SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Secure Rural Schools Act.
OMB Number: 0596–0220.
Expiration Date of Approval: August
31, 2019.
Type of Request: Extension.
Abstract: The Secure Rural Schools
and Community Self-Determination Act
of 2000 (the Act) (16 U.S.C. 7101 et
seq.), as reauthorized in Public Law
115–141, requires the appropriate
official of a county that receives funds
under Title III of the Act to submit to
the appropriate Secretary an annual
certification that the funds expended
have been used as authorized.
The appropriate official of each
participating county will be requested to
report the amount of Title III funds
expended in the applicable year in these
categories as specified in the Act:
(1) To carry out authorized activities
under the Firewise Communities
Program;
(2) To reimburse the participating
county for search and rescue and other
emergency services, including
firefighting and law enforcement
patrols;
(3) To cover training costs and
equipment purchases directly related to
the emergency service described in
paragraph (2); and
(4) To develop and carry out
community wildfire protection plans.
The information collection will
identify the participating county, the
year in which the expenditures were
made, the name, title, and signature of
the certifying official; and the date of
the certification. The certification will
include a statement that all
expenditures were for uses authorized
under the Act and that the proposed
uses were published and had a 60-day
comment period and were submitted to
the appropriate Secure Rural Schools
Act resource advisory committee(s), if
any, as described in Section 302(b) of
the Act.

Beginning with the certification due
on February 1, 2019, the information
collection also will request the county
to certify the amount of Title III funds
received since October of 2008 that has
not been obligated as of September 30th
of the previous year. This collection is
necessary in the certification due on
February 1, 2022, to determine the
amount of Title III funds that must be
returned to the United States Treasury
under section 304(b) of the Act.
Collection of this information in 2019 is
consistent with a recent audit of county
uses of Title III funds by the
Government Accountability Office
(http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-12775). A county’s procedure for and
documentation of its obligation of Title
III funds should be consistent with its
procedures to obligate funds from other
Federal sources.
In summary, the February 1, 2019,
information collection will certify Title
III funds expended in calendar year
2018, and the amount of Title III funds
not obligated as of September 30, 2018.
The February 1, 2020, information
collection will certify Title III funds
expended in calendar year 2019 and the
amount of Title III funds not obligated
as of September 30, 2019.
The determination of who is the
appropriate certifying official is at the
discretion of the county and borough
and will vary depending on county or
borough organization. For unorganized
boroughs in Alaska and for participating
counties in Vermont, a state official may
provide the information.
The information will be collected in
the form of conventional
correspondence such as a letter and, at
the respondent’s option, attached tables
or similar graphic display. The Forest
Service provides an optional form for
the convenience of respondents. At the
respondent’s discretion, the information
may be submitted by hard copy and/or
electronically scanned and included as
an attachment to electronic mail.
Under the Act, the first response was
required by February 1, 2010 for funds
expended in 2009. Responses are
required by February 1st of the
following year each year Title III funds
are expended. The Act requires Title III
funds to be obligated by September 30,
2021, or be returned to the U.S.
Treasury; therefore, the funds are likely
to be expended or returned in 2021 and
the final certification of expenditures
could be made by February 1, 2022.
The Department of the Interior and
the Bureau of Land Management are
also authorized to participate in this
information collection because the
Bureau of Land Management
administers Federal lands in western

Oregon covered by the Act. The
information will be reviewed by the
appropriate Secretary, or designee, to
verify that participating counties have
certified that funds were expended as
authorized in the Act and to identify
amounts not obligated by September
30th of the previous year. The
information also may be used by the
Department of the Interior because it is
relevant to its Payments in Lieu of Taxes
(PILT) program.
Estimate of Annual Burden per
Respondent: The estimated time
required for each respondent to collect,
prepare and submit the information is
24 hours each year, including an
estimated 20 hours for collection and
four hours for preparation and
submission.
Type of Respondents: Respondents
are county officials.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 344 county officials are
expected to respond each year.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: The Act
requires only one response for each
participating county for each year
expenditures are made, except that
sixteen counties in western Oregon will
respond separately to the Department of
the Interior and the Department of
Agriculture.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: The estimated time
required for all respondents (344
counties) to collect, prepare, and submit
the information is 8,256 hours each
year.
Comment Is Invited
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical or
scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, 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

technology.

this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
request for Office of Management and
Budget approval.
