Proposed Establishment of the West Sonoma Coast Viticultural Area; Comment Period Reopening, 3353-3354 [2019-01996]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 12, 2019 / Proposed Rules described earlier. No other data or financial audits would be collected. USAID previously collected information for PVO registration purposes under the OMB-approved AID Form 1550–2 (OMB Approval Number 0412–0035) but inadvertently operated in non-compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) when OMB approval of this form expired, and USAID did not seek extension of the OMB approval when the Agency moved to an online system for PVO registration. USAID’s online PVO registration system required that PVOs provide the same information requested on AID Form 1550–2, including financial data. As such, the public reporting burden for collection of information remained the same under the online system. 5. Administrative Procedures Act The Agency plans to issue this deregulatory action since the purpose of the rule is to remove an unneeded hurdle to doing business with the Agency that imposes unnecessary and excessive costs on the private sector with no value to the Government. The rule proposed for rescission originally called for the collection of information, such as a company’s volunteer makeup—a requirement for PVOs that has since been obviated once the volunteer requirement was removed by law. Apart from that requirement, statutory references to registration of PVOs (such as those in FAA sections 123 or 607) provide no further guidance or requirements to the Agency on what such registration should entail. By rescinding this rule, the Agency is free to simplify and streamline registration to remove costly barriers to doing business with the Agency. The Agency also conducted surveys of the primary stakeholders to the registration process—that of Agency internal stakeholders and the PVO community. Surveys of registered PVOs in 2012 and in 2017 showed that the PVO community did not see significant value in the registration program delineated by the rule at issue, and internal stakeholders for the Agency determined that the information collected in accordance with the rule at issue served no purpose for the Agency. These findings contributed to the decision to remove both the registration program and the rule that required such a rigorous registration process. Additionally, no new rule is being put in place in lieu of the present rule. For the Limited Excess Property Program, the Ocean Freight Reimbursement Program, and PVOs who are affiliated with U.S. Government agencies seeking to provide foreign VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:15 Feb 11, 2019 Jkt 247001 assistance under FAA Section 607(a), which all still require registration due to legislative requirements, as provided above, the Agency has developed a simplified registration process to be implemented as part of the application process. Dated: December 21, 2018. James Peters, Acting Senior Deputy Assistant Administrator, Bureau for Economic Growth, Education, and Environment, U.S. Agency for International Development.
