SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Voluntary ‘‘Do Not Sell’’ List of 

Invasive Plant Species. 

OMB Number: 0579–XXXX. 

Type of Request: Approval of a new 

information collection. 

Abstract: In 2001, the Florida 

Nursery, Growers, & Landscape 

Association (FNGLA), in cooperation 

with the Florida Exotic Pest Plant 

Council (FLEPPC), created and 

promoted a list of known invasive plant 

species that should not be grown or sold 

in Florida nurseries. Forty-three plant 

species were chosen for the list. A 

voluntary effort by nurseries to limit 

trade in these species is a potentially 

worthwhile approach to safeguarding 

U.S. ecosystems from invasive plants. 

The effectiveness of the voluntary 

program on trade in these species since 

2001 has not been fully studied, 

however. 

The Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture is 

responsible for safeguarding the United 

States against plant pests and noxious 

weeds. A recent assessment by the 

Center for Plant Health Science and 

Technology, Plant Protection and 

Quarantine, APHIS, indicated that 

availability in Florida nurseries of the 

43 species on the FNGLA list has not 

changed since 1999. APHIS proposes to 

conduct a single survey of owners and 

managers of Florida nurseries and plant 

dealers to determine how many were 

aware of the program, whether they 

were complying if they were aware of it, 

and whether they would have complied 

if they had known about it. The results 

of the survey will help APHIS learn how 

well such voluntary ‘‘do not sell’’

programs may be accepted by owners 

and managers of nurseries and plant 

dealers and how effective such 

programs may be. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve the information collection 

activity associated with the voluntary 

‘‘do not sell’’ list of invasive species for 

Florida nurseries. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate 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; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 0.5 

hour per response. 

Respondents: Owners and managers 

of nurseries, and nursery stock dealers 

in Florida. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 200. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 200. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 100 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

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. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 23rd day of 

September 2005.

Information Collection; Day Use on the 

National Forests of Southern California 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice; request for comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Forest Service is seeking comments 

from all interested individuals and 

organizations on the extension 

information collection, Day Use on the 

National Forests of Southern California. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing on or before November 28, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Comments concerning this 

notice should be addressed to Dr. 

Deborah J. Chavez, Pacific Southwest 

Research Station, 4955 Canyon Crest 

Drive, Riverside, CA 92507. Comments 

also may be submitted via facsimile to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Day 

Use on the National Forests of Southern 

California. 

OMB Number: 0596–0129. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

3/31/2006. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Abstract: Users of urban proximate 

National Forests in Southern California 

come from a variety of ethnic/racial, 

income, age, educational, and other 

socio-demographic backgrounds. The 

activities pursued, information sources 

utilized, and site attributes preferred are 

just some of the items affected by these 

differences. Past studies completed 

through previously approved collections 

56888 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 188 / Thursday, September 29, 2005 / Notices 

have provided baseline information 

from which managers have made 

decisions, revised forest plans, and 

renovated/redesigned recreation sites. 

Additional information is needed for the 

managers of National Forests in 

Southern California, in part to validate 

previous results and in part because of 

the continuously changing profile of the 

visitor population recreating on the 

National Forests of Southern California. 

In the absence of the resultant 

information from the proposed series, 

the Forest Service will be ill-equipped 

to implement management changes 

required to respond to the needs and 

preferences of day use visitors. Data will 

be collected from visitors at outdoor 

recreation day use sites (these include 

developed picnic areas, general forest 

day use sites, off-road staging areas, 

trails, etc.) on National Forests in 

Southern California. Sites, dates of data 

collection, and individuals participating 

in the study will be randomly selected 

for inclusion in the study. Survey 

instruments will be available in English 

and Spanish and bilingual research 

teams will collect the data. Participation 

in this study is voluntary. The 

maximum amount of completion time 

will average 15 minutes or less. 

Participants will answer questions on 

the following topics: socio-demographic 

profile; National Forest visitation 

history and patterns; activity patterns; 

information and communication; site 

amenities/characteristics; perceptions 

about the environment and land uses; 

and general comments. Urban National 

Forests in Southern California have 

used the information to assist in 

effective management of recreation 

activities in the region studied. Data 

collected previously has been used by 

the agency to institute forest 

newspapers, add site renovations to an 

existing picnic area, and in forest 

planning. Results have been presented 

at local, national and international 

meetings, and have been published in 

several outlets. Data generated through 

this collection will be utilized in a 

similar manner as well as provide 

opportunities for comparisons of visitor 

profile and use shifts over time. Data 

will be evaluated and analyzed by Dr. 

Deborah J. Chavez at the Pacific 

Southwest Research Station. 

Consequences for not collecting this 

data would be (a) decreased service 

delivery due to decreased quality and 

breadth of information provided to 

resource managers on the sociodemographic profile of visitors, 

visitation history and patterns, 

information and communication, site 

amenities/characteristics, perceptions 

about the environment and land uses, 

(b) decreased ability to continue to 

expand approved research work unit’s 

assigned study topics such as 

understanding visitor profiles, (c) 

increased response time for inquiries 

into topics from managers and 

university contacts, (d) increased 

dependency on cooperator availability 

to carry out research unit mission, and 

(e) loss of information represented in 

follow-up longitudinal studies. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 15 

minutes per respondent. 

Type of Respondents: Recreation 

visitors to urban National Forests in 

Southern California. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 600 per year. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1 per year. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 150 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 

submission for Office of Management 

and Budget approval.
