SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Volunteer Service Agreements 

and Volunteer Service Time and 

Attendance Record. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–XXXX. 

Type of Request: Approval of a new 

information collection. 

Abstract: Section 1526 of the Food 

and Agricultural Act of 1981 (7 U.S.C. 

2272) permits the Secretary of 

Agriculture to establish a program to use 

volunteers to carry out U.S. Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) programs. 

Departmental Regulation No. 4230–1, 

Volunteer Programs, provides the 

guidelines USDA agencies must use for 

acceptance of volunteers and sets a 

requirement for agencies to publish 

their guidelines. Regulations of the 

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 

in 5 CFR part 308 provide agencies with 

the authority to establish programs 

designed to provide educationally 

related work assignments for students in 

nonpay status. 

The Marketing and Regulatory 

Programs (MRP) mission area of USDA 

uses several information collection 

activities to assist MRP program 

officials, administrative personnel, and 

USDA Human Resources offices in 

determining a volunteer’s eligibility and 

suitability for volunteer service. The 

information is necessary to facilitate 

establishment of guidelines for 

acceptance of volunteer services; make 

a determination of an individual’s 

eligibility and suitability to serve as a 

volunteer in MRP; and comply with 

OPM regulations requiring 

documentation of volunteer service and 

maintenance of records. The 

information collection activities include 

a Student Volunteer Service Agreement, 

Nonstudent Volunteer Service 

Agreement, and Volunteer Time and 

Attendance Record. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 0.22 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Individuals engaged in 

activities for which they are not paid, 

except for authorized expenses 

associated with performance of 

volunteer activities. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 85. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 2. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 170. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 38 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.

The revised Flathead forest plan will

effect. 

In response to this notice, we are 

asking for comments on the proposed 

action so we may refine the proposed 

action and identify possible alternatives 

to the proposed action. Comments 

concerning the scope of the proposed 

action must be received by May 15, 

2015. The draft EIS is expected in 

January 2016 and the final EIS is 

expected in June 2017.

preliminary desired conditions, 

objectives, standards, guidelines, and
