Forest Service 

Title: Disposal of Mineral Materials. 

OMB Control Number: 0596–0081. 

Summary of Collection: The Forest 

Service (FS) is responsible for 

overseeing the management of National 

Forest System land. The Multiple-Use 

Mining Act of 1955 (30 U.S.C. 601, 603, 

611–615) gives the FS specific authority 

to manage the disposal of mineral 

materials mined from National Forest 

land. FS uses form FS–2800–9, 

‘‘Contract for the Sale of Mineral 

Materials’’ to collect detailed 

information on the planned mining and 

disposal operations as well as a contract 

for the sale of mineral materials. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Interested parties are asked to provide 

information that includes the 

purchaser’s name and address, the 

location and dimensions of the area to 

be mined, the kind and quantity of 

material to be mined, the sales price of 

the mined material, the payment 

schedule, amount of the bond, and the 

period of the contract. Collected 

information from the public will ensure 

that environmental impacts of mineral 

material disposal are minimized. A 

review of the operating plan provides 

the authorized officer the opportunity to 

determine if the proposed operation is 

appropriate and consistent with all 

applicable land management laws and 

regulations. The information also 

provides the means of documenting 

planned operations and the terms and 

conditions that the FS deems necessary 

to protect surface resources. A simple 

annual statement of production (amount 

of material removed) is also required of 

each purchaser or permittee. If FS did 

not collect this information, operations 

could cause undue damage to surface 

resources. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 2,617. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 6,543.
