DATE: September 14, 2010 FROM: George Kolb, County Engineer Road 541-322-7113 TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2010-624, Acceptance of a Public Road Easement on Deschutes Markert Road from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (USFS) PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? NO. BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: The USFS is in the process of relocating their Forest Headquarters on the old Pine Nursery property located off of Deschutes Market Road. As a result of the increased traffic generated by the new headquarters building, the USFS is required to build a left turn lane on Deschutes Market Road. The existing 60 foot wide right-of-way is not sufficient for the construction of the turn lane so the USFS is dedicating an additional 10 feet of right-of-way along the east boundary of their property. This dedication will allow them to construct the necessary improvements without affecting the privately owned properties on the east side of Deschutes Market Road. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None - all design and costruction of the turn lane is being financed by the USFS. The Road Department will inspect the improvements and will be paid for the inspection services by the USFS. RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED: Suggested motion: move Board signature of Document No. 2010-624.

The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0596- 0082. This information is needed by the Forest Service to evaluate requests to use National Forest System lands and manage those lands to protect natural resources, administer the use, and ensure public health and safety. This information is required to obtain or retain a benefit. The authority for that requirement is provided by the Organic Act of 1897 and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, which authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to promulgate rules and regulations for authorizing and managing National Forest System lands. These statutes, along with the Term Permit Act, National Forest Ski Area Permit Act, Granger-Thye Act, Mineral Leasing Act, Alaska Term Permit Act, Act of September 3, 1954, Wilderness Act, National Forest Roads and Trails Act, Act of November 16, 1973, Archeological Resources Protection Act, and Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to issue authorizations for the use and occupancy of National Forest System lands. The Secretary of Agriculture's regulations at 38 CFR Part 251, Subpart B, establish procedures for issuing those authorizations. The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) and the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) govern the confidentiality to be provided for information received by the Forest Service. Public reporting burden for this collection of infomiation, if requested, is estimated to average 1 hour per response for annual financial information; average 1 hour per response to prepare or update operation and/or maintenance plan; average 1 hour per response for inspection reports; and an average of 1 hour for each request that may include such things as reports, logs, facility and user information, sublease information, and other similar miscellaneous information requests. This includes the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Page 6 of 6
