System Land Management.
OMB Control Number: 0596-0205.
Summary of Collection: The National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321-4347), the National Forest Management
Act of 1976, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1600) and the 2005 NFMA Planning
Guide (36 CFR, Part 219) give legal authority for information
collection in support of the forest plan revision process in the
Southwestern Region. The purpose of this survey is to provide
Southwestern Region natural forest land managers and planners with
scientifically credible information from a broad and diverse
representation of the public, as well as from specific stakeholder
groups.
Need and Use of the Information: Information collected will focus

provide a baseline from which to monitor national forest use and
management as affected by changes in social and economic conditions.
