SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Recreation Fee Permit Envelope. 

OMB Number: 0596–0106. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

September 1, 2009. 

Type of Request: Extension with 

Revision. 

Abstract: The Federal Lands 

Recreation and Enhancement Act (16 

U.S.C. 6801–6814) authorizes the Forest 

Service to collect recreation fees for use 

of government facilities and services. 

The FS–2300–26, Recreation Fee 

Envelope, is a form used to document 

when visitors pay a required recreation 

fee. Currently, information collected for 

FS–2300–26 includes the amount 

enclosed in the envelope, number of 

days paid, time and date of purchase, 

visitor’s vehicle license number and 

registered state, visitor’s home ZIP-code, 

number in party, other charges (if 

applicable), visitor’s Golden Passport or 

Interagency Pass Number (if applicable) 

and planned departure date, if 

applicable. The Forest Service is not 

proposing to change this information. 

Also collected for FS–2300–26 is 

selected camp unit number (if 

applicable). The Forest Service proposes 

changing this collection to specify the 

type of camp unit in addition to the 

number (single campsite selected, or 

group campsite selected, and number in 

group campsite.) 

The Forest Service proposes adding 

optional site- and activity-specific 

information to this collection, including 

a selection of the visitor’s activity (site 

name, general recreation use, swim site, 

off highway vehicle, river use, trailhead, 

concessionaire-operated site, other). 

This information is used to ensure 

that visitors have paid a required 

recreation fee. The information will be 

collected by federal employees and 

agents who are authorized to collect the 

recreation fees or rent government 

facilities. A national forest may use ZIP 

codes to help determine where the 

national forest’s visitor base originates. 

Activity information may be used to 

improve services. Personal information 

such as names, addresses, and vehicle 

registration will not be maintained. 

Collecting this information is important 

to ensure that the national forests are 

able to evaluate whether a visitor has 

paid a required recreation fee. 

If unable to collect this information, 

national forests would not be able to 

verify who has paid a recreation fee. 

National forests would not be able to 

schedule and rent government-owned 

facilities to the public successfully. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 3 

minutes. 

Type of Respondents: Individuals. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 2 million. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 1,666 hours. 

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 

9384 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 41 / Wednesday, March 4, 2009 / Notices 

request for Office of Management and 

Budget approval.

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of Notice of intent 

to prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement. 

SUMMARY: On May 9, 2006, Federal 

Register (Volume 71, Number 89, [Page 

26921–26923]), the USDA Forest 

Service, Plumas National Forest 

announced its intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

to eradicate populations of the noxious 

weed tall whitetop (Lepidium 

Iatifoliuin), along the Middle Fork of the 

Feather River. The proposed Federal 

action in this EIS was to use a three-step 

process to ensure the successful 

eradication of tallwhite top. One of the 

steps involved the use of herbicides. 

The EIS would have evaluated the 

environmental effects associated with 

these actions and any reasonable 

alternatives. 

The notice of intent to prepare an EIS 

is withdrawn. The Plumas National 

Forest will continue the NEPA process 

by preparing an Environmental 

Assessment to evaluate the 

environmental effects of a new proposed 

action.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the emergency 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 

Agency: National 

Telecommunications and Information 

Administration. 

Title: Message Testing Focus Groups 

and Interviews for the Digital-to-Analog 

Converter Box Program. 

OMB Control Number: None. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Emergency 

submission. 

Number of Respondents: 328. 

Average Hours per Response: 90 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 492. 

Needs and Uses: Congress directed 

the National Telecommunications and 

Information Administration (NTIA) to 

create and implement a program to 

provide coupons for consumers to 

purchase digital-to-analog converter 

boxes. These converter boxes are 

necessary for consumers who wish to 

continue receiving broadcast 

programming over the air using analogonly television sets after February 17, 

2009—the date that television stations 

are required by law to cease analog 

broadcasting. Since September 2007, 

NTIA has been conducting a consumer 

education campaign to educate U.S. 

residents who receive over-the-air 

broadcasts on analog television sets 

about the digital television transition 

and the TV Converter Box Coupon 

Program. While awareness of the 

coupon program has been nationally 

reported, more than five million 

households were completely 

unprepared as of February 2009. On 

February 11, 2009, the President signed 

the DTV Delay Act into law changing 

the date by which all full-power 

television stations must cease analog 

broadcasts to June 12, 2009. 

In an effort to help further determine 

who the unprepared households are, if 

the households have taken any steps to 

prepare for the transition, if not why, 

and the optimal messages and methods 

to communicate with the consumers 

who are not ready in the final months 

leading up to the transition, NTIA, will 

conduct 32 focus groups in ten cities 

and a limited number of individual 

interviews. This effort would lead in the 

development of new messages and 

materials to reach these consumers. The 

targeted audiences, identified as the 

more reliant on over-the-air television, 

include the following: (1) Economically 

disadvantaged households; (2) rural 

residents; (3) minorities; (4) people with 

disabilities; and (5) seniors. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: One-time only. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

OMB Desk Officer: Nicholas Fraser,

collection proposal can be obtained by
