OMB Control Number: 0563–NEW. Summary of Collection: This collection is in support of a partnership agreement between the Risk Management Agency and the Rodale Institute, as authorized under section 522(d) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act. The agreement with the Rodale Institute will address the development and implementation of a price reporting system for producers of selected organic commodities. Since early 2003, the Rodale Institute has posted prices for around 40 organic products in a file called the ‘‘Organic Price Index’’. Need and Use of the Information: The price information will be collected weekly by e-mail, telephone, fax, and from Web sites in whatever form is customarily used by the distributor to post prices. The prices are collected from wholesale distributors, sales agencies, and cooperatives that specialize in the marketing of organic products. This information will be disseminated and posted on an existing Web site maintained by the Rodale Institute to assist organic producers and allied interests in price discovery. Fruit and vegetable prices have been collected from organic wholesalers operating in the vicinity of the Seattle and Boston wholesale produce markets. Prices of identical conventional products reported by Agricultural Marketing Service in these markets are also posted for comparison. As part of this project, prices will be collected for a wider array of organic products and in 13 additional market areas.

(See 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V, and final rule related notice published at 48 FR 29114, June 24, 1983.) This notice imposes no new reporting or recordkeeping provisions that are subject to Office of Management and Budget review in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507). This action is not a rule as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612) and thus is exempt from the provisions of that Act. This notice has been determined to be exempt under Executive Order 12866. National Average Minimum Value of Donated Foods for the Period July 1, 2006 Through June 30, 2007 This notice implements mandatory provisions of sections 6(c) and 17(h)(1)(B) of the National School Lunch Act (the Act) (42 U.S.C. 1755(c) and 1766(h)(1)(B)). Section 6(c)(1)(A) of the Act establishes the national average value of donated food assistance to be given to States for each lunch served in NSLP at 11.00 cents per meal. Pursuant to section 6(c)(1)(B), this amount is subject to annual adjustments on July 1 of each year to reflect changes in a three-month average value of the Price Index for Foods Used in Schools and Institutions for March, April, and May each year (Price Index). Section 17(h)(1)(B) of the Act provides that the same value of donated foods (or cash in lieu of donated foods) for school lunches shall also be established for lunches and suppers served in CACFP. Notice is hereby given that the national average minimum value of donated foods, or cash in lieu thereof, per lunch under NSLP (7 CFR Part 210) and per lunch and supper under CACFP (7 CFR Part 226) shall be 16.75 cents for the period July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007. The Price Index is computed using five major food components in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index (cereal and bakery products; meats, poultry and fish; dairy products; processed fruits and vegetables; and fats and oils). Each component is weighted using the relative weight as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The value of food assistance is adjusted each July 1 by the annual percentage change in a three-month average value of the Price Index for March, April and May each year. The three-month average of the Price Index decreased by 3.5 percent from 155.03 for March, April and May of 2005 to 149.56 for the same three months in 2006. When computed on the basis of unrounded data and rounded to the nearest one-quarter cent, the VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:41 Jul 14, 2006 Jkt 208001 resulting national average for the period July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007 will be 16.75 cents per meal. This is a decrease of 0.75 cents from the school year 2006 (July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006) rate.

SUMMARY: On May 11, 2006, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published the preliminary results of the antidumping (‘‘AD’’) administrative review of certain corrosion–resistant carbon steel flat products (‘‘CORE’’) from Japan. The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is August 1, 2004, through July 31, 2005.

This review covers imports of CORE from Kawasaki Steel Corporation (‘‘Kawasaki’’) and Nippon Steel Corporation (‘‘Nippon Steel’’). We have found that there were no entries of CORE produced by Kawasaki. Therefore, we are rescinding this review with respect to Kawasaki. Because Nippon Steel chose not to participate in this review, we are applying adverse facts available to Nippon Steel. The Department received no comments concerning our preliminary results; therefore, our final results remain unchanged from our preliminary results. The final results are listed in the section ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ below. EFFECTIVE DATE: July 17, 2006.
