SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Animal Welfare. OMB Number: 0579–0093. Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information collection. Abstract: The regulations in 9 CFR parts 1 through 3 were promulgated under the Animal Welfare Act (the Act) (7 U.S.C. 2131 et seq.) to ensure the humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of regulated animals under the Act. The Act and regulations are enforced by USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). The regulations in 9 CFR part 3, subparts A, D, and E cover dogs and cats, nonhuman primates, and marine mammals, respectively. Subparts B and C cover rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Subpart F of 9 CFR part 3 covers warmblooded animals other than dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, marine mammals, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Regulated facilities are required to keep certain records and provide specific information regarding space, transportation, exercise plan, and perimeter fence requirements. We review this information to evaluate program compliance. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements of 9 CFR part 3, subparts A, B, C, D, E, and F do not mandate the use of any official government form. We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve our use of these information collection activities for an additional 3 years. The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public (as well as affected agencies) concerning our information collection. These comments will help us: (1) Evaluate 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; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the information collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:14 Apr 27, 2006 Jkt 208001 (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the information collection on those who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic, mechanical, and other collection technologies, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Estimate of burden: The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.3228688 hours per response. Respondents: Dealers, exhibitors, research facilities, carriers, and intermediate handlers. Estimated annual number of respondents: 10,217. Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 14.198101. Estimated annual number of responses: 145,062. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 46,836 hours. (Due to averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per response.) All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record. Done in Washington, DC, this 24th day of April 2006. Elizabeth E. Gaston, Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. [FR Doc.

Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration Official Wet Gluten Determination for Hard Red Winter and Hard Red Spring Wheat Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, USDA. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is announcing its intent to provide official determination of wet gluten content for Hard Red Winter (HRW) wheat and Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat using a protein-based calibration on official near-infrared transmittance (NIRT) instruments. GIPSA will provide wet gluten content determination in hard red wheat as official criteria under the authority of the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA). DATES: Effective Date: May 1, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven N. Tanner, Director, Technical Services Division, GIPSA, USDA, 10383 N. Ambassador Drive, Kansas City, Missouri 64153; telephone (816) 891– 0401; fax (816) 891–0478. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Buyers of wheat often ask for analysis of functional characteristics of the commodity being purchased, seeking data on factors other than determined during official inspection, including gluten functionality. Gluten, the primary functional protein in wheat, is responsible for the unique ability of milled wheat to produce bread, pasta, and noodle products. To date, GIPSA’s official inspection system has not previously offered this information. Given industry interest in this factor, jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:14 Apr 27, 2006 Jkt 208001 GIPSA will now provide wet gluten determinations in hard red wheat. Wet gluten concentration is highly correlated to the total crude protein concentration of wheat. GIPSA utilized this correlation to develop a protein-based equation for predicting wet gluten content, on a 14 percent moisture basis, applicable to Hard Red Winter (HRW) wheat and Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat. GIPSA will implement the new wet gluten prediction equation on official NIRT instruments for hard red classes of wheat on May 1, 2006. The wet gluten test will be available upon request of an interested person, as official criteria for HRS and HRW wheat, under the authority of the USGSA, as amended. GIPSA believes offering this service will facilitate the marketing of wheat. Additional information will be posted on the GIPSA Web site at: https:// www.gipsa.usda.gov/.
