Description
The USDA Forest Service is seeking comments on the extension without revision of a currently approved information collection related to land exchanges. Land exchanges are voluntary real estate transactions between the Forest Service and non-Federal parties, including landowners, agents, brokers, or public agencies. The process involves executing an Agreement to Initiate and, upon approval, a binding Exchange Agreement detailing the terms and conditions of the exchange. The information collected is unique to each land exchange and is gathered through various communication methods by Forest Service personnel.
