persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Forest Service
Title: Fire and Aviation Management
Medical Qualifications Program.
OMB Control Number: 0596–0164.
Summary of Collection: The
Protection Act of 1922 (16 U.S.C. 594)
authorizes the Forest Service (FS) to
fight fires on National Forest System
lands. Title 5 CFR, Part 339, authorizes
the FS to establish medical qualification
standards and require pre-appointment
medical examinations, regular recurring
periodic examinations after
appointment, and whenever there is a
direct question about a firefighter’s
continued ability to meet the medical
qualification standards. The information
collected pertains to an individual’s
health status and health history. The
collection of this information and use
thereof are consistent with the
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a (Privacy Act
of 1974).
Need and Use of the Information:
Individuals seeking recertification or
employment as a new firefighter with
the FS or Department of Interior (DOI)
must complete the Health Screening
Questionnaire (HSQ). FS and DOI will
collect information from potential
applicants using forms FS–5100–30,
Work Capacity Test Informed Consent
and FS–5100–31, Health Screening
Questionnaire. Applicants will also
need to complete the Wildland
Firefighter Medical Qualifications
Program Medical Exam and a SelfCertification Statement and Blood
Pressure Check. Wildland firefighters
perform long hours of arduous labor in
adverse conditions. The information
collected is used to determine whether
an individual being considered for a
position can carry out those duties in a
manner that will not place the candidate
or coworkers unduly at risk due to
inadequate physical fitness and health.
If the information is not collected, the
Government’s liability risk is high,
special needs of an individual may not
be known, or the screening of an
applicant’s physical suitability would
be greatly inhibited.

Individuals or households.

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: School Nutrition and Meal Cost
Study-II (SNMCS–II).
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: Section 28(a)
of the Richard B. Russell National
School Lunch Act authorizes the USDA
Secretary to conduct performance
assessments of the school meal
programs, including the nutritional
quality of the meals and the costs of
producing them. The SNMCS–II will
provide a comprehensive picture of the
National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
and the School Breakfast Program (SBP)
and will provide critical information
about the nutritional quality, cost, and
acceptability of school meals seven
years after major reforms began being
phased in during the 2012–2013 school
year. This study is broken down into
two sub-studies: The ‘‘mainland study’’
and the ‘‘outlying areas cost study’’ and
has four broad objectives including (1)
describing the School Food Authority
(SFA) and school environment, food
service operating policies and practices,
student participation, and other
characteristics of schools and SFAs
participating in NSLP and SBP, (2)
determining the food and nutrient
content of school meals and afterschool
snacks and the overall nutritional
quality of these meals and snacks; (3)
determining the cost to produce
reimbursable school lunches and
breakfasts, including indirect and local
administrative costs, and examining the
ratio of revenues to costs; and (4)
describing student characteristics,
participation, student/parent
satisfaction, plate waste, and students’
dietary intakes. This study will update
previous data collected during SY 2014–
2015 for the School Nutrition and Meal
Cost Study (SNMCS–I).
Need and Use of the Information:
This voluntary study will collect data
from state agencies, school food
authorities, local education authorities,
schools, food service management
companies, students, and parents/
guardians. The data collected from the
‘‘mainland study’’ will provide Federal,
State, and local policymakers with
current information about how federally
sponsored school meal programs are
operating. The findings from SNMCS–II
will be compared to those from
SNMCS–I to explore trends in food
service operations, the nutrient content
of school meals, meal costs and
revenues, and student participation,
plate waste, and dietary intakes. The
study will also examine relationships
among the key domains, especially
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:15 Jun 26, 2019
Jkt 247001
among nutritional quality, cost, and
student participation. Data collected
from the ‘‘outlying areas cost study’’
will estimate the costs of producing
reimbursable school meals in Alaska,
Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the
United States Virgin Islands, and will
examine the relationship of costs to
revenues in these States and Territories.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
provisions of paragraph (a)(i) of the
Additional U.S. Note 5, Chapter 17 in
the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(HTS) authorize the Secretary to
establish the in-quota tariff-rate quota
(TRQ) amounts (expressed in terms of
raw value) for imports of raw cane sugar

and certain sugars, syrups, and molasses
that may be entered under the
subheadings of the HTS subject to the
lower tier of duties during each fiscal
year. The Office of the U.S. Trade
Representative (USTR) is responsible for
the allocation of these quantities among
supplying countries and areas.
Section 359(k) of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended,
requires that at the beginning of the
quota year the Secretary of Agriculture
establish the TRQs for raw cane sugar
and refined sugars at the minimum
levels necessary to comply with
obligations under international trade
agreements, with the exception of
specialty sugar.
The Secretary’s authority under
paragraph (a)(i) of the Additional U.S.
Note 5, Chapter 17 in the U.S.
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and
Section 359(k) of the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended,
has been delegated to the Under
Secretary for Trade and Foreign
Agricultural Affairs (7 CFR 2.26).
Notice is hereby given that I have
determined, in accordance with
paragraph (a)(i) of the Additional U.S.
Note 5, Chapter 17 in the HTS and
section 359(k) of the 1938 Act, that an
aggregate quantity of up to 1,117,195
MTRV of raw cane sugar may be entered
or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption during FY 2020. This is
the minimum amount to which the
United States is committed under the
WTO Uruguay Round Agreements. I
have further determined that an
aggregate quantity of 192,000 MTRV of
sugars, syrups, and molasses (refined
sugar) may be entered or withdrawn
from warehouse for consumption during
FY 2020. This quantity includes the
minimum amount to which the United
States is committed under the WTO
Uruguay Round Agreements, 22,000
MTRV, of which 20,344 MTRV is
established for any sugars, syrups and
molasses, and 1,656 MTRV is reserved
for specialty sugar. An additional
amount of 170,000 MTRV is added to
the specialty sugar TRQ for a total of
171,656 MTRV.
Because the specialty sugar TRQ is
first-come, first-served, tranches are
needed to allow for orderly marketing
throughout the year. The FY 2020
specialty sugar TRQ will be opened in
five tranches. The first tranche, totaling
1,656 MTRV, will open October 1, 2019.
All specialty sugars are eligible for entry
under this tranche. The second tranche
of 50,000 MTRV will open on October
9, 2019. The third tranche of 55,000
MTRV will open on January 22, 2020.
The fourth tranche of 35,000 MTRV will
open on April 15, 2020. The fifth
