Subcommittee; hereafter referred to as 

the Pollinator Subcommittee of the 

National Agricultural Research, 

Extension Education, and Economics 

(NAREEE) Advisory Board, which is 

implemented by the Research, 

Education, and Economics (REE) 

Mission Area. Most recently, the 

NAREEE Board was amended and 

extended through September 30, 2023 

by the Agricultural Improvement Act of 

2018. This amended charter is 

consistent with 7 U.S.C. 3123, as 

amended, and is in accordance with the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 

U.S.C. App. 2. Further, USDA is charged 

by the 2018 Farm Bill, Title 10, Section 

1672, Subsection 4, to identify annual 

strategic pollinator priorities and goals 

for the Department in the context of 

specific research mandates. USDA 

recommends the Pollinator 

Subcommittee be initiated in 2022 as 

the newest subcommittee of the 

NAREEE Advisory Board. The 

subcommittee is advisory in nature, and 

members will be asked to make 

pollinator health-related 

recommendations, reviews, and 

consultation to the NAREEE Advisory 

Board and subsequently to REE, other 

USDA mission areas, and federal 

pollinator coordinators. The NAREEE 

Advisory Board Office is requesting that 

individuals who are interested in and 

qualified to serve on the Pollinator 

Subcommittee apply for appointment. 

Please visit https://

additional information on vacant 

positions. 

Candidates selected to the Pollinator 

Subcommittee may serve 1–3 years with

(based on Secretarial action). The 

NAREEE Advisory Board requires a 

formal application, and each electronic

link)—the NAREEE Advisory Board 

Office will not consider applications 

submitted with incomplete AD–755

accomplishments that qualify you to 

serve on the Pollinator Subcommittee, 

in the form of five to seven (5–7) bullets

Your application package must 

comprise 25 pages or fewer to be 

considered by the NAREEE Advisory 

Board Office. Information contained in 

your application package should clearly 

indicate your qualifications to serve on 

the Pollinator Subcommittee. The 

NAREEE Advisory Board Office will 

review the information contained in the 

application packages to send to the 

Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary 

of Agriculture will make selections 

based on candidates who will: (1) Work 

collaboratively in representing diverse 

USDA pollinator stakeholders and areas 

of study; (2) provide sound and 

informed scientific input on pollinator 

research priorities; and (3) produce and 

utilize accurate, scientifically informed 

input on the best available science 

pertaining to various aspects of 

pollinator health. 

The Pollinator Subcommittee will 

formally meet (i.e., public meeting) once 

per year by video conference and/or in 

person. The NAREEE Advisory Board 

does not pay Pollinator Subcommittee 

members for their time but may 

reimburse travel expenses such as 

airfare (USDA must book your flight), 

per diem to include hotel stays, and 

other transportation costs within federal 

travel guidelines when approved by the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Cooperative Wildland Fire 

Management and Stafford Act Response 

Agreements. 

OMB Number: 0596–0242. 

Expiration Date of Approval: June 30, 

2022. 

Type of Request: Renewal without 

revision to an existing information 

collection. 

Abstract: To allow the performance of 

specific activities in cooperation with 

Federal, State, local, and Tribal 

governments, Congress enacted 

authorities allowing the United States 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) and 

United States Department of the Interior 

(DOI) to enter into cooperative 

agreements with fire organizations to 

improve efficiency. 

These include: 

1. Facilitating the coordination and 

exchange of personnel, equipment, 

supplies, services, and funds among the 

parties. 

2. Sustaining Wildland Fire 

Management activities, such as 

prevention, preparedness, 

communication and education, fuels 

treatment and hazard mitigation, fire 

planning. 

3. Response strategies, tactics and 

alternatives, suppression and post-fire 

rehabilitation and restoration. 

4. Allow for the parties to respond to 

presidentially declared emergencies or 

disasters. 

The primary authorities allowing for 

the agreements are the Reciprocal Fire 

Protection Act, 42 U.S.C 1856, and the 

Stafford Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121. The 

proposed Cooperative Wildland Fire 

Management and Stafford Act Response 

Agreement template will allow 

authorized agencies to streamline 

coordination with other Federal, State, 

local, and Tribal governments in 

wildland fire protection activities, and 

to document in an agreement the roles 

and responsibilities among the parties, 

ensuring maximum protection of 

resources. 

To negotiate, develop, and administer 

Cooperative Wildland Fire Management 

and Stafford Act Response Agreements, 

the USDA Forest Service, DOI Bureau of 

Land Management, DOI Fish and 

Wildlife Service, DOI National Park 

Service, and DOI Bureau of Indian 

Affairs must collect information from 

willing State, local, and Tribal 

governments from the pre-agreement to 

the closeout stage via telephone calls, 

emails, postal mail, and person-toperson meetings. There are multiple 

means to communicate responses, 

which include forms, optional forms, 

templates, electronic documents, in 

person, telephone, and email. The scope 

of information collected includes the 

project type, project scope, financial 

plan, statement of work, and 

cooperator’s business information. 

Without the collected information, 

authorized Federal agencies would not 

be able to negotiate, create, develop, and 

administer cooperative agreements with 

stakeholders for wildland fire 

protection, approved fire severity 

activities, and presidentially declared 

emergencies or disasters. Authorized 

Federal agencies would be unable to 

develop or monitor projects, make 

payments, or identify financial and 

accounting errors. 

The regulations governing Federal 

financial assistance relationships are not 

applicable to agreement templates under 

this information collection request. The 

regulations in 2 CFR 200 set forth the 

general rules that are applicable to all 

grants and cooperative agreements made 

by the Department of Agriculture and 

Department of the Interior. Because the 

Federal government’s use of Cooperative 

Wildland Fire Management and Stafford 

Act Response Agreements entered into 

under cited Federal statutes are not 

financial assistance for the benefit of the 

recipient, but instead are entered into 

for the mutual benefit of the Federal 

government and the non-Federal 

cooperators, the assistance regulations 

in 2 CFR 200, as adopted and 

supplemented by the Department of 

Start Printed Page 59768 Agriculture 

and Department of Interior, are not 

applicable to such agreements. 

This is an information collection 

request reinstatement. The Cooperative 

Wildland Fire Management and Stafford 

Act Response Agreement template can 

be viewed at www.fs.fed.us/managingland/fire/master-agreement-template. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 4 to 24 

hours annually per respondent. 

Type of Respondents: State, local, and 

Tribal governments. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 320. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1 to 4. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 47,040 hours. 

Public Comment: Public comment is 

invited on (1) whether this information 

collection 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 information collection, 

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 information collection 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.
