Information Collections Submitted to the Office of Management and 
Budget for Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act

    The proposal for collection of information listed below has been 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for approval under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). An 
expedited review has been requested in accordance with the Act, since 
allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect the public 
interest for the reasons given below. Approval has been requested by 
May 1, 1995. Comments and suggestions on the proposal should be made 
directly to the bureau clearance officer and to the Office of 
Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (1004-0011), 
Washington, D.C. 20503, telephone [phone].

Title: Jobs-in-the-Woods Employment Evaluation
OMB approval number:
Abstract: Four items of information will be requested in each Jobs-in-
the-Woods contract issued, for the contractor to respond to at the 
close of the contract:
    (1) Number of workers employed on the contract including managers, 
supervisors and support.
    (2) Number of days these workers worked on the contract (total 
based on an eight hour work day).
    (3) Total amount of wages and benefits paid to these workers.
    (4) Number of workers, if any, considered to be displaced timber 
workers.

    The information collected will be used by Federal land management 
agencies, Department-level officials in the Departments of Agriculture 
and Interior, White House officials, and Congress to gauge the 
effectiveness in achieving the intent of Federal appropriations for the 
Jobs-in-the-Woods program. The consequence of not having the 
information is that the outcome of the Jobs-in-the-Woods program will 
remain unknown and speculative. Adjustments to the program cannot be 
knowledgeably made in the absence of this information.

Reason for expedited review: To be able to include the contract clause 
into all Jobs-in-the-Woods contracts beginning in Fiscal Year 1995.
Bureau form number: Not applicable
Frequency: Once
Description of respondents: Businesses awarded Jobs-in-the-Woods 
contracts under the President's Northwest Economic Adjustment 
Initiative.
Estimated completion time: One half hour
Annual responses: 400
Annual burden hours: 200
