Title: FOREST INDUSTRIES SCHEDULES
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved and continue	Conclusion Date: 08/10/1989
	Date Received in OIRA: 05/17/1989
Terms of Clearance: Disapproved and continued. The proposed collection is not the least burdensome necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions as required by part 1320.4 (b) of the OMB regulations implementing the Paperwork Reduction Act. The clarity of the current form can be increased significantly for 1989 and subsequent tax years for all filers who may use it and filing for owners of small woodlots can be simplified through reorganization of the current form or throug development of a separate form. Specific items identified for clarification on the revised form include: 1) 12 and 27, whether one item can be eliminated, 2) 16, the interpretation of other considerations, 3) 19, an instruction that only (d) should be filled for "sales of timber only," 4) 13, should be deleted for small sales, and 5) 19, clarification should be provided to indicate that information for adjusted cost is for sales within the tax year. In addition, the Department has agreed to delete item 50 (a) describin the log transportation system and suggesting the inclusion of maps. OMB action on this review reflects the need for updating this collection requirement in response to changes in the structure of the lumber industry. The Department should request by an Inventory Correction Worksheet an extension of the expiration date to provide adequate time for preparation of a revised submission.
