                Forest Service
                 Title: SF-299: Application for Transportation, Utility Systems,
                Telecommunication and Facilities on Federal Lands and Property.
                 OMB Control Number: 0596-NEW.
                 Summary of Collection: This information collection is used by the
                Forest Service to evaluate and ensure that authorized uses of National
                Forest System (NFS) lands are in the public interest and are compatible
                with the agency's mission. The information helps the agency identify
                environmental and social impacts of special uses for purposes of
                compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
                program administration. In addition, the agency uses the information to
                ascertain whether the land use fee being charged for special use
                authorizations is based on market value. The information is collected
                through application forms and terms and conditions in special use
                authorizations and operating plans. Ongoing uses must be monitored to
                ensure compliance with the terms of the corresponding authorizations.
                In certain situations, information from the authorization holder is the
                only way the Forest Service can verify compliance with the terms of an
                authorization.
                 Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is used
                to issue permits and leases, enforce compliance with agreements, and
                reports are generated to ensure fees are paid (Such as Recreation
                Residence Cabins) & to monitor growth of the Special Use Program, this
                helps with budget forecasting & program development.
