Forest Service 

Notice of New Fee Site; Federal Lands 

Recreation Enhancement Act 

AGENCY: Allegheny National Forest, 

USDA Forest Service. 

ACTION: Notice of New Fee Site. 

SUMMARY: The Allegheny National 

Forest is planning to charge from $100–

$150 per night fee for rental of the 

Farnsworth Cabin. This cabin has not 

been available to the public for 

recreation use prior to Spring 2009. This 

historic cabin was built by the Civilian 

Conservation Corp in the 1940’s. Rentals 

of other cabins on the Allegheny 

National Forest have shown that the 

public appreciates and enjoys the 

availability of historic rental cabins. 

DATES: Farnsworth Cabin will become 

available for recreation rental Spring, 

2009. 

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, 

Allegheny National Forest, P.O. Box 

847, Warren PA 16365. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Tonika Goins, Recreation Team Leader 

for Bradford District, 29 Forest Service 

Drive, Bradford, PA 16701, phone (814)

tonikagoins@fs.fed.us. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement 

Act (title VIII, Pub. L. 108–447) directed 

the Secretary of Agriculture to publish 

a six month advance notice in the 

Federal Register whenever new 

recreation fee areas are established. The 

new fee will be reviewed by a 

Recreation Resource Advisory 

Committee prior to a final decision and 

implementation. A market analysis 

indicates that the $100 to $150/per night 

fee is both reasonable and acceptable for 

this sort of unique recreation 

experience. People wanting to rent 

Farnsworth Cabin will need to do so 

through the National Recreation 

Reservation Service, at http:// 

www.reserveusa.com or by calling 

1–877–444–6777. The National 

Recreation Reservation Service charges 

a $9 fee for reservation.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Annual Retail Trade Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0607–0013. 

Form Number(s): SA–44, SA–44A, 

SA–44C, SA–44E, SA–44N, SA–44S, 

SA–45, SA–45C, SA–721A, SA–721E, 

SA–722A and SA–722E. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 11,845. 

Number of Respondents: 20,971. 

Average Hours Per Response: 34 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The Annual Retail 

Trade Survey (ARTS) provides the only 

continuing official measure of annual 

total retail sales, e-commerce sales, endof-year inventories, sales/inventory 

ratios, purchases, inventory valuation 

methods, gross margin, and end-of-year 

accounts receivables for retailers and 

annual sales and e-commerce sales for 

accommodation and food services firms 

in the United States. 

The data collected in the ARTS 

provide a current statistical picture of 

the retail and food services and 

accommodations portions of consumer 

activity. Also, the estimates compiled 

from this survey provide valuable 

information for economic policy 

decisions and actions by government 

and are widely used by private 

businesses, trade organizations, 

professional associations, and others for 

market research and analysis. The sales 

and receipts data are used by the Bureau 

of Economic Analysis (BEA) in 

determining the consumption portion of 

the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). 

The BEA is the primary Federal user 

of the data collected in the ARTS and 

the information collected is critical to 

the quality of several of BEA’s key 

programs. The data on retail sales are 

used to prepare detailed annual 

personal consumption expenditures 

estimates; merchandise inventories, 

valuation methods and merchandise 

purchases are used to prepare annual 

estimates of change in the business 

inventory component of GDP. Sales, 

merchandise purchases, inventories, 

inventory valuation and sales tax data 

are used to prepare estimates of GDP by 

industry and to derive industry output 

for the input-output accounts. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Title 13, United 

States Code, Sections 182, 224 and 225.
