🇬🇧 English

The U.S. Forest Service has issued a notice under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 seeking public comments on the extension of an existing, previously approved information collection program. The program covers data collection systems for forest industries and logging operations across the United States. The extension is requested with no revisions to the current information collection, meaning the scope, methodology, and burden on respondents remain unchanged from the previously approved version. The public comment period is intended to allow interested individuals and organizations to weigh in on the necessity, utility, and burden of the data collection. This type of notice is a routine administrative step required by federal law before any information collection can be renewed. It does not introduce new regulatory requirements or substantive policy changes for the forest or logging industries.
