displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Forest Service 

Title: Commercial Use of Woodsy Owl 

Symbol—36 CFR Part 272. 

OMB Control Number: 0596–0087. 

Summary of Collection: The Forest 

Service National Symbols Coordinator 

will evaluate the data to determine if an 

individual corporation, or organization, 

requesting a license to use the Woodsy 

Owl symbol commercially should be 

granted a license or, if currently 

licensed, to determine the royalty fee 

the licensed entity must pay to the 

agency based on a percentage of the 

licensee’s total sales and whether the 

licensed entity has met its stated 

objectives. Part 272 of title 36 CFR 

authorizes the Chief of the Forest 

Service to approve commercial use of 

the Woodsy Owl symbol and to collect 

royalty fees for such use. An individual 

or corporation may apply for a Woodsy 

Owl license by contacting Forest Service 

personnel by telephone, fax, and e-mail 

or by writing. 

Need and Use of the Information: FS 

will collect information to determine 

how long the individual, corporation, or 

organization has been in business; the 

products the individual, corporation, or 

organization sells or plans to see; the 

geographical location from which the 

products will be sold; the projected 

sales volume; and how the individual, 

corporation, or organization plans to 

market the products. If information is 

not collected royalty fees would not be 

collected in keeping with federal cash 

management policies, and quantity of 

merchandise objectives would not be 

effectively monitored. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 10. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

quarterly. 

Total Burden Hours: 20.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

The Codex Alimentarius Commission 

(Codex) was established in 1962 by two 

United Nations organizations, the Food 

and Agriculture Organization and the 

World Health Organization. Codex is the 

major international standard-setting 

organization for protecting the health 

and economic interests of consumers 

and encouraging fair international trade 

in food. Through adoption of food 

standards, codes of practice, and other 

guidelines developed by its committees, 

and by promoting their adoption and 

implementation by governments, Codex 

seeks to ensure that the world’s food 

supply is sound, wholesome, free from 

adulteration, and correctly labeled. In 

the United States, USDA, FDA, and the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

manage and carry out U.S. Codex 

activities. 

The Codex Committee on Methods of 

Analysis and Sampling (CCMAS) 

performs multiple functions; defines 

criteria appropriate for Codex Methods 

of Analysis and Sampling; specifies 

reference methods of analysis and 

sampling; endorses methods of analysis 

and sampling proposed by Codex 

Committees; elaborates sampling plans; 

and considers specific sampling and 

analysis problems. The Committee is 

chaired by Hungary.

Meeting

the 26th Session of CCMAS will be
