including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques 
and other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by May 12, 
2022 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the 
proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of 
the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for

control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Forest Service

    Title: Application and Permit for Non-Federal Commercial Use of 
Roads, Trails and Areas Restricted by Regulation or Order.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0016.
    Summary of Collection: Authority for permits for use of National 
Forest System (NFS) roads, trails, and areas on NFS lands restricted by 
order or regulation drives from the National Forest Roads and Trails 
Act (16 U.S.C. 532-538). This statute authorizes the Secretary of 
Agriculture to promulgate regulations regarding use of NFS roads, NFS 
trails, and areas on NFS lands; established procedures for sharing 
investments in NFS roads; and require commercial users to perform road 
maintenance commensurate with their use of NFS roads. Forest Service 
regulations implementing this authority are found in 36 CFR 212.5, 
212.9,

[[Page 21609]]

212.51, 261.10, 261.12, 261.13, 261.54, and 261.55.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information is collected from 
individuals, corporations, or organizations who want to use a NFS Road, 
Trail or Area for purposes that are restricted. The agency issues Road 
Use Permits for a variety of reasons: To allow people to use a road, 
trail or area that is otherwise closed; to allow people to perform 
maintenance on a road when they desire a higher standard than the 
Forest Service does; to allow people to plow snow on a road; for non-
federal commercial use of a road; or to allow over size or over weight 
vehicles. For non-federal commercial use permits, the land owner 
generally obtains the permit, but will employ a timber/trucking company 
to haul the material. Without the information FS would not be able to 
issue permits for moving oversize vehicles on FNS roads, permits to 
enter areas subject to areas for closures, or permits for motorized use 
of roads, trails, or areas not designated for such use on a motor 
vehicle use map.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; 
Individuals or households; State, Local or Tribal Government; Not-for-
profit institutions; Farms.
    Number of Respondents: 1,100.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 275.
