Final Directives That Have Been Issued
Since April 1, 2022
1. FSM 2710, Special Use
Authorizations, and FSH 2709.11,
Special Uses Handbook, Chapter 50,
Standard Forms and Supplemental
Clauses. The Forest Service published
final directives related to the storage
and use of explosives authorized by
special use authorizations. Some special
use permit holders use various types of
explosives and sometimes military
munitions for avalanche mitigation, tree
and rock removal, road construction,
maintenance, and other construction
projects. Holders of ski area permits and
state transportation authorities maintain
additional magazines for these
purposes.
The final directives clarify the role
and jurisdiction of the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives (ATF), the Department of the
Army, states, and the Forest Service
over explosives use and storage when
authorized on National Forest System
lands, including explosives magazine
security. These directives provide that
special use authorization holders that
are authorized to store and use

explosives must comply with all ATF
regulations, state and Army
requirements, if applicable, and Forest
Service requirements. The directives
make compliance with the special use
authorization contingent upon
continued compliance with these
requirements. The directives provide for
training of permit administrators to
ensure that they can effectively monitor
the requirements of a holder’s operating
plan, including required magazine
security provisions. The 60-day
comment period for this directive began
June 23, 2020, and closed August 22,
2020. Five public comments were
received on the proposed directives,
which can be viewed at https://
cara.fs2c.usda.gov/Public/

final directives were issued May 12,
2022, and can be viewed at https://

wo_2710_Amend-2022-2.docx.
2. FSM 7700, Travel Management,
Chapters Zero and 10, Travel Planning.
The Forest Service has issued final
directives that clarify how electric
bicycles (e-bikes) are managed on
National Forest System lands. The
directives add a definition of e-bikes as
a class of motor vehicle, including
separate definitions for Class 1, 2 and 3
e-bikes; establish criteria for
consideration in designating National
Forest System roads, National Forest
System trails, and areas on National
Forest System lands for e-bike use that
are not currently designated for motor
vehicle use; update the definition of
‘‘bicycle,’’ and align Forest Service
directives with regulations promulgated
by the U.S. Department of the Interior
bureaus by adding e-bike definitions
and requiring site-specific decisionmaking and environmental analysis.
The 30-day comment period for these
directives began September 24, 2020,
and closed October 26, 2020. Over 9,140
public comments were received on the
proposed directives, which can be
viewed at https://cara.fs2c.usda.gov/
Public/ReadingRoom?project=ORMS2619. Approximately 6,020 were unique
letters; only five percent included
substantive comments. The final
directives provide for managing all
classes of e-bikes as motor vehicles and
require local-level decision-making and
environmental analysis to allow use of
e-bikes on non-motorized trails,
consistent with the Forest Service’s
Travel Management Rule. The final
directives were issued March 31, 2022,
and can be viewed at https://

implementing provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104–13) requires that interested
members of the public and affected
agencies have an opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)). This notice identifies the
following information collection that
Rural Utilities Service is submitting to
OMB as extension to an existing
collection with Agency adjustment.
Title: 7 CFR part 1730, Review Rating
Summary, RUS Form 300.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0025.
Expiration Date of Approval:
November 30, 2022.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
for this collection of information is
estimated to average 6 hours per
response.
Respondents: Not-for-profit
institutions and other businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
151.

Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service
(RUS) manages loan programs in
accordance with the RE Act of 1936, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.). An
important part of safeguarding loan
security is to see that RUS financed
facilities are being responsibly used,
adequately operated, and adequately
maintained. Future needs must be
anticipated to ensure that facilities will
continue to produce revenue and loans
will be repaid as required by the RUS
mortgage. A periodic operations and
maintenance (O&M) review, using the
RUS Form 300, in accordance with 7
CFR part 1730, is an effective means for
RUS to determine whether the
Borrower’s systems are being properly
operated and maintained, thereby
protecting the loan collateral. The O&M
review is also used to rate facilities and
can be used for appraisals of collateral
as prescribed by OMB Circular A–129,
Policies for Federal Credit Programs and
Non-Taxable Receivables.
The loans and loan guarantees finance
the construction of electric distribution,
transmission, and generation facilities,
including system improvements and
replacement required to furnish and
improve electric service in rural areas,
as well as demand side management,
energy efficiency and conservation
programs, and on-grid and off-grid
renewable energy systems. Loans are

made to cooperatives as well as to
corporations, states, territories and
subdivisions and agencies such as
municipalities, people’s utility districts,
and nonprofit, limited dividend or
mutual associations that provide retail
electric service needs to rural areas or
supply the power needs of distribution
borrowers in rural areas.
Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility.
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used.
(c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. All responses to this notice
will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
Copies of this information collection
can be obtained from Arlette
Mussington, Rural Development
Innovation Center—Regulations
Management Division, at (202) 720–
2825. Email: arlette.mussington@
usda.gov.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
