    Comments regarding this information collection received by December

Forest Service

    Title: Southwestern Crown Collaborative Forest Management Social 
Monitoring.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-NEW.
    Summary of Collection: The Forest Landscape Restoration Act (FLRA) 
of 2009 (16 U.S.C. 7303), which enables the Collaborative Forest 
Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP), requires monitoring ``to assess 
the positive or negative ecological, social, and economic effects of 
projects implementing a selected proposal for not less than 15 years 
after project

[[Page 50609]]

implementation commences.'' The CFLRP program started in 2010 to 
encourage collaborative groups of neighboring landowners, state, local 
and tribal government representatives, businesses, interest groups, and 
nonprofit organizations, to work with the Forest Service (FS) to find 
common ground pertaining to geographically extensive forest 
restoration.
    Need and Use of the Information: Respondents will be given the 
option of completing an online version of the monitoring instrument or 
of completing a paper version. The collection of information will allow 
FS to meet its obligations under the CFLRP to monitor social impacts 
and to provide feedback to FS managers about activities, including the 
decisions making processes, conducted under the CFLRP. Without the 
collection of information, the FS will be unable to determine whether 
it is meeting the requirements of the Forest Landscape Restoration Act, 
nor if they are fully incorporating partner and public input into 
forest project, implementation, monitoring and/or planning processes as 
required by law.
    Description of Respondents: Residents within the Southwestern Crown 
CFLRP Landscape and Southwestern Crown Collaborative participants.
    Number of Respondents: 2,330.
