17264 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 59 / Monday, March 28, 2022 / Notices 

of Title III funds received to determine 

the amount of Title III funds that must 

be returned to the United States 

Treasury under section 304(b) of the 

Act. The Department of the Interior and 

the Bureau of Land Management are 

also authorized to participate in this 

information collection because the 

Bureau of Land Management 

administers Federal lands in western 

Oregon covered by the Act. The 

information will be reviewed by the 

appropriate Secretary, or designee, to 

verify that participating counties have 

certified that funds were expended as 

authorized in the Act and to identify 

amounts not obligated. The information 

also may be used by the Department of 

the Interior because it is relevant to its 

Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) 

program. 

The information will be collected in 

the form of conventional 

correspondence such as a letter and, at 

the respondent’s option, attached tables 

or similar graphic display. The Forest 

Service provides an optional form for 

the convenience of respondents. At the 

respondent’s discretion, the information 

may be submitted by hard copy and/or 

electronically scanned and included as 

an attachment to electronic mail. This 

becomes record keeping for audit 

purposes. 

The Secure Rural Schools and 

Community Self-Determination Act of 

2000 (the Act) (16 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.), 

as reauthorized in Public Law 117–58, 

requests Resource Advisor Committees 

(RAC’s) who receive funds under Title 

II of the Act to submit proposal to the 

appropriate RAC Forest Service 

Designated Federal Officer (DFOs) that 

the funds are being requested for that 

specific project. Counties typically 

receive 20% or less of Secure Rural 

Schools funds under Title II, which are 

used by willing Federal agencies, State 

and local governments, private and 

nonprofit entities, and landowners for 

protection, restoration and enhancement 

of fish and wildlife habitat, and other 

natural resource objectives on Federal 

land and on non-Federal land where 

projects would benefit these resources 

on Federal land. 

Rather than being distributed to the 

State, Title II funds are retained by the 

Forest Service and are allocated to 

specific projects that have been 

reviewed and recommended by a local 

Resource Advisory Committee. 

Projects are considered for Title II 

funding if they make additional 

investments in, and create employment 

opportunities through: 

Improvement of existing 

infrastructure maintenance. 

Implementation of stewardship 

objectives that enhance forest 

ecosystems; 

Restoration and improvement of land 

health and water quality. 

Projects must comply with all 

applicable Federal laws and regulations. 

Projects must be consistent with the 

applicable resource management plan 

and with any watershed or subsequent 

plan developed pursuant to the resource 

management plan. The funds may be 

used for projects that have broad-based 

support and with objectives that 

include: Road, trail, and infrastructure 

maintenance or obliteration; soil 

productivity improvement; forest 

ecosystem health improvements; 

watershed restoration and maintenance; 

wildlife and fish habitat restoration, 

maintenance, and improvement; 

noxious and exotic weeds control; and 

native species re-establishment. 

At least 50% of all project funds are 

to be used for projects that are primarily 

dedicated to road maintenance, 

decommissioning, or obliteration; or to 

restoration of streams and watersheds. 

Affected Public: Eligible counties and 

Federal agencies, state and local 

government, private entities. 

Estimate of Annual Burden per 

Respondent: 1. 

Type of Respondents: Respondents 

are county officials. The determination 

of who is the appropriate certifying 

official is at the discretion of the county 

and borough and will vary depending 

on county or borough organization. For 

unorganized boroughs in Alaska and for 

participating counties in Vermont, a 

state official may provide the 

information. Respondents of 91 RACs 

are expected to respond each year. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 344 county officials and 

91 RACs. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 1 hour. 

Comment is Invited: Comment is 

invited on: (1) Whether this collection 

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 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

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 request toward Office of 

Management and Budget approval.

(USDA). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee site. 

SUMMARY: The National Forests and 

Grasslands in Texas is proposing to 

charge a new fee at one recreation site 

listed in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION of 

this notice. Funds from fees would be 

used for operation, maintenance, and 

improvements of the recreation site. 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: National Forests and 

Grasslands in Texas, 2221 North Raguet

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 Forests 

can continue maintaining and 

improving recreation sites like this for 

future generations. 

As part of this proposal, a $5 day-use 

fee per vehicle with a $40 annual pass 

option at Boykin Springs Recreation 

Area would be added to improve

ACTION: Notice of proposed new fee 

sites. 

SUMMARY: The Tonto 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. Many sites have 

recently been reconstructed or amenities 

are being added to improve services and 

experiences. 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: Tonto National Forest, 

Attention: Recreation Fees, 1009 E Hwy.

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

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. 

As part of this proposal, East Verde 

and Flowing Springs picnic sites are 

proposed at $12 day-use fee per vehicle. 

The full suite of Interagency passes 

would be honored. Additionally, the 

Tonto National Forest proposes to 

charge fees at five Off-Highway Vehicle 

(OHV) zones. These zones are currently 

in use by the public and are in high 

demand due to their easy access from 

the Phoenix metro area and the growing 

popularity of OHV use. The five OHV 

zones include Bulldog Canyon, The 

Rolls, Lower Sycamore, St. Clair, and 

Desert Vista. OHV permits will be sold 

through Recreation.gov and 

administered by the Tonto National 

Forest. Permits are required for all OHV 

operators (not passengers) and are 

proposed at $100 per year, $50 per 

month, and $10 per day. 

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. 

Permits will be available through 

www.recreation.gov or by calling 1–877– 

444–6777. The reservation service 

charges a $6.00 fee for permits.
