Download as PDF 65624 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Notices selected commodities. On behalf of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), the Farm Service Agency (FSA) administers MFP. MFP participants will receive an MFP payment, calculated based on the eligible production multiplied by the participant’s share multiplied by the MFP payment rate. Application period: December 21, 2018 through January 15, 2019. DATES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bradley Karmen, telephone: (202) 720– 3175. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The MFP regulation in 7 CFR part 1409 specifies the eligibility requirements, payment calculations, and application procedures for MFP. CCC published NOFAs on August 30, 2018 (83 FR 44257–44258), and on September 25, 2018 (83 FR 48410– 48411), that announced funds available for MFP commodities and specified the initial payment rates. MFP provides assistance to producers with commodities that have been significantly impacted by actions of foreign governments resulting in the loss of traditional exports. The initial payment rates announced in previous NOFAs applied to the first 50 percent of the producer’s total production of the selected commodity. The second payment rates, as announced in this NOFA, apply to the remaining 50 percent of the producer’s production for the selected commodity. MFP payment at the second payment rate will be made after a producer harvests 100 percent of the crop and certifies the amount of production. Payment Rates The MFP payment rates that have been determined by CCC are as shown in the following table. Initial rate * ($/unit) Commodity Unit Soybeans ...................................................................... Sorghum .......................................................................

The actual production used to calculate an MFP payment under this NOFA is 2018 production in which the applicant had an ownership share. Specifically, required production information is as follows: • Harvested production for the 2018 crop year; • An ownership share for a crop will be as reported to FSA on the acreage report, form FSA–578, ‘‘Report of Acreage.’’ For information about production evidence, payment limitation, and eligible crops, see the previously published MFP NOFAs (83 FR 44257– 44258 and 83 FR 48410–48411). Paperwork Reduction Act Requirements Federal Assistance Programs amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1 In the accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the information collection required by MFP regulation (7 CFR 1409) has been approved by OMB under OMB control number of 0560– 0292. FSA does not have any changes to the burden hours and the information collection activities for this NOFA. Environmental Review The environmental impacts for MFP have been considered in a manner consistent with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321–4347), the regulations of the Council on VerDate Sep<11>2014 00:00 Dec 21, 2018 Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), and the FSA regulation for compliance with NEPA (7 CFR part 799). As stated in the MFP final rule, the implementation of MFP and the participation in MFP do not constitute major Federal actions that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment, individually or cumulatively. The final rule served as documentation of the programmatic environmental compliance decision for this federal program; therefore, CCC will not prepare additional environmental compliance documentation for this NOFA. Jkt 247001 The title and number of the Federal assistance programs, as found in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, to which this NOFA applies is: 10.123 Market Facilitation Program.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Walch, (202) 376–8371; TTY: (202) 376–8116; publicaffairs@ usccr.gov. ADDRESSES: In 2015, the Commission issued a report, ‘‘With Liberty and Justice for All: The State of Civil Rights at Immigration Detention Facilities.’’ In that report, the Commission specifically addressed the status of detained undocumented immigration children and found substantial questions regarding the compliance of both the Office of Refugee Resettlement of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with the quality care standards and the terms of the Flores Settlement Agreement for unaccompanied minor children. Further, the Commission examined policies and standards surrounding the detention of families at residential centers operated by DHS. In 2018, as part of implementing its ‘‘zero tolerance’’ program for border crossings, the federal government began forcibly separating undocumented immigrant children from their parents. After reversing this policy, the federal government stated it would seek legal authority to allow indefinite detention of children and their families. In July 2018, the Commission voted to reopen its investigation on the conditions of immigration detention, and appointed a Subcommittee to examine the issue further. The Commission’s Subcommittee has sought information from DHS and HHS, in the form of interrogatories and document requests. The Commission’s requests to DHS and HHS are available on our website. To supplement the solicited information, the Commission’s Subcommittee will hold an in-person public comment session on the condition of immigration detention centers and status of treatment of SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65625 immigrants, including children. This inperson public comment session will take place from 1:30–4:00 p.m. on Friday, January 25, 2019. The Commission Subcommittee seeks to hear from members of the public, including policy advocates, legal experts, affected persons, and other individuals who wish to speak on the issue. Members of the public will have up to approximately five (5) minutes to address the Commission, with spots allotted on a first-come, first-serve basis. There will be a limited time for the Commissioners to engage in direct dialogue with the members of the public. Individuals will be able to register for speaking slots, both online and at the public comment session (in person). The Commission will provide interpretation services in Spanish. Individuals are also welcome to bring their own interpreters (for Spanish or other languages). Additional time may be allotted to individuals requiring interpretation services, as necessary. Online Registration On Friday, January 18, 2019, beginning at 9:00 a.m. ET, individuals will be able to register to speak online at Eventbrite. This registration option will remain open until all slots are filled, and no later than 9:00 a.m. ET on Friday January, 25, 2019. An individual who successfully registers online must be physically present for the public comment session no later than 1:00 p.m. ET on Friday, January 25, 2019, or risk forfeiting the individual’s speaking slot.
