OMB Number: 0560–NEW.
Type of Request: Request for Approval
of a New Information Collection.
Abstract: Dairy operations are eligible
to receive direct payments provided
they make certifications that attest to
their eligibility to receive such
payments. As appropriate, these
operations must certify, with respect to:
(1) The producers in the dairy operation
being associated with a dairy farm
operation physically located in a county
declared a disaster by the President of

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 16, 2005 / Notices
understand the dairy operation must
provide adequate proof of monthly milk
production commercially marketed by
all persons in the dairy operation during
the period specified by the Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC) to determine
the total pounds of eligible losses
incurred by the operation. The
information collection will be used by
CCC to determine the program eligibility
of the dairy operations. CCC considers
the information collected essential to
prudent eligibility determinations and
payment calculations. Additionally,
without accurate information on dairy
operations, the national payment rate
would be inaccurate, resulting in
payments being made to ineligible
recipients, and the integrity and
accuracy of the program could be
compromised.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 10 minutes per
response.
Respondents: Dairy Operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,000.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,115 hours.
Proposed topics for comment include:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of burden including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected; or
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of the information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

collection requirement may be directed

CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD
INVESTIGATION BOARD
Sunshine Act Meeting
In connection with its investigation
into three separate incidents at the
Honeywell International Inc. plant in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 2003, the
United States Chemical Safety and
Hazard Investigation Board (CSB)
announces that it will convene a public
meeting starting at 10 a.m. local time on
Wednesday, March 2, 2005, at the

Sfmt 4703
Holiday Inn Select, Executive Center,
4728 Constitution Avenue, Baton Rouge,
LA 70808, telephone (225) 925–2244.
On July 20, 2003, a release of chlorine
gas from the Honeywell plant resulted
in injuries to seven plant workers and
issuance of a shelter-in-place advisory
for residents within a half-mile radius.
On July 29, 2003, a one-ton cylinder at
the same plant released its contents to
the atmosphere, fatally injuring a plant
worker by exposure to toxic antimony
pentachloride. On August 13, 2003, two
workers at the plant were exposed to
toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF), and one of
them was hospitalized.
At the meeting CSB staff will present
the Board with the results of their
investigation into these three incidents,
including a discussion of key findings,
root and contributing causes, and
proposed recommendations. The CSB
staff presentation will focus on three
key safety issues: hazard awareness,
management of nonroutine situations,
and safe operating procedures.
After the staff presentation, the Board
will ask for public comments. Following
the conclusion of the public comment
period, the Board will consider whether
to approve the final report and
recommendations. All staff
presentations are preliminary and are
solely intended to allow the Board to
consider in a public forum the issues
and factors involved in this case. No
factual analyses, conclusions or findings
of the staff should be considered final.
Only after the Board has considered the
staff presentation and approved the staff
report will there be an approved final
record of this incident.
The meeting will be open to the
public, and there is no fee or preregistration required. Please notify CSB
if a translator or interpreter is needed,
at least 5 business days prior to the
public meeting. For more information,
please contact the Chemical Safety and
Hazard Investigation Board at (202)
