5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1) requires agencies to both seek public comment in the
form of a Federal Register notice and "otherwise consult with
members of the public and affected agencies". This information
collection request technically complied with the regulation;
however, only three respondents were contacted regarding a total of
two forms. When renewed, the US Forest Service must consult with no
less than three individuals on any and all forms and component
collectons of information associated with 10,000 or more burden
hours. Any relevant comments must be included in the supporting
statement along with the program's response.
