The information to be collected is
necessary to comply with Forest Service regulations and to ensure
the protection of National Forest System lands during the disposal
of mineral materials.
The Forest Service 2005 Mineral
Materials Production Report indicates an increase in the number of
respondents since 2003. For this reason, the agency revised the
estimate of annual respondents from 6,000 to 8,400. This results in
increased estimates of the total annual time and cost burdens, but
there is no change to the estimate time and cost per
respondent.
