Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Animal Disease Traceability.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0327.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C.
8301–8317) is the primary Federal law
governing the protection of animal
health. The law gives the Secretary of
Agriculture broad authority to detect,
control, or eradicate pests or diseases of
livestock or poultry. As part of its
ongoing efforts to safeguard animal
health, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) developed
the Animal Disease Traceability (ADT)
framework which continues to be a
partnership involving APHIS, States,
Tribes, and industry to provide a system

Jkt 244001
for animal traceability. Traceability
helps document the movement history
of an animal throughout its life,
including during an emergency
response or for ongoing animal disease
programs.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS uses information provided by
businesses, States, and Tribal Nations to
facilitate animal disease traceability and
support disease control, eradication,
and surveillance activities. Some of the
information collection activities
include: Applications for use of more
than official identification device;
applications for and approval of tagging
sites; evaluation of States and Tribes;
documentation of completion of
performance measures; commuter herd
agreements; collection of identification
devices at slaughter; obtaining official
eartags; application of State shields;
official identification device
distribution records; certification of
veterinary inspection; unauthorized
removal or loss of official identification
devices; reporting retagging animal
records; premises identification and
updates; nonproducer participant
registration; official identification
device applications and approved
identification device manufacturer
agreements and updates; animal
identification number manager
registration, agreements, and updates;
cooperative agreements; State/Tribe
quarterly reports; animal disease
tractability road maps; eartag orders;
program site tag information; records of
tags issues and applied; coordination of
tag orders with manufacturers; reporting
loss, theft, and misuse of tags; removal
or replacement of eartags; and
recordkeeping. If this information was
not collected, APHIS’ ability to address
traceability needs would be significantly
hampered.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government;
Businesses.
Number of Respondents: 275,622.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Third-Party Disclosure;
Reporting: On occasion.

Foreign Agricultural Service
Title: Sugar Imported for Exports as
Refined Sugar, as a Sugar-Containing
Product, or Used in Production of
Certain Polyhydric Alcohols.
OMB Control Number: 0551–0015.
Summary of Collection: The
regulation at 7 CFR part 1530 authorizes
the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS)
to issue import licenses to enter raw
E:\FR\FM\28JNN1.SGM
28JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 125 / Thursday, June 28, 2018 / Notices
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
cane sugar exempt from the tariff-rate
quota (TRQ) for the raw cane sugar
imports and related requirements on the
condition that an equivalent quantity of
refined sugar be: (1) Exported as refined
sugar; (2) exported as an ingredient in
sugar containing products; or (3) used in
production of certain polyhydric
alcohols. The information requirements
set forth in the regulation are necessary
to enable FAS to administer the
licensing program in full compliance
with the regulation and to ensure that
licensed imports do not enter the
commercial sugar market in
circumvention of the TRQ for raw cane
sugar.
Need and Use of the Information: FAS
will collect information to verify that
the world-priced sugar is actually
exported and not diverted onto the
domestic market, thereby undermining
the objectives of politically sensitive
U.S. sugar policies. This collection
enables USDA to monitor participants
in an effort to ensure compliance with
program parameters. Without the
collection, there would be increased
opportunity to divert sugar onto the
domestic market.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 325.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting; Quarterly.
Total Burden Hours: 414.
Foreign Agricultural Service
Title: Specialty Sugar Certificate
Application.
OMB Control Number: 0551–0025.
Summary of Collection: The collect of
information is necessary to fulfill the
legal obligations of the regulation at 15
CFR 2011 subpart B to issue specialty
sugar certificates, letters to importers
signed by the Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS) Certifying Authority, and
ensuring that U.S. importers comply
with the program’s requirements. The
regulation sets forth the terms and
conditions under which the Certifying
Authority in FAS issues certificates to
importers allowing them to enter
specialty sugars under the tariff-rate
quota (TRQ) for refined sugar.
Need and Use of the Information: The
collected information will be used to:
(1) Determine whether applicants for the
program meet the regulation’s eligibility
criteria; (2) ensure that sugar to be
imported is specialty sugar and meets
the requirements of the regulation; (3)
audit participants’ compliance with the
regulation; and (4) prevent entry of
world-priced program sugar from
entering the domestic commercial
market instead of domestic specialty
sugar market. The Certifying Authority
VerDate Sep<11>2014

needs the information to manage, plan,
evaluate, and account for program
activities. Less frequent collection or no
collection would impede administration
of the specialty sugar certificate program
and reduce or eliminate imports
essential to U.S. organic food and
beverages processors.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 60.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
