Previously Published Directives That 

Have Not Been Finalized 

The following proposed and interim 

directives have been published for 

public comment but have not yet been 

finalized: 

1. Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2200, 

Rangeland Management, Chapters Zero 

Code; 2210, Rangeland Management 

Planning; 2220, Management of 

Rangelands (Reserved); 2230, Grazing 

Permit System; 2240, Rangeland 

Improvements; 2250, Rangeland 

Management Cooperation; and 2270, 

Information Management and Reports; 

FSH 2209.13, Grazing Permit 

Administration Handbook, Chapters 10, 

Term Grazing Permits; 20, Grazing 

Agreements; 30, Temporary Grazing and 

Livestock Use Permits; 40, Livestock 

Use Permits; 50, Tribal Treaty

Rangeland Management Decision 

Making; and Forest Service Handbook 

2209.16, Allotment Management 

Handbook, Chapter 10, Allotment 

Management and Administration. 

2. FSM 3800, Landscape Scale 

Restoration Program. 

Final Directives That Have Been Issued 

Since April 1, 2022 

1. FSM 2710, Special Use 

Authorizations, and FSH 2709.11, 

Special Uses Handbook, Chapter 50, 

Standard Forms and Supplemental 

Clauses. The Forest Service published 

final directives related to the storage 

and use of explosives authorized by 

special use authorizations. Some special 

use permit holders use various types of 

explosives and sometimes military 

munitions for avalanche mitigation, tree 

and rock removal, road construction, 

maintenance, and other construction 

projects. Holders of ski area permits and 

state transportation authorities maintain 

additional magazines for these 

purposes. 

The final directives clarify the role 

and jurisdiction of the Bureau of 

Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and 

Explosives (ATF), the Department of the 

Army, states, and the Forest Service 

over explosives use and storage when 

authorized on National Forest System 

lands, including explosives magazine 

security. These directives provide that 

special use authorization holders that 

are authorized to store and use 

explosives must comply with all ATF 

regulations, state and Army 

requirements, if applicable, and Forest 

Service requirements. The directives 

make compliance with the special use 

authorization contingent upon 

continued compliance with these 

requirements. The directives provide for 

training of permit administrators to 

ensure that they can effectively monitor 

the requirements of a holder’s operating 

plan, including required magazine 

security provisions. The 60-day 

comment period for this directive began 

June 23, 2020, and closed August 22, 

2020. Five public comments were 

received on the proposed directives, 

which can be viewed at https://

cara.fs2c.usda.gov/Public/ 

ReadingRoom?project=ORMS-2226. The 

final directives were issued May 12, 

2022, and can be viewed at https://

wo_2710_Amend-2022-2.docx. 

2. FSM 7700, Travel Management, 

Chapters Zero and 10, Travel Planning. 

The Forest Service has issued final 

directives that clarify how electric 

bicycles (e-bikes) are managed on 

National Forest System lands. The 

directives add a definition of e-bikes as 

a class of motor vehicle, including 

separate definitions for Class 1, 2 and 3 

e-bikes; establish criteria for 

consideration in designating National 

Forest System roads, National Forest 

System trails, and areas on National 

Forest System lands for e-bike use that 

are not currently designated for motor 

vehicle use; update the definition of 

‘‘bicycle,’’ and align Forest Service 

directives with regulations promulgated 

by the U.S. Department of the Interior 

bureaus by adding e-bike definitions 

and requiring site-specific decisionmaking and environmental analysis. 

The 30-day comment period for these 

directives began September 24, 2020, 

and closed October 26, 2020. Over 9,140 

public comments were received on the 

proposed directives, which can be 

viewed at https://cara.fs2c.usda.gov/ 

Public/ReadingRoom?project=ORMS2619. Approximately 6,020 were unique 

letters; only five percent included 

substantive comments. The final 

directives provide for managing all 

classes of e-bikes as motor vehicles and 

require local-level decision-making and 

environmental analysis to allow use of 

e-bikes on non-motorized trails, 

consistent with the Forest Service’s 

Travel Management Rule. The final 

directives were issued March 31, 2022, 

and can be viewed at https://

jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
41280 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 12, 2022 / Notices 

implementing provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 104–13) requires that interested 

members of the public and affected 

agencies have an opportunity to 

comment on information collection and 

recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)). This notice identifies the 

following information collection that 

Rural Utilities Service is submitting to 

OMB as extension to an existing 

collection with Agency adjustment. 

Title: 7 CFR part 1730, Review Rating 

Summary, RUS Form 300.

Expiration Date of Approval: 

November 30, 2022. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved information 

collection.

Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service 

(RUS) manages loan programs in 

accordance with the RE Act of 1936, as 

amended (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.). An 

important part of safeguarding loan 

security is to see that RUS financed 

facilities are being responsibly used, 

adequately operated, and adequately 

maintained. Future needs must be 

anticipated to ensure that facilities will 

continue to produce revenue and loans 

will be repaid as required by the RUS 

mortgage. A periodic operations and 

maintenance (O&M) review, using the 

RUS Form 300, in accordance with 7 

CFR part 1730, is an effective means for 

RUS to determine whether the 

Borrower’s systems are being properly 

operated and maintained, thereby 

protecting the loan collateral. The O&M 

review is also used to rate facilities and 

can be used for appraisals of collateral 

as prescribed by OMB Circular A–129, 

Policies for Federal Credit Programs and 

Non-Taxable Receivables. 

The loans and loan guarantees finance 

the construction of electric distribution, 

transmission, and generation facilities, 

including system improvements and 

replacement required to furnish and 

improve electric service in rural areas, 

as well as demand side management, 

energy efficiency and conservation 

programs, and on-grid and off-grid 

renewable energy systems. Loans are 

made to cooperatives as well as to 

corporations, states, territories and 

subdivisions and agencies such as 

municipalities, people’s utility districts, 

and nonprofit, limited dividend or 

mutual associations that provide retail 

electric service needs to rural areas or 

supply the power needs of distribution 

borrowers in rural areas. 

Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the 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 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 respondents, including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. All responses to this notice 

will be summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. 

Copies of this information collection 

can be obtained from Arlette 

Mussington, Rural Development 

Innovation Center—Regulations 

Management Division, at (202) 720– 

2825. Email: arlette.mussington@

usda.gov. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.
