Title: 7 CFR part 215, Special Milk 

Program for Children. 

Form Number: FNS–10 and FNS–777. 

OMB Number: 0584–0005. 

Expiration Date: January 31, 2019. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Section 3 of the Child 

Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966, (42 U.S.C. 

1772) authorizes the Special Milk 

Program (SMP). It provides for the 

appropriation of such sums as may be 

necessary to enable the Secretary of 

Agriculture to encourage the 

consumption of fluid milk by children 

in the United States in: (1) Nonprofit 

schools of high school grade and under; 

and (2) nonprofit nursery schools, child 

care centers, settlement houses, summer 

camps, and similar nonprofit 

institutions devoted to the care and 

training of children, which do not 

participate in a food service program 

authorized under the CNA or the 

National School Lunch Act. 

Section 10 of the CNA (42 U.S.C. 

1779) requires the Secretary of 

Agriculture to prescribe such 

regulations as deemed necessary to 

carry out this Act and the National 

School Lunch Act. Pursuant to that 

provision, the Secretary has issued 7 

CFR part 215, which sets forth policies 

and procedures for the administration 

and operation of the SMP. State and 

local operators of the SMP are required 

to meet Federal reporting and 

accountability requirements. This 

information collection is required to 

administer and operate this program. 

The Program is administered at the 

State, school food authority (SFA), and 

child care institution levels; and 

operations include the submission of 

applications and agreements, 

submission and payment of claims, and 

maintenance of records. The reporting 

and record keeping burden associated 

with this revision has decreased from 

14,914 hours to 13,325 hours. These 

changes are due to decreases in the 

number of participating institutions. All 

of the reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements associated with the SMP 

are currently approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget and are in 

force. This is a revision of the currently 

approved information collection. 

Forms FNS–10 and FNS–777 collect 

information that are associated with this 

information collection; however, these 

forms are approved under another FNS 

information collection. Forms FNS–10 

and FNS–777 are used by the State 

agencies to report program data. These 

forms, and the reporting burden 

associated with them, are approved 

under OMB# 0584–0594 Food Programs 

Reporting System (FPRS) (expiration 

date 9/30/19). The recordkeeping 

burden associated with these forms is 

covered in this collection.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Willamette National Forest, McKenzie 

River Ranger District; Oregon; Flat 

Country Project 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The Flat Country Project is 

located on the western slope of the 

Cascades, extending from Scott 

Mountain to the upper reach of the 

McKenzie River, eight miles east of 

McKenzie Bridge, Oregon. The project 

area is approximately 74,063 acres. 

There is a high amount of mid-seral 

stands, moving the seral distribution 

away from historic levels and limiting 

stand structure and species diversity 

across the landscape. This project 

proposes to thin, reduce the number of 

trees, and increase the size and structure 

of the remaining forest over time. 

Activities proposed include forest 

management treatments across 

approximately 5,001 acres, including 

forest thinning (including riparian 

reserve thinning) and regenerating 

harvests. Additional proposed activities 

would include road work (including 

maintenance, reconstruction, temporary 

road construction, and 

decommissioning), and meadow 

enhancements. 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis must be received by 

September 19, 2018. The draft 

environmental impact statement is 

expected March 2019 and the final 

environmental impact statement is 

expected August 2019. 

ADDRESSES: Scoping comments can be 

submitted electronically through 

https://cara.ecosystemmanagement.org/Public//

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This project was originally an 

environmental assessment and was 

scoped from May 22 to June 23, 2018. 

Scoping comments were received on a 

range of concerns and topics. Primary 

concerns included: Providing a 

sustainable supply of timber products 

for local industry, reasons for and 

against road construction, preserving 

and impacting northern spotted owl 

habitat, no logging of mature forests, 

encouraging the creation of early seral 

habitat, and alerting the recreating 

public of operation schedules and haul 

routes to avoid conflict. After the review 

of the project and due to the complexity 

and size of this project, as well as public 

input, the decision was made to elevate 

the analysis to an environmental impact 

statement. 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The Flat Country Project is proposed 

to provide a sustainable supply of 

timber products, actively manage stands 

to improve stand conditions (density, 

diversity, and structure), increase 

vegetative habitat complexity and 

hardwood composition along streams, 

and sustainably manage the network of 

road systems in the project area. Within 

the project area trees are competing for 

sunlight, water and nutrients causing 

reduced tree growth and vigor. The 

productivity and site conditions of 

forests in the project area allow for the 

production of forest products while 

being sensitive to the ecology of the area 

and meeting other important natural 

values and services. 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action has multiple 

facets: 

(1) Commercially harvest about 5,001 

acres (3.7% of the Project Area) and 

regenerate roughly 962 acres (1.0% of 

the Project Area). We propose to use 

thinning across the majority of the 

project and these treatments would 

incorporate some untreated areas (skips) 

and create gaps of up to three acres with 

variable spacing of remaining trees. We
