Download as PDF jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 221 / Friday, November 14, 2008 / Notices county FSA offices by contacting the nearest county FSA office, the State FSA office, or on FSA’s Web site at https:// www.fsa.usda.gov/pas/default.asp. From the options available on this Web page select ‘‘Contact Us’’ and locate the service center closest to you. Some county FSA offices service multiple counties. FSA will coordinate State and county FSA roles in conducting the Request for Referendum by (1) confirming producer eligibility, (2) canvassing and counting requests, and (3) reporting the results to AMS. Contract growers, who do not own, but do raise, provide care, and feed hogs and pigs for an owner, including a parent company, are allowed to participate in the Request for Referendum. For the producer not participating in FSA programs, the opportunity to participate will be provided at the County FSA office where the person owns or rents land. Importers will participate through USDA’s AMS headquarters office in Washington, DC. Importers may obtain Form LS–54–1 via mail, facsimile, or telephone from Kenneth R. Payne, Chief, Marketing Programs, Livestock and Seed Program, AMS, USDA, Room 2628–S, STOP 0251, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250– 0251; Telephone: 202–720–1115; Fax: (202) 720–1125; via e-mail at Kenneth.Payne@usda.gov; or on USDA’s Web site via the Internet at https:// www.ams.usda.gov/ LSMarketingPrograms. Importers must return Form LS 54–1 and supporting documentation such as Customs Form 7501, or any other supporting documentation to AMS by fax at (202) 720–1125, or in person no later than January 2, 2009. If returned by mail, form LS 54–1 and supporting documentation such as Customs Form 7501 must be postmarked by January 2, 2009. AMS strongly recommends that importers use a form of express mail service if returning forms via mail. AMS will determine importer eligibility. Comments: USDA received three comments in response to the Request for Referendum Notice published on May 23, 2008. As previously mentioned, the purpose of the Notice was to receive comments on the information collection of the described action. One comment supported the collection of information AMS will use in the Request for Referendum, specifically using sales receipts as proof of eligibility. However, one commenter supported this action but suggested that contract growers provide copies of their grower contracts and a cancelled check as proof of payment. AMS believes that this has merit. Thus, contract growers will be VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:29 Nov 13, 2008 Jkt 217001 required to provide their grower contract or cancelled check as proof of eligibility. This commenter also recommended that the only proof of eligibility that should be accepted for non-contract growers is a market sales receipt and opposed the use of feed and veterinary bills as proof of eligibility. One commenter supported this comment while noting that proof of the checkoff deduction is not always present on the bill of sale. However, AMS still concludes that copies of feed and veterinary bills dated during the representative period are adequate proof of producer eligibility. Consequently, AMS does not accept these comments. Several other comments provided by these commenters did not specifically address the information collection that was under consideration by AMS, and were therefore, not considered. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the information collection request for the Request for Referendum has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and assigned OMB control number OMB 0581–0249. Authority: 7 U.S.C. 4801–4811 and 7 U.S.C. 7401. Dated: November 7, 2008. James E. Link, Administrator. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice of final criteria, guidelines, and program implementation. AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:29 Nov 13, 2008 Jkt 217001 SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) is providing notification of final criteria and guidelines for American Indian Areas (AIAs) for the 2010 Census. Criteria are those rules and conditions that must be met when defining a geographic entity; guidelines are procedures and measures suggested by the Census Bureau to enhance the utility of statistical geographic areas for presentation and analysis of statistical data. AIAs are geographic entities within the United States defined for the collection, tabulation, and presentation of decennial census data for federally and/ or state-recognized American Indian tribes. AIAs will be used to collect, tabulate, and present data for the 2010 Census, period estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS), and potentially other Census Bureau statistical data. More specifically, for the 2010 Census, AIAs consist of the following types of geographic entities: • American Indian reservations (AIRs). • Off-reservation trust lands (ORTLs). • Oklahoma tribal statistical areas (OTSAs). • Tribal-designated statistical areas (TDSAs). • State-designated tribal statistical areas (SDTSAs). • Tribal census tracts (tribal tracts). • Tribal block groups. • Tribal subdivisions on AIRs, ORTLs, and OTSAs. • Census designated places (CDPs) on AIRs, ORTLs, and OTSAs. The geographic entities listed above include both legal and statistical geographic entities (see ‘‘Definitions of Key Terms’’ section). The Census Bureau is not proposing any new types of AIAs for the 2010 Census. In these final criteria, the Census Bureau announces the following changes for the 2010 Census: • Change the term ‘‘State-Designated American Indian Statistical Areas’’ (SDAISAs) to ‘‘State-Designated Tribal Statistical Areas’’ or SDTSAs. • Clarify the definition and purpose of OTSAs. In addition, because all former AIRs in Oklahoma were delineated as OTSAs for Census 2000, the Census Bureau is providing notification that no new OTSAs may be delineated for the 2010 Census, and to the extent possible, OTSA boundaries for the 2010 Census should be consistent with those defined for Census 2000. The Census Bureau also seeks to avoid defining joint use area OTSAs for the 2010 Census. • Clarify the definition, purpose, and the criteria and guidelines for TDSAs and SDTSAs. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 • Identify tribal tracts and tribal block groups as separate statistical geographic entities distinct from, and in addition to, ‘‘standard’’ county-based census tracts and block groups. The Census Bureau has three geographic partnership programs through which it collects updates to the inventory, boundaries, and attributes of AIAs for the 2010 Census: The annual Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS), the State Reservation Program, and the Tribal Statistical Areas Program (TSAP). Both the BAS and the State Reservation Program provide the process for reviewing and updating those AIAs that are legal geographic entities: AIRs and ORTLs under the governmental authority of federally recognized American Indian tribes, tribal subdivisions within these federally recognized AIRs and ORTLs, and AIRs for state-recognized American Indian tribes. The TSAP provides the process for reviewing and updating those AIAs that are statistical geographic entities: OTSAs, tribal subdivisions within OTSAs, TDSAs, SDTSAs, tribal tracts, tribal block groups, and CDPs. Each of these programs is discussed in more detail within the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this Federal Register Notice. This Notice announces the Census Bureau’s final criteria and guidelines for AIAs for the 2010 Census. In addition, this Notice contains a summary of comments received in response to the April 1, 2008, Federal Register (73 FR 17303), as well as the Census Bureau’s responses to these comments. The Census Bureau has considered all comments received regarding the new criteria and guidelines and will enact the proposed criteria and guidelines, unaltered from those presented in the Federal Register (73 FR 17303). For information regarding similar programs for Alaska Native Areas (ANAs), please refer to the Federal Register Notice titled ‘‘Alaska Native Areas (ANAs) for the 2010 Census— Final Criteria and Guidelines’’. DATES: Effective Date: This Notice’s final criteria and guidelines will be effective on November 14, 2008. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information on these criteria and guidelines should be directed to the Geographic Standards and Criteria Branch, Geography Division, U.S. Census Bureau, via e-mail at geo.tsap.list@census.gov, or telephone at 301–763–3056.
