proclamation from the public domain. It 

gives individuals the right to search for 

and extract valuable mineral deposits of 

locatable minerals and secure title to the 

lands involved. Recording that claim in 

the local courthouse and with the 

appropriate BLM State Office affords 

protection to the mining claimant from 

subsequent locators. A mining claimant 

is entitled to reasonable access to claim 

for further prospecting, mining or 

necessary related activities, subject to 

the other laws and applicable 

regulations. The purpose of the 

regulations at 36 CFR part 228, subpart 

A, is to set some specific rules and 

procedures through which use of the 

surface of National Forest System lands 

in connection with mineral operations 

authorized by the United States mining 

laws shall be conducted so as to 

minimize adverse environmental 

impacts on surface resources. The Forest 

Service (FS) will collect information 

using form FS 2800–5, Plan of 

Operations for Mining Activities on 

National Forest System Lands. 

Need and Use of the Information: FS 

will collect information requirements 

for a Notice of Intent to include the 

name, address, and telephone number of 

the operator; the area involved; the 

nature of the proposed operations; the 

route of access to the area of operations 

and the method of transport. The 

information requirements for a Plan of 

Operations includes: the name and legal 

mailing address of the operators; a 

description of the type of operations 

proposed; a description of how it would 

be conducted; a description of the type 

and standard of existing/proposed 

roads/access route; a description of the 

means of transportation to be used; a 

description of the period during which 

the proposed activity will take place; 

and measures to meet the environmental 

protection requirements. The 

information requirements for a cessation 

of operation include: verification to 

maintain the structures, equipment and 

other facilities; expected reopening date; 

estimate of extended duration of 

operations; and maintenance of the site, 

structure, equipment and other facilities 

during nonoperating periods.

4532 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 18 / Wednesday, January 28, 2015 / Notices 

Allotment Act (16 U.S.C. 590h (g)) 

authorizes producers to assign FSA 

conservation program payments in 

accordance with regulations issued by 

the Secretary. The Assignment of 

Payments regulation at 7 CFR part 1404 

requires that any such assignment be 

signed by both the assignor and the 

assignee. The Agricultural Act of 1949, 

as amended, extends that authority to 

CCC programs, including rice, feed 

grains, cotton, and wheat. There are no 

FSA or CCC regulations governing joint 

payments, but this service is offered as 

a result of public requests for this type 

of payment option, and is authorized by 

the CCC–37 form. 

The burden hours have decreased due 

to a provision in the 2014 Farm Bill that 

has exempted some programs from 

being subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. In addition, some 

producers are expected to participate in 

the certain, new programs authorized by 

the 2014 Farm Bill: the Agricultural 

Risk Coverage, Price Loss Coverage, and 

Dairy Margin Protection Program 

(DMPP). The CCC–36 and CCC–37 are 

applicable to certain FSA and CCC 

programs that permit an assignment. 

The formula used to calculate the 

total burden hour is estimated average 

time per responses hours times total 

annual responses. 

Estimate of Respondent Burden: 

Public reporting burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

average 10 minutes per response for 

each form of CCC–36, CCC–37, and 

CCC–251, and 5 minutes per response 

for CCC–252. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, businesses or other for 

profit farms. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 51,403 for CCC–36; 14,307 

for CCC–37, 200 for CCC–251 and 200 

for CCC–252. 

Estimated Number of Reponses Per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

66,110. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Response: 0.166. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 11,002. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this information collection to 

help us to: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

FSA, including whether the information 

will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA’s 

estimate of burden including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate 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 for Office of Management 

and Budget approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

To enhance the safety of our food, 

three Federal agencies—CDC, FDA, and 

FSIS—teamed up in 2011 to create the 

IFSAC. The goal of this collaboration is 

to improve coordination of Federal food 

safety analytic efforts and address crosscutting priorities for food safety data 

collection, analysis and use. The current 

focus of IFSAC’s activities is foodborne 

illness source attribution, defined as the 

process of estimating the most common 

food sources responsible for specific 

foodborne illnesses. Projects and studies 

conducted by IFSAC aim to identify 

foods that are primary sources of 

illnesses. 

Federal agencies and food safety 

experts rely on attribution studies to 

influence strategic planning and riskmstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
