SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Sugar Imported for Export as 

Refined Sugar or as a Sugar-Containing 

Product, or used in the Production of 

Certain Polyhydric Alcohols. 

OMB Number: 0551–0015. 

Expiration Date of Approval: March 

31, 2015. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

Sugar Import Licensing Program is to 

permit entry of raw cane sugar, 

unrestricted by the quantitative limit 

established by the sugar tariff-rate quota, 

for re-export in refined form or in a 

sugar containing product or for the 

production of certain polyhydric 

alcohols. These programs are in use by 

as many as 250 licensees currently 

eligible to participate. Under 7 CFR part 

1530, licensees are required to submit 

the following: (1) ‘‘Application for a 

license’’ information required for 

participation as set forth in section 

1530.104; (2) ‘‘Regular reporting’’ of 

import, export, transfer, or use for 

charges and credits to licenses under 

section 1530.109; and (3) 

‘‘Miscellaneous submission’’ of bonds or 

letters of credit under section 1530.107, 

appeals of determinations by the 

licensing authority under section 

1530.112, or requests to the licensing 

authority for waivers under section 

1530.113. 

In addition, each participant must 

maintain records on all program reports 

as set forth in section 1530.110. The 

information collected is used by the 

licensing authority to manage, plan, 

evaluate, and account for program 

activities. The reports and records are 

required to ensure the proper operations 

of these programs. 

Estimate of Burden: (1) ‘‘Application 

for a license’’ would require 20 hours 

per response; (2) ‘‘Regular reporting’’ 

would require between 10 and 15 

minutes per transaction with the 

number of transactions varying per 

respondent; and (3) ‘‘miscellaneous 

submission’’ would require between 1 to 

2 hours per bond or letter of credit, 2 to 

10 hours per waiver request, and 10 to 

100 hours per appeal. 

Respondents: Sugar refiners, 

manufacturers of sugar containing 

products, and producers of polyhydric 

alcohol. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

250. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: New/Renew License: 1; 

Regular reporting: 75 transactions, total; 

Miscellaneous: Bonds/letters of credit: 

1; Waiver requests: 1; Appeals: 1. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours on 

Respondents: 1,739 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Specialty Sugar Certificate 

Application. 

OMB Number: 0551–0025. 

Expiration Date of Approval: March 

31, 2015. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: The quota system 

established by Presidential 

Proclamation 4941 of May 5, 1982, 

prevented imports of certain sugars used 

for specialized purposes which 

originated in countries without quota 

allocations. Therefore, the regulation at 

15 CFR part 2011 (Allocation of TariffRate Quota on Imported Sugars, Syrups 

and Molasses, subpart B—Specialty 

Sugar) established terms and conditions 

under which certificates are issued 

permitting U.S. importers holding 

certificates to enter specialty sugars 

from specialty sugar source countries 

under the sugar tariff-rate quotas (TRQ). 

Nothing in this subpart affects the 

ability to enter specialty sugars at the 

over-TRQ duty rates. Applicants for 

certificates for the import of specialty 

sugars must supply the information 

required by 15 CFR 2011.205 to be 

eligible to receive a specialty sugar 

certificate. The specific information 

required on an application must be 

collected from those who wish to 

participate in the program in order to 

grant specialty sugar certificates, ensure 

that imported specialty sugar does not 

disrupt the current domestic sugar 

program, and administer the issuance of 

the certificates effectively. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 2 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Importers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

37. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 74 hours.

Forest Service 

Helena National Forest, Montana, 

Tenmile—South Helena Vegetation 

Project 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The Helena National Forest is 

going to prepare an environmental 

impact statement for vegetation 

management actions in the Tenmile 

Municipal Watershed and the South 

Hills of the City of Helena east of the 

Continental Divide. The purpose of the 

project is to address the need to modify 

forest fuels accumulation in order to 

reduce the potential for high-severity 

wildfire effects within the City of 

Helena’s Municipal Watershed, 

wildland urban interface, and 

surrounding area as well as provide for 

firefighter and public safety. Treatment 

activities are proposed on both Forest 

Service and Bureau of Land 

Management Lands (BLM). 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis must be received by 

November 28, 2014. The draft 

environmental impact statement is 

expected April 2015 and the final 

environmental impact statement is 

expected May 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

William Avey Helena and Lewis & Clark 

National Forests Supervisor, Helena 

National Forest, 2880 Skyway Dr., 

Helena, MT 59602. Comments may also 

be sent via email to comments-northernhelena@fs.fed.us, or via facsimile to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The purpose of the project is to 

maintain consistent quantity and quality 

of water within the municipal 

watershed and improve conditions for 

public and firefighters safety across the 

landscape in the event of a wildfire. In 

order to achieve this purpose, there is a 

need to create a mosaic of vegetation 

and fuel structure more resilient to 

disturbance which will provide for 

safer, more effective fire suppression 

actions. Reducing intensity of wildfires 

and increase fire suppression 

effectiveness would improve protection 

measures for the surrounding 

communities and key municipal 

watershed infrastructure. These actions 

would reduce the probability of postwildfire watershed impacts in the 

Tenmile municipal watershed. In 

addition, sources of anthropogenic 

sediment to streams need to be 

addressed in order improve water 

quality, watershed function, and other 

resource values in the project area. 

Proposed Action 

Approximately 24,946 acres are 

proposed for treatment (24, 020 acres on 

Forest Service lands and 926 acres on 

BLM lands) which include a 

combination of commercial harvest of 

trees, non-commercial vegetation 

treatments, and prescribed fire. 

Mechanical and/or hand treatment 

methods would be used to accomplish 

treatment objectives. Proposed 

treatment activities include: Roughly 

4,002 acres of Improvement Harvest; 

11,194 acres of Low Severity Prescribed 

Fire; 2,420 acres of Mixed Severity 

Prescribed Fire; 470 acres of 

Precommercial Thinning; 2,231 acres of 

Private Land Buffers; and 4,629 acres of 

Regeneration Harvest. Up to 40-miles of 

new temporary and/or short-term 

specified road construction and 

approximately 80 miles of 

reconstruction of existing system road 

would be necessary to implement the 

proposed action. Temporary roads will 

be obliterated (restored to natural 

contours) upon completion of fuels 

removal operations. Site-specific 

amendments to the Helena National 

Forest (HNF) Plan standards pertaining 

to elk hiding cover, elk winter range, 

and elk thermal cover may be necessary 

in order to meet the project’s purpose 

and need. Approximately 35 percent 

(8,803 acres) of the project area is 

located within the Jericho Mountain and 

Lazyman Gulch Inventoried Roadless 

Areas (IRAs). The Jericho Mountain IRA 

is 8,749 acres. Of this, 78 percent or 

6,902 acres are within the project area 

boundary. Treatment activities are 

proposed on 45 percent or 3,958 acres 

within the Jericho Mountain IRA. The 

Lazyman Gulch IRA is 11,848 acres and 

is entirely within the project area 

boundary. Treatment activities are 

proposed on 40 percent or 4,845 acres 

of the Lazyman Gulch IRA. Proposed 

treatment activities in IRAs would 

include a combination of commercial 

harvest of trees, non-commercial 

vegetation treatments, and prescribed 

fire. Mechanical and/or hand treatments 

methods would be utilized to 

accomplish treatment objectives within 

both IRAs. Commercial transport of 

timber is proposed on Forest Service 

System roads 1863 and 1863–E1 which 

are located within the Jericho Mountain 

IRA. The current maintenance level of 

these roads is capable of supporting 

commercial activities and no reconstruction of road features is 

necessary. Also, use of Forest Service 

system road 1864, located in the Jericho 

Mountain IRA, is proposed for the 

purpose of providing machine access 

into proposed treatment units. No 

commercial haul of timber is proposed 

on road 1864. No road construction of 

system or temporary roads is proposed 

within either IRA. The legal location of 

this project is: Township 10N RO6W
