Title: COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF TIMBER PURCHASERS' COST AND SALES DATA
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 03/28/1990
	Date Received in OIRA: 12/29/1989
Terms of Clearance: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320, this information collection is approved through September 31, 1990. We have approved this collection for six months in order to allow time for ongoing consultation with the Forest Service regarding the long term practical utility of this information collection while at the same time avoiding disruption of the Agency's ongoing activities. When the Forest Service resubmits this information collection for OMB review we suggest the Service address the following issues: (1) Could the Forest Service assess the fair market value and establish minimum timber stumpage value using less burdensome approaches such as Transaction Evidence Appraisal or residual value appraisal based on statistical sampling combined with randon audits of individual timber firms? (2) Establishing a consistent analytic methodology for estimating the fair market value of timber and setting the minimum stumpage value across all of the Nation's National Forest regions. We look forward to meeting with the Forest Service to discuss these issues.
