SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Telegraph Vegetation Project Record of 

Decision was signed by Helena-Lewis 

and Clark Forest Supervisor William 

Avey on January 9, 2017 and with it, the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

was released to the public. The District 

Court for the Federal District of 

Montana rejected a legal challenge to 

the Telegraph Vegetation Project and 

that ruling was appealed to the Ninth 

Circuit Court of Appeals where the case 

was affirmed in part and remanded 

without vacatur to allow the Forest 

Service to reconsider the scope of the 

project-area wildland-urban interface. 

Before the Court issued a decision, a 

discrepancy was identified between the 

wildland urban interface boundary used 

for project analysis and the 2005 Powell 

County Community Protection Plan 

wildland urban interface boundary. This 

discrepancy resulted in 50 acres being 

analyzed as within the wildland urban 

interface when they were in fact outside 

of the 2005 Powell County’s Community 

Protection Plan’s wildland urban 

interface boundary. In September of 

2019, the Helena-Lewis and Clark 

National Forest completed precommercial thinning on Telegraph units 

102 and 107 which contained 8.4 acres 

of early stand or stand initiation lynx 

habitat that were within the project 

wildland urban interface but outside the 

wildland urban interface under the 2005 

Powell County Community Protection 

Plan. 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The original purpose, to improve the 

resiliency, diversity, and reforestation 

within the Telegraph Vegetation Project, 

area remains the same. The Draft 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement will update, review, and 

correct the project analysis and evaluate 

making changes to the project, including 

dropping planned treatment acres that 

are outside the Powell County wildland 

urban interface and droppings treatment 

acres to protect lynx habitat within the 

lynx analysis unit. 

Proposed Action 

The original proposed action for the 

Telegraph project remains the same; the 

2017 Record of Decision is not vacated 

nor withdrawn. The draft supplemental 

environmental impact statement will 

update and review the effects of the 

wildland urban interface boundary 

differences as well as the treatment of 

8.4 acres of pre-commercial thinning 

within lynx habitat that did not fall 

under the Northern Rockies Lynx 

Management Direction exemption. In 

addition, the draft supplemental 

environmental impact statement will 

analyze removing units 129 and 164 

from treatment, which combined 

amounts to 30.9 acres. These units, 129 

and 164, are located within the same 

lynx analysis unit as the 8.4 acres of 

precommercial thinning. 

Impacts Under Review 

The intent of the draft supplemental 

environmental impact statement is to 

review, update, and evaluate dropping 

treatment units which were analyzed 

under the Final Environmental Impact 

Statement. Therefore, the effects of the 

proposed action are expected to be less 

than originally analyzed. 

Responsible Official 

Helena-Lewis and Clark Forest 

Supervisor. 

Scoping Process 

A notice of intent published on 

November 12, 2009 initiated the scoping 

process for the Telegraph Vegetation 

Project. The start of a 30-day scoping 

period began on November 13, 2009. 

The Project was re-scoped in July of 

2012 and a corrected Notice of Intent 

was published on July 20, 2012. In 

accordance with 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4), no 

scoping will be conducted for this 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement. 

The Draft Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement will be 

available for public comment as 

required by 40 CFR 1503.1. The Draft 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement will be announced for public 

review and comment in Federal 

Register, on the Forest’s website https:// 

www.fs.usda.gov/projects/helena/ 

landmanagement/projects, and in the 

Helena Independent Record. 

Authority 

This Notice of Intent is being 

published pursuant to regulation (40 

CFR 1508.22) implementing the 

procedural provision of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The January 2017 Record of Decision 

is not being vacated. The Draft 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement will supplement the 

Telegraph Vegetation Project Final 

Environmental Impact Statement. The 

Forest will solicit public comment on its 

suggested remedy and the associated 

effects of using units 129 and 164 to 

remediate the treatment of 8.4 acres 

within lynx habitat.

Notice of Intent To Request Revision 

and Extension of a Currently Approved 

Information Collection 

AGENCY: National Agricultural Statistics 

Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice announces the intention of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) to request revision and 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection, the Vegetable 

Surveys Program. Revision to burden 

hours will be needed due to changes in 

the size of the target population, 

sampling design, questionnaire length, 

and/or data collection plan. Some of the 

vegetable production surveys will 

incorporate sampling of the total 

population of producers, while the 

processing surveys will involve a total 

enumeration of the entire population. 

Changes are being made to some of the 

questionnaires to accommodate changes 

in the industry and to make the 

questionnaires easier for the respondent 

to complete. This should help to reduce 

respondent burden and improve the 

overall response rates. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received by May 31, 2022 to be assured 

of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number 0535–0037,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Vegetable Surveys Program. 

OMB Number: 0535–0037. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

September 30, 2022. 

Type of Request: Intent to Seek 

Approval to Revise and Extend an 

Information Collection for 3 years. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) is to collect, prepare, and issue 

State and national estimates of crop and 

livestock production, prices, and 

disposition; as well as economic 

statistics, environmental statistics 

related to agriculture and also to 

conduct the Census of Agriculture. The 

Vegetable Surveys Program obtains 

basic agricultural statistics for fresh 

market and processing vegetables in 

major producing States. Vegetable 

statistics are used by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture to help 

administer programs and by growers, 

processors, and marketers in making 

production and marketing decisions. 

The Federal vegetable estimation 

program now consists of 26 selected 

crops. 

Every 5 years NASS conducts a 

program review following the 

completion of the Census of Agriculture. 

The primary purpose is to ensure that 

the NASS annual estimating program 

targets commodities and states most 

relevant based on the latest available 

information. The next program review 

will occur after the 2022 Census of 

Agriculture. 

All questionnaires included in this 

information collection will be 

voluntary. 

Authority: These data will be 

collected under authority of 7 U.S.C. 

2204(a). Individually identifiable data 

collected under this authority are 

governed by Section 1770 of the Food 

Security Act of 1985 as amended, 7 

U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to 

afford strict confidentiality to nonaggregated data provided by 

respondents. This Notice is submitted in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–113) 

and Office of Management and Budget 

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320. 

All NASS employees and NASS 

contractors must also fully comply with 

all provisions of the Confidential 

Information Protection and Statistical 

Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) of 2018, Title 

III of Public Law 115–435, codified in 

44 U.S.C. ch. 35. CIPSEA supports 

NASS’s pledge of confidentiality to all 

respondents and facilitates the agency’s 

efforts to reduce burden by supporting 

statistical activities of collaborative 

agencies through designation of NASS 

agents, subject to the limitations and 

penalties described in CIPSEA. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to be between 5 and 20 

minutes per respondent per survey. 

Respondents: Farms and businesses. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

11,200. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 8,600 hours. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, technological or 

other forms of information technology 

collection methods.

become a matter of public record and be 

summarized in the request for OMB 

approval. 

Signed at Washington, DC, March 29, 2022.
