SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Title: Storage and Use of Explosives
and Magazine Security on National
Forest System Lands Under a Special
Use Authorization.
OMB Number: 0596–NEW.
Type of Request: New.
Abstract: Existing directives in the
Forest Service Manual and Handbook
are being revised to improve security
and administration of explosive
magazines and explosives use that are
authorized under a special use
authorization. The revisions clarify that
all non-Forest Service storage and use of
explosives, including use and storage of
military weapons and ammunition for
purposes of avalanche mitigation on
National Forest System lands, must be
authorized by a special use
authorization that contains clause B–29
in Forest Service Handbook 2709.11,
Chapter 50, section 52.2, on storage and
use of explosives and magazine security.
Clause B–29 requires authorization
holders to comply with applicable
United States Department of Justice,
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives, state, or Department of
the Army requirements and applicable
Forest Service requirements.
To allow the Forest Service to monitor
holder compliance with clause B–29,
the revised directives require holders of
an authorization containing the clause
to submit certain documentation
annually as part of their operating plan.
The required documentation includes
copies of a log containing the date and
type of magazine inspections (including
inspections required every seven days)
and the date all deficiencies identified
in any magazine inspection report were
corrected; copies of any magazine
inspection reports; a copy of the
holder’s current ATF-issued federal
explosives license or federal explosives
permit, if applicable; and a copy of a log
containing the date of the most recent
magazine lock and key replacement.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 10
minutes.
Type of Respondents: Holders of a
special use authorization authorizing
the storage and use of explosives.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 60.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 10 hours.
Comment is invited on (1) whether
this collection of information is
necessary for the stated purposes and
the proper performance of the functions
of the Agency, including whether the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
A. Background
The granting of specific authority to
conduct the program is found in Title
13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section
161, which authorizes and requires the
Census of Governments. Section 161 of
the statute directs the Secretary of
Commerce to ‘‘. . .take, compile, and
publish for the year 1957 and for every
fifth year thereafter a census of
governments. Each such census shall
include, but shall not be limited to, data
on taxes and tax valuations,
governmental receipts, expenditures,
indebtedness, and employees of states,
counties, cities, and other governmental
units.’’
This notice announces that the
Census Bureau is preparing to conduct
the 2022 Census of Governments. The
Census of Governments is the U.S.
government’s official 5-year measure of
state and local governments, and has
been taken periodically since 1957. The
Census of Governments is the most
comprehensive source of information
about state and local governments from
the national to the local level. These
Census of Governments data products
provide unique basic measures for U.S.
state and local governments. Data
include details on debt and assets, as
well as revenues and expenditures and
employment by government function.
Published data cover approximately
90,000 state and local governments that
includes approximately 3,000 counties
and 35,000 cities and towns, 13,000
independent school districts, and
39,000 special districts. The Census of
Governments is the most
comprehensive, comparable, and
precise source of uniform statistics on
economic activity of state and local
Governments. It provides detailed, high
quality, and authoritative statistics that
meet the needs of government,
businesses, policymakers, academic
researchers, and the American public.
The program’s data products provide
essential information to Congress and
federal agencies for planning and
evaluating intergovernmental programs.
Moreover, they provide the official
measures of output for state and local
governments and serve much of the
foundation for the National Income and
Product Accounts, Gross Domestic
Product estimates, and other composite
measures of the Nation’s economic
performance. These data provide
benchmarks for other federal statistical
series, including current surveys, such
as the Justice Assistance Data Survey
and Quarterly Summary of State and
Local Government Tax Revenue,
conducted by the Census Bureau.
Census of Governments data are also
used by business organizations and
economic development agencies to
provide insight into the complex nature
and fiscal health of state and local
government finances.
B. Data Collection
The 2022 Census of Governments will
be conducted by electronic collection
(99 percent internet Collection). The
electronic instrument, Centurion,
provides improved quality with
automatic data checks, and is context-
sensitive to assist the data provider in
identifying potential reporting problems
before submission, thus reducing the
need for follow-up. Centurion is
internet-based, eliminating the need for
downloading software and increasing
the integrity and confidentiality of the
data. The Census Bureau will furnish
usernames and passwords for the
electronic instrument to the
organizations included in the survey.
The Census Bureau also collects
electronic data files through
arrangements with state governments or
customized electronic reporting
instruments with state and local
governments, and central collection
arrangements with local governments.
C. Census of Governments Content
The 2017 Census of Governments
forms are available on https://
census.gov/govs. This web page
includes links to each respective
survey’s page, where the survey forms
can be found under the tab,
‘‘Information for Respondents.’’ Please
take a moment to review the forms
relevant to your interests and provide us
with your comments for consideration
as we prepare content for the 2022
questionnaires. We are particularly
interested in comments on the
usefulness of existing inquiries for
continued inclusion and in suggestions
for new measures that would be
appropriate to include in the Census of
Governments.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) unless that
collection of information displays a
current valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number. The
Census Bureau, through the proper
established procedures, will be
obtaining an OMB control number
under the PRA as we get closer to
launching this component in 2022.

Bureau of the Census, approved the
