pesticides. The Forest Service currently uses form FS21002, Pesticide-Use Proposal PUP internally to collect and review pesticide-applications intended to control pests of grasslands and forests under its administrative responsibility under FSM 2150, and FSH 2109.14.
The Forest Service anticipates requests from outside entities for application of pesticides upon Forest Service administered lands within rights-of-way easements, permitted lands, and under similar circumstances.
The Forest Service proposes to use the PUP form to collect pesticide project information from those outside entities to facilitate authorization of selected activities. Completion of the PUP form includes identification of pests to be controlled, pesticide to be applied, and other regulatory compliance information such as use of certified applicators.
Because diverse pesticide-use projects are designed for local conditions, it is appropriate for the PUP form to be used to ensure that essential details are uniformly assembled for review.
Proposals will be evaluated by Forest Service pesticide use coordinators and other administrative personnel to safeguard human health and ecological protection consistent with Forest Service land use management programs.
Form and instructions will be posted on a Forest Service website for ready public availability.
Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Businesses and Organizations, and State, Local or Tribal Governments responsible for pest control, including vegetation management along rights-of-way, upon lands administered by the Forest Service.
Estimate of Burden per Response: 12
hours.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 36.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 50.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 600 hours.

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4 ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or
