Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339 

between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., 

Eastern Standard Time, Monday 

through Friday. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

revised Plans describe desired 

conditions, include objectives, 

standards and guidelines, and identify 

lands suitable for various uses. The 

Plans will guide project and activity 

decision making and all resource 

management activities on the Forests for 

the next 15 years. They are part of the 

long-range resource planning framework 

established by the Forest and Rangeland 

Renewable Resources Planning of 1974 

(RPA), the Government Performance 

and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), and the 

2012 Revision of the USDA Forest 

Service Strategic Plan. 

The development of the revised Forest 

Plans spanned more than 13 years and 

was shaped by the best available 

science, current laws, public input from 

numerous public meetings and open 

houses, and more than 100 communitybased work group sessions. These open 

meetings identified the core values of 

local communities regarding natural 

resource management and highlighted 

the many points of agreement that exist 

among diverse participants. Our 

national forests face many new 

challenges including increasing 

demands for multiple uses, increasing 

population pressures and development 

of neighboring lands. The revised Plans 

lay the foundation to address and 

balance the economic, ecological and 

social needs of forest stakeholders, 

while continuing the legacy of 

protecting water and restoring forest 

health. The Plans are designed to 

facilitate management that will: Supply 

clean water, provide economic 

opportunities for local communities, 

restore and maintain ecosystems, 

improve the resistance and resiliency of 

the forest vegetation to undesirable 

disturbances and potential climate 

change effects, offer a diversity of 

recreation opportunities including 

remote settings, and utilize best 

available science.

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: International Trade 

Administration, Commerce. 

Title: Surveys for User Satisfaction, 

Impact, and Needs. 

OMB Control Number: 0625–XXXX. 

Form Number(s): ITA–XXXXP. 

Type of Request: Regular submission; 

new information collection; generic 

clearance. 

Number of Respondents: 30,000. 

Average Hours per Response: 10 

minutes.

Needs and Uses: The International 

Trade Administration provides a 

multitude of international trade related 

programs to help U.S. businesses. These 

programs include information products, 

services, and trade events. To 

accomplish its mission effectively, ITA 

needs ongoing feedback on its programs. 

This information collection instrument 

allows ITA to solicit clients’ opinions 

about the use of ITA products, services, 

and trade events. To promote optimal 

use and provide focused and effective 

improvements to ITA programs, we are 

requesting approval for this clearance 

package; including: Use of Comment 

Cards (i.e. transactional-based surveys) 

to collect feedback immediately after 

ITA assistance is provided to clients; 

use of annual surveys (i.e. relationshipbased surveys) to gauge overall 

satisfaction, impact and needs for 

clients with ITA assistance provided 

over a period of time; use of multiple 

data collection methods (i.e. webenabled surveys sent via email, 

telephone interviews, automated 

telephone surveys, and in-person 

surveys via mobile devices/laptops/

tablets at trade events/shows) to enable 

clients to conveniently respond to 

requests for feedback; and a forecast of 

burden hours. Without this information, 

ITA is unable to systematically 

determine the actual and relative levels 

of performance for its programs and 

products/services and to provide clear, 

actionable insights for managerial 

intervention. This information will be 

used for program evaluation and 

improvement, strategic planning, 

allocation of resources and stakeholder 

reporting.
