SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Application for Permit for Use 

of Roads, Trails, or Areas Restricted by 

Regulation or Order. 

OMB Number: 0596–0016. 

Expiration Date of Approval: April 30, 

2022. 

Type of Request: Renewal with 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: Authority for permits for use 

of National Forest System (NFS) roads, 

NFS trails, and areas on NFS lands 

restricted by order or regulation derives 

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; establish 

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, 212.51, 261.10, 

261.12, 261.13, 261.54, and 261.55. 

In particular, 36 CFR 212.5 and 212.9 

authorize the Chief of the Forest Service 

to establish procedures for investment 

sharing and to require commercial users 

to perform maintenance commensurate 

with their road use. Section 261.10 

contains a national prohibition against 

constructing or maintaining an NFS 

road or NFS trail without a written 

authorization. Section 212.12 contains a 

national prohibition against violating 

the load, weight, height, length, or 

width limitations of State law when 

using NFS roads without a written 

authorization. Section 212.13 contains a 

national prohibition against possessing 

or operating a motor vehicle on NFS 

roads, NFS trails, or areas on NFS lands 

that are not designated for motor vehicle 

use on a motor vehicle use map, unless 

the use is authorized by a written 

authorization. Section 261.54 authorizes 

issuance of an order prohibiting use of 

an NFS road in a manner prohibited by 

the order without a written 

authorization, including commercial 

hauling without a permit or written 

authorization when required by order. 

Section 261.55 authorizes issuance of an 

order prohibiting use of an NFS trail in 

a manner prohibited by the order 

without a written authorization. 

Forest Service directives 

implementing the regulations are found 

in Forest Service Manual 2350, 7710, 

and 7730 and Forest Service Handbook 

7709.59, chapter 20. These directives 

provide for the size and weight limits 

under State traffic law to apply on NFS 

roads and require the responsible 

official to designate NFS roads, NFS 

trails, and areas on NFS lands for motor 

vehicle use; enter into appropriate 

investment sharing arrangements, 

require commercial users of NFS roads 

to perform maintenance commensurate 

with their road use; and issue orders 

that implement the authority in 36 CFR 

261.54. The permits road users obtain 

contain appropriate requirements for 

implementation of applicable 

regulations and directives. 

• Form FS–7700–40, Application for 

Permit for Use of Roads, Trails, or Areas 

Restricted by Regulation or Order. This 

form will be used by individuals and 

entities that apply for a permit to use 

NFS roads, NFS trails, or areas on NFS 

lands that are subject to a restriction 

established by regulation or order. 

Examples of restrictions requiring 

permits are motor vehicle use on NFS 

roads and NFS trails that are not 

designated for that purpose; operating 

trucks that exceed size limits 

established by State traffic law on NFS 

roads; area closures during periods of 

high fire danger; and non-Federal 

commercial use of NFS roads. 

The following information is 

collected: (1) The applicant’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) 

identification of the NFS roads, NFS 

trails, and areas on NFS lands proposed 

for use (NFS roads and NFS trails are 

identified by Forest Service route 

number, and areas on NFS lands are 

identified using a map); (3) purpose of 

use; and (4) the proposed use schedule. 

The applicant is asked to provide 

explanatory information specific to the 

proposed use, including information on 

the types and size of vehicles, through 

attachments and remarks. There are 

standard attachments available for use 

when the application requests oversize 

vehicle use or commercial use of roads. 

The application is submitted to the 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 103 / Tuesday, June 1, 2021 / Notices 29235 

Forest Supervisor or District Ranger 

responsible for the NFS roads, NFS 

trails, or areas on NFS lands for which 

a permit is requested. 

When applications for commercial 

use of roads restricted by order are 

received, the information is used to 

identify maintenance commensurate 

with the applicant’s road use. The 

information is also used to calculate the 

proportion of acquisition, construction, 

and maintenance costs associated with 

the NFS roads proposed for use that is 

assignable to the applicant for purposes 

of investment sharing. When requests 

are for oversize vehicle use, the 

information is used to evaluate the 

structural capacity of bridges and 

potential adverse effects on the safety of 

other traffic on the roads proposed for 

use. When the application requests use 

of NFS roads, NFS trails, or areas on 

NFS lands that are not designated for 

motor vehicle use or are restricted by 

order, the information is used to decide 

whether and, if appropriate, when the 

use should be permitted. 

The identifying information collected 

on form FS–7700–40, Application for 

Permit for Use of Roads, Trails, or Areas 

Restricted by Regulation or Order, is 

used on form FS–7700–41, Non-Federal 

Commercial Road Use Permit, and form 

FS–7700–48, Permit for Use of Roads, 

Trails, or Areas Restricted by Regulation 

or Order, to identify the permit holder 

and the routes or areas requested for 

use. When form FS–7700–41 is issued, 

road maintenance requirements, road 

use schedules, and any necessary 

payments to be made in lieu of 

performance of maintenance developed 

from the data submitted on or with form 

FS–7700–40 are included in form FS– 

7700–41. When form FS–7700–48 is 

issued, requirements resulting from data 

submitted with form FS–7700–40, such 

as requirements for signs and pilot cars 

when moving oversize vehicles, are 

included. A copy of form FS–7700–41 

or form FS–7700–48 must be carried in 

the holder’s motor vehicle during use of 

the NFS roads, NFS trails, or areas on 

NFS lands covered by the permit. 

• Forms FS–7700–41, Non-Federal 

Commercial Road Use Permit, and FS– 

7700–48, Permit for Use of Roads, 

Trails, or Areas Restricted by Regulation 

or Order. Form FS–7700–41, FS–7700– 

41, and FS–7700–48 have been 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB). The Forest Service 

is seeking renewal of this approval. No 

information beyond that collected on 

form FS–7700–40 will be collected on 

forms FS–7700–41 and FS–7700–48. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 15 

minutes per application. 

Type of Respondents: All those who 

need to use NFS roads, NFS trails, or 

areas on NFS lands that are restricted by 

regulation or order. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 20,000.

Responses per Respondent: One. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 5,000 hours. 

Public Comment: Public comment is 

invited on (1) whether this information 

collection 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 information collection, 

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 information collection on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection
