Download as PDF 51178 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 149 / Wednesday, August 3, 2016 / Notices of birth in this instance because it serves as a unique identifier if there should be an instance of two veterinarians signing in under the same first and last names, and as previously stated, we do not require the NAN because of problems arising when the veterinarian does not remember his or her NAN or records it incorrectly. As to the possible vulnerability to personal identity security, as described in the system of records notice referred to above, the system is physically secured in a locked facility with access only by authorized APHIS personnel. Data is stored and backed up using protocols established by the Fort Collins, CO, data center. Access to the records in the system is limited to those individuals who have a need to know the information for the performance of their official duties and who have appropriate clearances or permissions. Data available to individual users is role-based, which further limits access. Users must have USDA eAuthentication credentials and sign in using authorized logins and passwords. Employees who save spreadsheets containing data from the system are responsible for protecting the data. Files on employees’ computers are also protected by encryption software and login and password requirements. On an annual basis, all users are required to undergo information security training and to sign rules of behavior. Failure to comply with rules of behavior can result in corrective actions, including written reprimands, temporary suspension from duty, reassignment, demotion, or termination, suspension of system privileges, and possible criminal prosecution. Based on our proposal to alter the system of records and the reasons given in this document, the system will remain as proposed. Done in Washington, DC, this 27th day of July 2016. Kevin Shea, Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Dairy Tariff-rate Import Quota Licensing Program. OMB Number: 0551–0001. Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 2017.

The TRQs were established in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) as a result of the entry into force of certain provisions in the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Pub. L. 103–465) that converted existing absolute quotas to TRQs. Imports of nearly all cheeses made from cow’s milk (except soft-ripened cheese such as Brie) and certain non-cheese dairy products (including butter and dried milk) are subject to TRQs and the Regulation. Licenses are issued each quota year to eligible applicants and are valid for 12 months (January 1 through December 31). Only licensees may enter specified quantities of the subject dairy articles at the applicable in-quota tariffrates. Importers who do not hold licenses may enter dairy articles only at the over-quota tariff-rates. Each quota year, all applicants must submit form FAS 923 (rev. 7–96). This form, available online, requires applicants to: (1) Certify they are an importer, manufacturer or exporter of certain dairy products; (2) certify they meet the eligibility requirements of § 6.23 of the Regulation; and (3) submit documentation required by § 6.23 and § 6.24 as proof of eligibility for import licenses. Applicants for non-historical licenses must also submit form FAS 923–A (rev. 7–96) (cheese) and/or FAS 923–B (rev. 7–96) (non-cheese dairy products). This form requires applicants to request licenses in descending order of preference for specific products and countries listed on the form. After licenses are issued, § 6.26 requires licensees to surrender by October 1 on form FAS 924–A, License Surrender Form, any license amount that a licensee does not intend to enter that year. These amounts are reallocated, to the extent practicable, to existing licensees for the remainder of that year based on requests submitted on form FAS 924–B, Application for Additional License Amounts. Forms 924A and 924B require the licensee to complete a table listing the surrendered amount by license number, or listing the additional amounts requested by dairy article and supplying country in descending order of preference. The estimated total annual burden of 436 hours in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) inventory for the currently approved information collection will remain at 436 hours. The public reporting burden for this collection of currently approved forms FAS 923, FAS 923–A and 923–B (one form) (rev. 7–96) is estimated to average E:\FR\FM\03AUN1.SGM 03AUN1 asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 149 / Wednesday, August 3, 2016 / Notices 436 hours; and FAS 924–A and FAS 924–B (one form) is 23 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Dairy Tariff-rate Import Quota Licensing Program.
    OMB Number: 0551-0001.
    Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 2017.
    Type of Request: Extension and revision of a currently approved 
information collection.
    Abstract: The currently approved information collection supports 
the Dairy Tariff-rate Import Quota regulation (the Regulation) (7 CFR 
6.20-6.36) which governs the administration of the import licensing 
system applicable to most dairy products subject to tariff-rate quotas 
(TRQs). The TRQs were established in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 
the United States (HTS) as a result of the entry into force of certain 
provisions in the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Pub. L. 103-465) that 
converted existing absolute quotas to TRQs. Imports of nearly all 
cheeses made from cow's milk (except soft-ripened cheese such as Brie) 
and certain non-cheese dairy products (including butter and dried milk) 
are subject to TRQs and the Regulation. Licenses are issued each quota 
year to eligible applicants and are valid for 12 months (January 1 
through December 31). Only licensees may enter specified quantities of 
the subject dairy articles at the applicable in-quota tariff-rates. 
Importers who do not hold licenses may enter dairy articles only at the 
over-quota tariff-rates.
    Each quota year, all applicants must submit form FAS 923 (rev. 7-
96). This form, available online, requires applicants to: (1) Certify 
they are an importer, manufacturer or exporter of certain dairy 
products; (2) certify they meet the eligibility requirements of Sec.  
6.23 of the Regulation; and (3) submit documentation required by Sec.  
6.23 and Sec.  6.24 as proof of eligibility for import licenses. 
Applicants for non-historical licenses must also submit form FAS 923-A 
(rev. 7-96) (cheese) and/or FAS 923-B (rev. 7-96) (non-cheese dairy 
products). This form requires applicants to request licenses in 
descending order of preference for specific products and countries 
listed on the form.
    After licenses are issued, Sec.  6.26 requires licensees to 
surrender by October 1 on form FAS 924-A, License Surrender Form, any 
license amount that a licensee does not intend to enter that year. 
These amounts are reallocated, to the extent practicable, to existing 
licensees for the remainder of that year based on requests submitted on 
form FAS 924-B, Application for Additional License Amounts. Forms 924A 
and 924B require the licensee to complete a table listing the 
surrendered amount by license number, or listing the additional amounts 
requested by dairy article and supplying country in descending order of 
preference.
    The estimated total annual burden of 436 hours in the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) inventory for the currently approved 
information collection will remain at 436 hours. The public reporting 
burden for this collection of currently approved forms FAS 923, FAS 
923-A and 923-B (one form) (rev. 7-96) is estimated to average

dairy products, and exporters of non-cheese dairy products.

    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 436 hours.
