performance requirements for aircraft as 

aviation operations are conducted under 

extremely adverse conditions of 

weather, terrain, turbulence, smoke 

reduced visibility, minimally improved 

landing areas, and congested airspace 

around wildfires. To ensure agency 

contracting officers that pilots and 

aircraft used for aviation operations 

meet specific Forest Service 

qualifications and requirements for 

aviation operations, prospective 

contract pilots fill out one of the 

following Forest Service forms: 

• FS–5700–20—Airplane Pilot 

Qualifications and Approval Record 

• FS–5700–20a—Helicopter Pilot 

Qualifications and Approval Record 

Contract Officers’ Technical 

Representatives use forms: 

• FS–5700–21—Airplane Data Record 

• FS–5700–21a—Helicopter Data 

Record 

When inspecting the aircraft for 

contract compliance. Based upon the 

approval(s) documented on the form(s), 

each contractor pilot and aircraft 

receives an approval card. The Forest 

Service personnel verify possession of 

properly approved cards before using 

contracted pilots and aircraft. 

Information collected on these forms 

includes: 

• Name. 

• Address. 

• Certification numbers. 

• Employment history. 

• Medical Certification. 

• Airplane/helicopter certifications 

and specifications. 

• Accident/violation history. 

Without the collected information, 

Forest Service Contracting Officers, as 

well as Forest Service pilot and aircraft 

inspections, cannot determine if 

contracted pilots and aircraft meet the 

detailed qualification, equipment, and 

condition requirements essential to safe 

and effective accomplishment of Forest 

Service specified flying missions. 

Without a reasonable basis to determine 

pilot qualifications and aircraft 

capability, Forest Service employees 

would be exposed to hazardous 

conditions. The data collected 

documents the approval of contract 

pilots and aircraft for specific Forest 

Service aviation missions. Information 

will be collected and reviewed by 

Contracting Officers or their designated 

representatives, including aircraft 

inspectors, to determine whether the 

aircraft and/or pilot(s) meet all contract 

specifications in accordance with Forest 

Service Handbook (FSH) 5709.16, 

chapter 10, sections 15 and 16. Forest 

Service pilot and aircraft inspectors 

maintain the collected information in 

Forest Service regional offices. The 

Forest Service, at times, shares the 

information with the Department of the 

Interior, Aviation Management 

Directorate, as each organization accepts 

contract inspections conducted by the 

other. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 60

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

Type of Request: Extension with 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: This information collection 

is being revised to accommodate 

requests by federally recognized Indian 

tribes for use of trees, portions of trees, 

or forest products, free of charge, from 

National Forest System lands for 

noncommercial traditional and cultural 

purposes under the Food, Conservation, 

and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110– 

246, 122 Stat. 1651) section 8105 Forest 

Products for Traditional and Cultural 

Purposes [hereinafter referred to as 

‘‘section 8105’’], and per the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.) and implementing regulations at 

5 CFR part 1320. Additionally, section 

8105 has been codified in 25 U.S.C. 

Chapter 32A Cultural and Heritage

9692 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Notices 

Cooperation Authority; section 3055 

Forest Products for Traditional and 

Cultural Purposes. Pending rulemaking 

regarding section 8105, the Forest 

Service issued policy via an Interim 

Directive (ID) providing short-term 

direction for federally recognized Indian 

tribe requests for trees, portions of trees, 

or forest products for noncommercial 

traditional and cultural purposes. The 

ID has since been reissued as Forest 

Service ID 2409.18–2013–2. 

Under 16 U.S.C. 551, individuals and 

businesses wishing to remove forest 

products from National Forest System 

lands must request a permit. Federally 

recognized Indian tribes seeking 

products under section 8105 authority 

must make a request for free use. To 

obtain a permit, applicants must meet 

the criteria at 36 CFR 223.1, 223.2, and 

223.5–223.13, which authorizes free use 

or sale of timber or forest products. As 

noted above, section 8105 authority sets 

forth conditions under which federally 

recognized Indian tribes may obtain, 

free of charge, trees, portions of trees, or 

forest products for noncommercial 

traditional and cultural purposes. 

Should federally recognized Indian 

tribes seeking such use wish to obtain 

proof of possession, as may be required 

in some States, they could be issued a 

FS–2400–8 permit. Upon receiving a 

permit, the permittee must comply with 

the terms of the permit (36 CFR 261.6), 

which designates forest products that 

can be harvested and under what 

conditions, such as limiting harvest to a 

designated area or permitting harvest of 

only specifically designated material. 

The collected information will help the 

Forest Service and the Bureau of Land 

Management (for form FS–2400–1) 

oversee the approval and use of forest 

products by the public. 

When applying for forest product 

removal permits, applicants (depending 

on the products requested) would 

provide information needed to complete 

one of the following: 

• FS–2400–1, Forest Products 

Removal Permit and Cash Receipt, is 

used to sell timber or forest products 

such as, but not limited to, fuelwood, 

Christmas trees, or pine cones (36 CFR 

223.1, 223.2). The Bureau of Land 

Management identifies the FS–2400–1 

as BLM–5450–24 (43 U.S.C. 1201, 43 

CFR 5420). This form would not be used 

to issue products requested by federally 

recognized Indian tribes under section 

8105 authority. 

• FS–2400–4/FS–2400–4ANF, Forest 

Products Contract and Cash Receipt, are 

used to sell timber products such as 

sawtimber or forest products such as, 

but not limited to, fuelwood. These 

forms would not be used to issue 

products requested by federally 

recognized Indian tribes under section 

8105 authority. 

• FS–2400–8, Forest Products Free 

Use Permit, allows use of timber or 

forest products at no charge to the 

permittee (36 CFR 223.5–223.13). 

This form could be used to issue 

products requested by federally 

recognized Indian tribes under section 

8105 authority. 

Each form listed above implements 

different regulations and has different 

provisions for compliance, but collects 

similar information from the applicant 

for related purposes. 

The Forest Service and the Bureau of 

Land Management will use the 

information collected on form FS–2400– 

1 to ensure identification of permittees 

in the field by agency personnel. The 

Forest Service will use the information 

collected on forms FS–2400–4/FS– 

2400–4ANF and/or FS–2400–8 to: 

• Ensure that permittees obtaining 

free use of timber or forest products 

qualify for the free-use program. 

• Ensure that permittees obtaining 

free use of timber or forest products, 

under 36 CFR 223.8, do not receive 

product value in excess of that allowed 

by regulations. Note, however, that 

under section 8105 authority, there is no 

stated maximum free use limitation. 

• Ensure that applicants purchasing 

timber harvest or forest products 

permits non-competitively do not 

exceed the authorized limit in a fiscal 

year (16 U.S.C. 472(a)). 

• Ensure identification of permittees, 

in the field, by Forest Service personnel. 

Applicants may apply for more than 

one forest products permit or contract 

per year. For example, an applicant may 

obtain a free use permit for a timber 

product such as, but not limited to, pine 

cones (FS–2400–8) and still purchase 

fuelwood (FS–2400–1, and/or FS–2400– 

4/2400–4ANF). Additionally, there is no 

limitation to the number of requests that 

each federally recognized Indian tribe 

may make under section 8105 authority. 

Individuals and small business 

representatives usually request and 

apply for permits and contracts in 

person at the office issuing the permit. 

How requests are made by federally 

recognized Indian tribes is not specified 

under section 8105 authority or in the 

interim direction found in Forest 

Service ID 2409.18–2013–2. However, 

pending rulemaking proposes the 

requests be made in writing. 

Applicants provide the following 

information, as applicable: 

• Name, 

• Address, and 

• Personal identification number 

such as tax identification number, social 

security number, driver’s license 

number, or other unique number 

identifying the applicant. 

Agency personnel enter the 

information into a computerized 

database to use for subsequent requests 

by applicants for a forest product permit 

or contract. The information is printed 

on paper, which the applicant signs and 

dates. Agency personnel discuss the 

terms and conditions of the permit or 

contract with the applicant. 

The data gathered is not available 

from other sources. The collected data is 

used to ensure: 

• Applicants for free use permits 

meet the criteria for free use of timber 

or forest products authorized by 

regulations at 36 CFR 223.5–223.13, 

and/or section 8105 of the 2008 Farm 

Bill; 

• Applicants seeking to purchase and 

remove timber or forest products from 

Agency lands meet the criteria under 

which sale of timber or forest products 

is authorized by regulations at 36 CFR 

223.80; and 

• Permittees comply with regulations 

and terms of the permit at 36 CFR 261.6. 

The collection of this information is 

necessary to ensure that applicants meet 

the requirements of the forest products 

program; those obtaining free-use 

permits for forest products qualify for 

the program; applicants purchasing noncompetitive permits to harvest forest 

products do not exceed authorized 

limits; and that Federal Agency 

employees can identify permittees when 

in the field. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 5 

minutes. 

Type of Respondents: Individuals, 

small businesses, and, for requests made 

under section 8105 of the Food, 

Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 

(Public Law 110–246, 122 Stat. 1651), 

federally recognized Indian tribes. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 212,634. 

Estimated Annual Number of
