Section 843.309 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, regulates the payment of the basic employee death benefit. Under 5 U.S.C. 8442(b), the basic employee death benefit may be paid as a lump sum or as an equivalent benefit in 36 installments. These rules amend 5 CFR 843.309(b)(2) to conform the factor used to convert the lump sum to 36-installment payments with the revised economic assumptions. Section 843.311 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, regulates the benefits for the survivors of separated employees under 5 U.S.C. 8442(c). This section provides a choice of benefits for eligible current and former spouses. If the current or former spouse is the person entitled to the unexpended balance under the order of precedence under 5 U.S.C. 8424, he or she may elect to receive the unexpended balance instead of an annuity. Alternatively, an eligible current or former spouse may elect to receive an annuity commencing on the day after the employee’s death or on the deceased separated employee’s 62nd birthday. If the annuity commences on the deceased separated employee’s 62nd birthday, the annuity will equal 50 percent of the annuity that the separated employee would have received had he or she attained age 62. If the current or former spouse elects the earlier commencing date, the annuity is reduced using the factors in Appendix A to subpart C of part 843 to make the annuity actuarially equivalent to the present value of the annuity that the spouse or former spouse would have received if the annuity had commenced on the retiree’s 62nd birthday. These rules amend that appendix to conform to the revised economic assumptions.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: We are proposing to amend the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow the importation of fresh apples (Malus pumila) from China into the continental United States. As a condition of entry, apples from areas in China in which the Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) is not known to exist would have to be produced in accordance with a systems approach that would include requirements for registration of places of production and packinghouses, inspection for quarantine pests at set intervals by the national plant protection organization of China, bagging of fruit, safeguarding, labeling, and importation in commercial consignments. Apples from areas in China in which Oriental fruit fly is known to exist could be imported into the continental United States if, in addition to these requirements, the apples are treated with fumigation plus refrigeration. All apples from China would also be required to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that all conditions for the importation of the apples have been met and that the consignment of apples has been inspected and found free of quarantine pests. This action would allow for the importation of apples from China into the continental United States while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of quarantine pests.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The regulations in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–1 through 319.56–68, referred to below as the regulations) prohibit or restrict the importation of fruits and vegetables into the United States from certain parts of the world to prevent the introduction and dissemination of plant pests that are new to or not widely distributed within the United States. The national plant protection organization (NPPO) of China has requested that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) amend the regulations to allow apples (Malus pumila) from China to be imported into the continental United States. As part of our evaluation of China’s request, we have prepared a pest risk assessment (PRA), titled ‘‘Importation of Apples (Malus pumila) from China into the Continental United States’’ (June 10, 2013). The PRA evaluates the risks associated with the importation of apples into the continental United States from China. Copies of the PRA may be obtained by contacting the individual listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT or viewed on the Regulations.gov Web site (see ADDRESSES above for instructions for accessing Regulations.gov). The PRA identifies 21 pests of quarantine significance present in China that could be introduced into the continental United States through the importation of Chinese apples: • Adoxophyes orana (Fischer von ¨ Roslerstamm), summer fruit tortix. • Archips micaceana (Walker), a moth. • Argyrotaenia ljungiana (Thunberg), grape tortix. PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 • Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), Oriental fruit fly. • Carposina sasakii Matsumura, peach fruit moth. • Cenopalpus pulcher (Canestrini & Fanzago), flat scarlet mite. ` • Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Milliere), honeydew moth. • Cydia funebrana (Treitschke), plum fruit moth. • Euzophera bigella (Zeller), quince moth. • Euzophera pyriella Yang, a moth. • Grapholita inopinata Heinrich, Manchurian fruit moth. • Leucoptera malifoliella (Costa), apple leaf miner. • Monilia polystroma van Leeuwen, Asian brown rot. • Monilinia fructigena Honey, brown fruit rot. • Rhynchites auratus (Scopoli), apricot weevil. • Rhynchites bacchus (L.), peach weevil. • Rhynchites giganteus Krynicky, a weevil. • Rhynchites heros Roelofs, a weevil. • Spilonota albicana (Motschulsky), white fruit moth. • Spilonota prognathana Snellen, a moth. • Ulodemis trigrapha Meyrick, a moth. The PRA states that measures beyond standard port-of-entry inspection are required to mitigate the risks posed by these plant pests. After consideration of potential mitigation options, we have prepared a risk management document (RMD) to recommend specific measures to mitigate these risks. Copies of the RMD may be obtained from the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT or viewed on the Regulations.gov Web site. Based on the recommendations of the RMD, we are proposing to allow the importation of apples from China into the continental United States only if they are produced in accordance with a systems approach; we are proposing to add the systems approach to the regulations in a new § 319.56–69 governing the importation of apples from China. Proposed Systems Approach General Requirements Paragraph (a) of § 319.56–69 would set out general requirements for the NPPO of China and for growers and packers producing apples for export to the continental United States. Paragraph (a)(1) would require the NPPO of China to provide an operational workplan to APHIS that details the activities that the NPPO will, subject to APHIS’ approval of the workplan, carry out to meet the requirements of proposed § 319.56–69. As described in a notice we published on May 10, 2006, in the Federal Register (71 FR 27221–27224, Docket No. APHIS–2005–0085), an operational workplan is an agreement between E:\FR\FM\18JYP1.SGM 18JYP1

Federal Employees' Retirement System; Present Value Conversion 
Factors for Spouses of Deceased Separated Employees

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a proposed 
rule to revise the table of reduction factors for early commencing 
dates of survivor annuities for spouses of separated employees who die 
before the date on which they would be eligible for unreduced deferred 
annuities, and to revise the annuity factor for spouses of deceased 
employees who die in service when those spouses elect to receive the 
basic employee death benefit in 36 installments under the Federal 
Employees' Retirement System (FERS) Act of 1986. These rules are 
necessary to ensure that the tables conform to the economic and 
demographic assumptions adopted by the Board of Actuaries and published 
in the Federal Register on May 21, 2014, as required by 5 U.S.C. 
8461(i).

DATES: We must receive your comments by September 16, 2014.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and/or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 21, 2014, OPM published a notice in 
the Federal Register to revise the normal cost percentages under the 
Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS) Act of 1986, Public Law 99-
335, 100 Stat. 514, as amended, based on economic assumptions and 
demographic factors adopted by the Board of Actuaries of the Civil 
Service Retirement System. 79 Fed. Reg. 29,224 (May 21, 2014). By 
statute under 5 U.S.C. 8461(i), the demographic factors

[[Page 41929]]

and economic assumptions require corresponding changes in factors used 
to produce actuarially equivalent benefits when required by the FERS 
Act.
    Section 843.309 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, regulates 
the payment of the basic employee death benefit. Under 5 U.S.C. 
8442(b), the basic employee death benefit may be paid as a lump sum or 
as an equivalent benefit in 36 installments. These rules amend 5 CFR 
843.309(b)(2) to conform the factor used to convert the lump sum to 36-
installment payments with the revised economic assumptions.
    Section 843.311 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, regulates 
the benefits for the survivors of separated employees under 5 U.S.C. 
8442(c). This section provides a choice of benefits for eligible 
current and former spouses. If the current or former spouse is the 
person entitled to the unexpended balance under the order of precedence 
under 5 U.S.C. 8424, he or she may elect to receive the unexpended 
balance instead of an annuity.
    Alternatively, an eligible current or former spouse may elect to 
receive an annuity commencing on the day after the employee's death or 
on the deceased separated employee's 62nd birthday. If the annuity 
commences on the deceased separated employee's 62nd birthday, the 
annuity will equal 50 percent of the annuity that the separated 
employee would have received had he or she attained age 62. If the 
current or former spouse elects the earlier commencing date, the 
annuity is reduced using the factors in Appendix A to subpart C of part 
843 to make the annuity actuarially equivalent to the present value of 
the annuity that the spouse or former spouse would have received if the 
annuity had commenced on the retiree's 62nd birthday. These rules amend 
that appendix to conform to the revised economic assumptions.

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Review

    This rule has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget 
in accordance with Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, as amended by E.O. 
13258 and E.O. 13422.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    I certify that this regulation will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities because the regulation 
will only affect retirement payments to surviving current and former 
spouses of former employees and Members who separated from Federal 
service with title to a deferred annuity.
