information to RSPM 36 and the
development of annexes and appendices
for five additional seed commodities:
Tomato, pepper, spinach, lettuce, and
watermelon. They will also prepare a
comprehensive analysis and evaluation
of overall phytosanitary risk of seed that
is moved internationally, and prospects
for harmonization of seed phytosanitary
approaches among the NAPPO member
countries, as a NAPPO discussion
document.
14. Electronic Phytosanitary
Certification (E-phyto) Panel—The
panel conducted a regional workshop
on E-phyto in Costa Rica for Latin
American countries in 2013. Ongoing
E-phyto work is primarily conducted
through the IPPC; however, the NAPPO
Annual Symposium conducted in
conjunction with the Annual Meeting in
2014 will be focused on further
development of E-phyto internationally.
The PPQ Assistant Deputy
Administrator, as the official U.S.
delegate to NAPPO, intends to
participate in the adoption of these
regional plant health standards,
including the work described above,
once they are completed and ready for
such consideration.
The information in this notice
contains all the information available to
us on NAPPO standards currently under
development or consideration. For
updates on meeting times and for
information on the working panels that
may become available following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Employment and Training
Program Activity Report.
OMB Number: 0584–0339.
Expiration Date: June 30, 2014.
Type of Request: Extension without
revision of a currently approved
collection.
Abstract: 7 CFR 273.7(c)(9) requires
State agencies to submit quarterly E&T
Program Activity Reports containing
monthly figures for participation in the
program. FNS uses Form FNS–583, to
collect participation data. The
information collected on the FNS–583
report includes:
• On the first quarter report, the
number of work registrants receiving
SNAP as of October 1 of the new fiscal
year;
• On each quarterly report, by month,
the number of new work registrants; the
number of able-bodied adults without
dependents (ABAWDs) applicants and
recipients participating in qualifying
components; the number of all other
applicants and recipients (including
ABAWDs involved in non-qualifying
activities) participating in components;
and the number of ABAWDs exempt
under the State agency’s 15 percent
exemption allowance;
• On the fourth quarter report, the
total number of individuals who
participated in each component, which
is also sorted by ABAWD and nonABAWD participants and the number of
individuals who participated in the E&T
Program during the fiscal year.
7 CFR 273.7(d)(1)(i)(D) provides that
if a State agency will not expend all of
the funds allocated to it for a fiscal year,
FNS will reallocate unexpended funds
to other State agencies during the fiscal
year or the subsequent fiscal year as
FNS considers appropriate and
equitable. After FNS makes initial E&T
allocations, State agencies may request
more funds as needed. Typically FNS
receives fourteen such requests per year.
The time it takes to prepare these
requests is included in the burden. After
receiving the State requests, FNS will
reallocate unexpended funds as
provided above. The following is the
estimated burden for E&T reporting
including the burden for State agencies
to request additional funds.
