Forest Service 

Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites 

AGENCY: Forest Service, Agriculture 

(USDA). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee 

sites. 

SUMMARY: The Gila National Forest is 

proposing to charge new fees at multiple 

recreation sites listed in SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION of this notice. Funds from 

fees would be used for operation, 

maintenance, and improvements of 

these recreation sites. An analysis of 

nearby developed recreation sites with 

similar amenities shows the proposed 

fees are reasonable and typical of 

similar sites in the area. 

DATES: If approved, the new fee would 

be implemented no earlier than six 

months following the publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Gila National Forest, 3005 E 

Camino del Bosque, Silver City, New 

Mexico 88061. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matt 

Schultz, Recreation, Heritage, 

Engineering, Lands and Minerals Staff, 

575–388–8280, or matthew.schultz@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement 

Act (Title VII, Pub. L. 108–447) directed 

the Secretary of Agriculture to publish 

a six-month advance notice in the 

Federal Register whenever new 

recreation fee areas are established. The 

fees are only proposed at this time and 

will be determined upon further 

analysis and public comment. 

Reasonable fees, paid by users of these 

sites, will help ensure that the Forest 

can continue maintaining and 

improving recreation sites like this for 

future generations.

Cosmic, Forks, Sapillo, Aeroplane Mesa, 

Apache Creek, Ben Lilly, Willow Creek, 

Gwynn Tank, South Fork, Cherry Creek, 

Iron Creek, McMillan, Railroad Canyon, 

and Upper Gallinas Campgrounds are 

proposed at $10 per night. A $15 fee is 

proposed at Mesa Campground dump 

station. The Cosmic Group Campground 

is proposed for $100 per night. In 

addition, this proposal would 

implement new fees at four recreation 

rentals: Monument Park Cabin proposed 

at $50 per night, Negrito Fire Lookout 

proposed at $50 per night, Willow Creek 

Cabin proposed at $125 per night, and 

Kingston Work Center proposed at $150

for $40. The full suite of Interagency 

passes would be honored. 

New fees would provide increased 

visitor opportunities as well as 

increased staffing to address operations 

and maintenance needs and enhance 

customer service. Once public 

involvement is complete, these new fees 

will be reviewed by a Recreation 

Resource Advisory Committee prior to a 

final decision and implementation. 

Advanced reservations for 

campgrounds and cabins will be 

available through www.recreation.gov or 

by calling 1–877–444–6777. The 

reservation service charges an $8.00 fee

Census Bureau 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget for Review 

and Approval; Comment Request; 

Business Trends and Outlook Survey 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on November 9, 

2021 during a 60-day comment period. 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comments. 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Business Trends and Outlook 

Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–XXXX. 

Form Number(s) The electronic 

survey instrument has no form number. 

Type of Request: Regular submission, 

New Information Collection Request. 

Number of Respondents: We expect 

45,000 responses every two weeks for a 

total of 1,170,000 responses annually. 

Average Hours per Response: 8 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 156,000. 

Needs and Uses: The mission of the 

U.S. Census Bureau (Census Bureau) is 

to serve as the leading source of quality 

data about the nation’s people and 

economy; in order to fulfill this mission, 

it is necessary to innovate to produce 

more detailed, more frequent, and more 

timely data products. The Coronavirus 

pandemic was an impetus for the 

creation of new data products by the 

Census Bureau to measure the 

pandemic’s impact on the economy: The 

Small Business Pulse Survey (SBPS) 

(OMB Number: 0607–1014) and the 

weekly Business Formation Statistics. 

Policymakers and other federal agency 

officials, media outlets, and academia 

commended the Census Bureau’s rapid 

response to their data needs during the 

largest economic crisis in recent 

American history. The Census Bureau 

proposes to capitalize on the successes 

that underlie the current high frequency 

data collection and near real time data 

dissemination that have been 

engineered for the SBPS. The proposed 

Business Trends and Outlook Survey 

(BTOS) will be an ongoing collection 

that will allow for high frequency, 

timely, and granular information about 

current economic conditions and trends 

as well as the impact of national, 

subnational, or sector-level shocks on 

business activity. The proposed BTOS 

will also allow the Census Bureau a 

mechanism for providing more detailed 

data during times of economic or other 

emergencies. Thus, the Census Bureau 

is requesting three years of approval 

from OMB to conduct the BTOS. 

The BTOS will increase the scope of 

the Small Business Pulse Survey to 

include large employer businesses 

(those with 500 or more employees), 

multi-unit businesses (those with 

establishments in more than one 

location), and nonemployer businesses 

(those with no paid employees); it will 

also include the U.S. Island Areas in 

addition to Puerto Rico. As with the 

SBPS, the BTOS will include most nonfarm sectors of the U.S. economy. The 

BTOS will incrementally build on the 

success of the SBPS and will be 

implemented using components of the 

current SBPS platform. The first stage of 

the BTOS will be an expansion of the 

SBPS to include the addition of large 

single unit employer businesses, to be 

followed by the addition of multi-unit 

businesses, and then nonemployer 

businesses. The BTOS will ultimately 

produce high frequency statistics across 

most non-farm sectors of the U.S. 

economy, with estimates by sector, 

state, state by sector, sub-sector, the 

largest fifty Metropolitan Statistical 

Areas (MSA) by population size, 

employment size, and employer status. 

As with other Census Bureau data 

products, detailed methodology and 

measures of quality will be published 

for BTOS data products. BTOS products 

will be based on representative samples 

drawn from the full universe of 

businesses, making them unique and the 

results reliable when compared to other 

high frequency business survey data 

such as those produced in the private 

sector. 

The Census Bureau proposes an 

incremental path to the proposed final 

scope of the BTOS in order to learn at 

each implemented stage and to allow for 

modifications based on lessons learned 

or internal/external stakeholder 

feedback in prior iterations. The Census 

Bureau will submit a request to OMB 

including 30 days of public comment 

announced in the Federal Register to 

receive approval to make any 

substantive revisions to the content or 

methods of the proposed survey, 

including the incremental scope 

changes discussed above. 

The Census Bureau published a notice 

in the Federal Register on November 9, 

2021 soliciting public comments on our 

plans to conduct the BTOS. That notice 

referred to the survey as the Business 

Pulse Survey. The name of the survey 

has since been changed to Business 

Trends and Outlook Survey with the 

acronym BTOS. That earlier notice also 

included an estimate of 6 minutes to 

complete the survey. We have since 

revised that estimate to 8 minutes. 

The BTOS will be a new survey with 

bi-weekly data collection and 

publication; estimates produced from 

the BTOS will initially be released as 

experimental data products. The SBPS 

demonstrated the ability of the Census 

Bureau to collect and publish high 

frequency, timely data during a national 

economic emergency. The BTOS will 

capitalize on this success and provide 

regularly occurring high frequency data 

products and measures of quality based 

on national and subnational
