SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: California Campfire Permit. 

OMB Number: 0596–New. 

Type of Request: New. 

Abstract: The issuance of the 

California Campfire Permit by Forest 

Service and Bureau of Land 

Management offices in California is a 

requirement resulting from a formal 

agreement with the State of California. 

The agreement outlines fire 

management responsibilities for each 

party and results in enhanced 

cooperation for fire suppression and fire 

prevention activities across agency 

boundaries throughout the State. 

California State Law requires 

individuals to possess a permit to light, 

maintain, or use a campfire on the 

property of another person and also 

requires individuals to obtain a 

campfire permit issued under Forest 

Service authority for campfires on 

National Forest System lands. As part of 

a formal agreement with the State, the 

Forest Service, Bureau of Land 

Management, and the California 

Department of Forestry and Fire 

Protection (Cal Fire) have agreed to 

issue an interagency campfire permit 

that meets the intent of the State law. 

California Public Resources Code 4433: 

Permits Required. A person shall not light, 

maintain, or use a campfire upon any brushcovered land, grass-covered land, or forestcovered land which is the property of 

another person unless he first obtains a 

written permit from the owner, lessee, or 

agent of the owner or lessee of the property. 

If, however, campsites and special areas 

have been established by the property owner 

and posted as areas for camping, a permit is 

not necessary. 

A written campfire permit duly issued by 

or under the authority of the United States 

Forest Service is necessary for use on land 

under the jurisdiction and control of the 

United States Forest Service. 

The California Campfire Permit is 

issued in every Forest Service, Bureau 

of Land Management, and Cal Fire office 

in the State that is open to the public. 

The permit is required for any 

individual that intends to make a 

campfire on National Forest System 

lands or Bureau of Land Management 

lands. Only one permit is required per 

year per person. The permit requires 

individuals to provide their printed 

name and signature, which is used by 

designated law enforcement officials to 

verify that the permit belongs to a 

responsible individual that is present at 

a campfire. The information is not 

otherwise used or maintained for any 

purpose by the Forest Service, Bureau of 

Land Management or Cal Fire. 

The California Campfire Permit is a 

valuable fire prevention tool that 

provides firefighting organizations in 

California an opportunity to educate 

members of the public on safe and 

responsible campfire use, and allows 

agencies to personally provide fire 

prevention messages to every individual 

that intends to build or maintain a 

campfire in the State. Without the 

Forest Service and Bureau of Land 

Management participating in the 

distribution of this permit, those 

agencies would lose an important fire 

prevention tool while making it 

impossible for individuals to comply 

with state law due to the language in the 

State law requiring a campfire permit to 

be issued under Forest Service authority 

for campfires on National Forest System 

lands. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: Five 

minutes. 

Type of Respondents: Individuals 

who use government facilities and 

services. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 250,000 (per National 

Visitor Use Monitoring or NVUM). 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: One. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 20,833 hours. 

Comment is Invited: 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 request toward Office of 

Management and Budget approval.

Atlantic Shark Identification 

Workshops 

Since December 31, 2007, Atlantic 

shark dealers have been prohibited from 

receiving, purchasing, trading, or 

bartering for Atlantic sharks unless a 

valid Atlantic Shark Identification 

Workshop certificate is on the premises 

of each business listed under the shark 

dealer permit which first receives 

Atlantic sharks (71 FR 58057; October 2, 

2006). Dealers who attend and 

successfully complete a workshop are 

issued a certificate for each place of 

business that is permitted to receive 

sharks. These certificate(s) are valid for 

three years. 

Currently permitted dealers may send 

a proxy to an Atlantic Shark 

Identification Workshop. However, if a 

dealer opts to send a proxy, the dealer 

must designate a proxy for each place of 

business covered by the dealer’s permit 

which first receives Atlantic sharks. 

Only one certificate will be issued to 

each proxy. A proxy must be a person 

who: is currently employed by a place 

of business covered by the dealer’s 

permit; is a primary participant in the 

identification, weighing, and/or first 

receipt of fish as they are offloaded from 

a vessel; and fills out dealer reports. 

Atlantic shark dealers are prohibited 

from renewing a Federal shark dealer 

permit unless a valid Atlantic Shark 

Identification Workshop certificate for 

each business location which first 

receives Atlantic sharks has been 

submitted with the permit renewal 

application. The certificate(s) are valid 

for three years. Additionally, trucks or 

other conveyances which are extensions 

of a dealer’s place of business must 

possess a copy of a valid dealer or proxy 

Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop 

certificate. Approximately 35 free 

Atlantic Shark Identification Workshops 

have been conducted since January 

2007.
