and pork products and to account for
the return of the declaration of
importation to APHIS from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection. We
have adjusted the estimates of burden
accordingly.
We are asking OMB to approve our
use of these information collection
activities for an additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning this
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 1
hour per response.
Respondents: Foreign government
animal health officials.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 21.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 20,951.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 439,976.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 440,374 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 8th day of
June 2016.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice invites the general public and
other public agencies to comment on
this proposed information collection.
This collection is a new collection for
assisting state agencies to record, track
and manage the required training hours
in four major areas (Nutrition,
Operations, Administration,
Communications and Marketing) to
meet the requirements of the Healthy
Hunger Free Kids Act (HHFKA) of 2010
Professional Standards Rule. The
HHFKA (section 306) requires
Professional Standards for state and
local school district nutrition
professionals. In addition to hiring
standards, mandatory annual training
will be required for all individuals
involved in preparing school meals. To
meet the training requirements and
assist in keeping track of training
courses, FNS is developing a web-based
application tool with a SQL-server
database which will be made available
to local educational agencies and school
food authorities through the FNS public
Web site. While training requirements
are mandatory, using the USDA
Tracking Tool is voluntary. School
nutrition professionals can use any
method to track and manage their
trainings. These resources will facilitate
compliance with HHFKA requirements
and will be provided at no cost to the
state, district, or individuals.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before August 15, 2016.
ADDRESSES: 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 shall 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 that
were 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, including use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
