APHIS and the facility must agree on all
parameters, such as time, routing, and
conveyance, by which the consignment
will move from the port of entry or
points of origin in the United States to
the treatment facility. If APHIS and the
facility cannot reach agreement in
advance on these parameters then no
consignments may be moved to that
facility until an agreement has been
reached.

Register (81 FR 14022) on March 16,
2016, regarding the Beef Promotion and
Research Order (Order) established
under the Beef Promotion and Research
Act of 1985 (Act). The proposed rule is
being withdrawn because of an error
noted in the formula determining the
assessment rate on imported veal
carcass weight and to provide the
calculation to establish the assessment
rate on importer veal and veal products.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
The Act authorized the establishment
of a national beef promotion and
research program. The final Order was
published in the Federal Register (51
FR 21632) on July 18, 1986, and the
collection of assessments began on
October 1, 1986. The program is
administered by the Cattlemen’s Beef
Promotion and Research Board,
appointed by the Secretary of
Agriculture from industry nominations,
and composed of 100 cattle producers
and importers. The program is funded
by a $1-per-head assessment on
producer marketing of cattle in the U.S.
and on imported cattle, as well as an
equivalent amount on imported beef
and beef products. The U.S. Customs
and Border Protection Service collects
assessments from importers.
On March 16, 2016, AMS published
in the Federal Register (81 FR 14022) a
proposed rule amending the Order
established under the Act to add
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)
codes for veal and veal products not
currently covered under the Order and
to update the carcass weight for
imported veal carcasses used to
determine the assessment rate for
imported veal and veal products.
Following publication, AMS
discovered an error in the carcass
weight of imported veal carcasses used
to determine the assessment rate for
imported veal and veal products. The
correct weight used to calculate the
assessment rate was published as 151
pounds, but the correct weight is 154
pounds. In addition, the industry
recently requested the formula for how
the assessment rate for imported veal
and veal products is calculated. As a
result of both the discovered error and
the industry request, AMS is
withdrawing the proposed rule and will
publish a new proposed rule with the
corrected carcass weight and formula.

Draft Environmental Assessment for
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,
‘‘Energy Conservation Standards for
Manufactured Housing’’ With Request
for Information on Impacts to Indoor
Air Quality
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for public comment, and request for
information.
AGENCY:
Section 413 of the Energy
Independence and Security Act of 2007
(EISA) directs the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) to establish energy
conservation standards for
manufactured housing. Section 413
further directs DOE to base its energy
conservation standards on the most
recent version of the International
Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and
any supplements to that document,
except where DOE finds that the IECC
is not cost effective or where a more
stringent standard would be more cost
effective, based on the impact of the
IECC on the purchase price of
manufactured housing and on total
lifecycle construction and operating
costs. On June 17, 2016, DOE published
a notice of proposed rulemaking in the
Federal Register pertaining to energy
efficiency for manufactured housing.
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, DOE Office of Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy (EERE) has
prepared a draft environmental
assessment (EA) to evaluate the
environmental impacts of this proposed
action. DOE is seeking public comment
on the environmental issues addressed
in the EA. In conjunction with issuance
of this draft EA for public review and
comment, DOE is issuing a request for
information that will help it analyze
potential impacts on indoor air quality
(IAQ) from the proposed energy
conservation standards, in particular
sealing manufactured homes tighter.
DATES: Comments regarding this draft
EA and/or information on IAQ must be
received on or before August 15, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to Roak Parker at U.S.
Department of Energy, 15013 Denver
West Parkway, Golden, CO 80401, or by
email at RulemakingEAs@ee.doe.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the draft environmental
assessment should be directed to Roak
