Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 208 / Tuesday, October 28, 2014 / Notices
increases in the cost to farmers renting
them for pollination services. USDA and
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), in consultation with other
relevant Federal partners, are scaling up
efforts to address the decline of
honeybee health with a goal of ensuring
the recovery of this critical subset of
pollinators. NASS supports this USDA–
EPA CCD National Action Plan, which
emphasizes the importance of
coordinated action to identify the extent
and causal factors in honeybee and
pollinator declines.
To efficiently collect critical
information on the status and health of
the commercial honeybee population,
NASS proposes two new surveys that
complement its existing Bee and Honey
Inquiry (0535–0153), which targets bee
keepers with 5 or more colonies. The
Colony Loss Quarterly Survey will be
administered quarterly to a subsample
of bee keepers responding to the annual
Bee and Honey Inquiry. The Colony
Loss Annual Survey will be
administered to bee keepers with fewer
than 5 colonies; these respondents will
be asked to report quarterly honeybee
colony losses on an annual basis.
Together, these surveys will yield the
number of honeybee colonies that are
comparable in methodology to the
Census of Agriculture counts (which is
available only every 5 years). The data
collected will include state of colony
residence, the commercial movement of
colonies between states, newly added or
replacement colonies, colony losses,
and presence of colony stress factors,
such as pests or parasites.
The Colony Loss Surveys are strongly
encouraged by beekeepers, the National
Academy of Sciences, and the USDA
Office of the Inspector General. This
action will provide an improved
baseline, annual, and quarterly data to
describe any loss or change in the
number of colonies and issues and
practices which may be associated with
colony stress and decline.
NASS is committed to collaborating
with USDA and the other departments
on a unified and complementary
approach to develop and support the
Pollinator Health Initiative. This will
allow NASS and its collaborators to
address critical information needs at an
accelerated pace and guide honeybee
management at a national scale.
Authority: These data will be collected
under the authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204(a).
Individually identifiable data collected under
this authority are governed by Section 1770
of the Food Security Act of 1985 as amended,
7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires USDA to afford
strict confidentiality to non-aggregated data
provided by respondents. This Notice is
submitted in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–113) and
the Office of Management and Budget
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.
NASS also complies with OMB
Implementation Guidance,
‘‘Implementation Guidance for Title V
of the E-Government Act, Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA),’’
Federal Register, Vol. 72, No. 115, June
15, 2007, p. 33376.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 10 minutes per
response. Publicity materials and
instruction sheet will account for 5
minutes of additional burden per
respondent. Respondents who refuse to
complete a survey will be allotted 2
minutes of burden per attempt to collect
the data. NASS plans to conduct two
different surveys as a part of this
approval request. Once a year, NASS
will contact approximately 20,000 small
bee operations (fewer than 5 colonies).
Approximately 3,300 operations with 5
or more bee colonies will be contacted
quarterly to collect bee loss data. NASS
will conduct the surveys initially using
a mail and internet approach. This will
be followed up with phone and personal
enumeration for non-respondents.
NASS will attempt to obtain an 80%
response rate.
Respondents: Farmers and
beekeepers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
23,300.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: With an estimated
response rate of approximately 80%, we
estimate the burden to be 7,020 hours.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, technological or
other forms of information technology
collection methods.
All responses to this notice will
become a matter of public record and be
summarized in the request for OMB
approval.
Signed at Washington, DC, October 15,
2014.

Associate Administrator.

Administration (EDA) has received
petitions for certification of eligibility to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
from the firms listed below.
Accordingly, EDA has initiated
investigations to determine whether
increased imports into the United States
of articles like or directly competitive

decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.
