under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments

including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden 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 those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,

and other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by October 
22, 2018 will be considered. Written comments should be addressed to: 
Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), New Executive Office 
Building, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503. Commentors are 
encouraged to submit their comments to OMB via email to: 
OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov or fax (202) 395-5806 and to Departmental 
Clearance Office, USDA, OCIO, Mail Stop 7602, Washington, DC 20250-
7602. Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-
8681.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

a currently valid OMB control number.

Forest Service

    Title: Grazing Permit Administration Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0003.
    Summary of Collection: Annually, livestock grazing occurs on 
approximately 94 million acres of National Forest Service (NFS) lands. 
This grazing is subject to authorization and administrative oversight 
by the Forest Service (FS). The information is required for the 
issuance and administration of grazing permits, including fee 
collections, on NFS land as authorized by the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act 1976, as amended, and subsequent Secretary of 
Agriculture Regulation 5 U.S.C. 301, 36 CFR 222, subparts A and C. The 
bills for collection of grazing fees are based on the number of 
domestic livestock grazed on national forest lands and are a direct 
result of issuance of the grazing permit. Information must be collected 
on an individual basis and is collected through the permit issuance and 
administration process. FS will collect information using several 
forms.
    Need and Use of the Information: FS will use the information 
collected on the forms to acquire data from applicants applying for new 
grazing permits or making changes to their current grazing permit(s). 
FS also uses the information collected in administering the grazing use 
program on NFS land. If information were not collected it would be 
impossible for the agency to administer a grazing use program in 
accordance with the statutes and regulations.
    Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit; 
Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 1,290.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually; Other (as needed 
basis).
    Total Burden Hours: 504.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
