following year, and the 

certifications concerning those 

expenditures would be required by 

February 1, 2014. The information will 

be reviewed by the respective Secretary, 

or designee, to verify that participating 

counties have certified that Title III 

funds were expended as authorized in 

the Act. 

Estimated Annual Burden per 

Respondent: The estimated time 

required for each response is 24 hours 

per year, including an estimated 20 

hours for collection and 4 hours for 

preparation and submission. 

Type of Respondents: Respondents 

are county officials. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 360. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 8,640 hours.

This table includes 13 counties in 

Oregon that will be required to make 

separate reports to the Department of 

Agriculture and to the Department of 

the Interior because those counties 

receive separate payments from each 

Department.

managers through an interactive Web 

site, and will be accessible to the public 

via the Internet for data queries and

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce (DOC) 

will submit to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: Bureau of Economic Analysis 

(BEA). 

Title: Survey of Ocean Freight 

Revenues and Foreign Expenses of 

United States Carriers (BE–30) and 

Survey of U.S. Airline Operators’ 

Foreign Revenues and Expenses (BE– 

37). 

OMB Control Number: 0608–0011. 

Form Number(s): BE–30 and BE–37. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 864 (BE–30: 560 hours; 

BE–37: 304 hours). 

Number of Respondents: 54 per 

quarter; 216 annually (BE–30: 35 per 

quarter; 140 annually; BE–37: 19 per 

quarter; 76 annually). 

Average Hours per Response: 4. 

Needs and Uses: The BEA is 

responsible for the compilation of the 

U.S. international transactions accounts 

(ITAs), which it publishes quarterly in 

news releases, on its Web site, and in its 

monthly journal, the Survey of Current 

Business. These accounts provide a 

statistical summary of all U.S. 

international transactions and, as such, 

are one of the major statistical products 

of BEA. In addition, they provide input 

into other U.S. economic measures and 

accounts, contributing particularly to 

the National Income and Product 

Accounts. The ITAs are used 

extensively by both government and 

private organizations for national and 

international economic policy 

formulation and for analytical purposes. 

The information collected in these 

surveys is used to develop the 

‘‘transportation’’ portion of the ITAs. 

Without this information, an integral 

component of the ITAs would be 

omitted. No other Government agency 

collects comprehensive quarterly data 

on U.S. ocean carriers’ freight revenues 

and foreign expenses or U.S. airline 

operators’ foreign revenues and 

expenses. 

These surveys request information 

from U.S. ocean and air carriers engaged 

in international transportation of goods 

and/or passengers. The information is 

collected on a quarterly basis from U.S. 

ocean and air carriers whose total 

annual covered revenues or total annual 

covered expenses are, or are expected to 

be, $500,000 or more. U.S. ocean and air 

carriers whose total annual covered 

revenues and total annual covered 

expenses are, or are expected to be, each 

below $500,000 are exempt from 

reporting. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Quarterly. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: The International 

Investment and Trade in Services 

Survey Act, 22 U.S.C. 3101–3108, as 

amended. 

OMB Desk Officer: Paul Bugg, (202) 

395–3093. 

Copies of the above information 

collection proposal can be obtained by 

writing Departmental Paperwork 

Clearance Officer, Diana Hynek, 

Department of Commerce, Room 7845, 

14th and Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230, or via e-mail at 

dHynek@doc.gov. 

Send comments on the proposed 

information collection within 30 days of 

publication of this notice to Paul Bugg,
