System operation and
maintenance costs were undercounted in the previous collection
submission because the volunteer portal was not yet in operation
and because previously the OF 301 forms were managed by the Forest
Service; all numbers have been updated in this submission to align
with current actuals and projects.
The U.S. Forest Service currently manages the
OF 301 forms. This collection will bring the OF 301 forms to DOI
management for continued standardization of information collection
and to allow the future development of online collection of OF 301
forms via the volunteer portal. Department of Interior is making
the OF 301 forms a common form for use by the other public land
management agencies; other public land agencies will be able to
submit a request for common forms to OMB to utilize these
forms.
