SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Animal Health
Monitoring System; Health Management
on U.S. Feedlots 2020 Study.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0079.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of an
information collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to protect the health of the
livestock, poultry, and aquaculture
populations in the United States by
preventing the introduction and
interstate spread of serious diseases and
pests of livestock and for eradicating
such diseases from the United States
when feasible. This authority has been
designated to the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
In connection with this mission,
APHIS operates the National Animal
Health Monitoring System (NAHMS),
which collects, on a national basis,
statistically valid and scientifically
sound data on the prevalence and
economic importance of livestock,
poultry, and aquaculture disease risk
factors.
NAHMS studies have evolved into a
collaborative industry and government
initiative to help determine the most
effective means of preventing and
controlling diseases of livestock. APHIS
is the only agency responsible for
collecting data on livestock health.
Participation in any NAHMS study is
voluntary, and data are confidential.
APHIS plans to conduct the Health
Management on U.S. Feedlots 2020
Study as part of an ongoing series of
NAHMS studies on the U.S. livestock
population. This study will support the
following study objectives:
• Describe health management
practices on cattle feedlots;
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Sfmt 4703
• Estimate the prevalence of
producer-reported common feedlot
cattle diseases;
• Describe antimicrobial use and
stewardship practices;
• Describe attitudes and perceptions
of feedlot producers about antimicrobial
use, antimicrobial stewardship, and the
Veterinary Feed Directive; and
• Describe trends in feedlot cattle
health management practices and
producer-reported common feedlot
cattle diseases.
The study will consist of two phases.
In Phase I, the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) will contact
selected feedlot producers to collect
operational level data and consent to be
contacted for the next phase of the
study. NASS data collectors will contact
producers by telephone to schedule a
personal interview to complete the
initial questionnaire with the help of an
enumerator. The enumerators will also
attempt to obtain consent from the
producer to be contacted for
participation in Phase II of the study. In
Phase II, APHIS data collectors will
contact consenting respondents to
administer the second questionnaire via
personal interview.
APHIS will analyze the information
collected in both phases of this study to
predict or detect national and regional
trends of feedlot cattle health; update
national and regional production
measures for producer, veterinary, and
industry reference; and provide factual
information on antimicrobial use and
stewardship.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 8, 2019 / Notices
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.47 hours per
response.
Respondents: Feedlot producers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 5,413.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.7.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 9,016.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 4,202 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 2nd day of
October 2019.

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 155—
Calhoun/Victoria Counties, Texas;
Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; Caterpillar, Inc. (Tractors and
Forestry Machines); Victoria, Texas
The Calhoun/Victoria Foreign Trade
Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 155,
submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board on
behalf of Caterpillar, Inc. (Caterpillar)
located in Victoria, Texas. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on September 27, 2019.
Caterpillar already has authority to
produce hydraulic track-type excavators
and related fabricated frame assemblies
within FTZ 155. The current request
would add finished products and
foreign-status materials/components to
the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15
CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority
would be limited to the specific foreignstatus materials/components and
specific finished products described in
the submitted notification (as described
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:50 Oct 07, 2019
Jkt 250001
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Caterpillar from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status materials/components
noted below and in the existing scope
of authority, Caterpillar would be able
to choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to tracktype tractors and forestry machines
(duty free). Caterpillar would be able to
avoid duty on foreign-status
components which become scrap/waste.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.
The materials/components sourced
from abroad include: Oil lubricant;
plastic hose assemblies; cork sheets;
cork gaskets for fuel tanks; cork plugs;
paper certificates; paper envelopes; steel
clamps for external mirrors; steel tooling
and dies; steel installation crimping
tools; steel brackets; flexible exhaust
tubes for cooling; steel brackets for wire
harnesses; steel plates for wire
harnesses; steel plates for whole frame
assemblies; heel assemblies; steel frame
assembly blocks; steel covers for frame
assemblies; undercarriage tracks;
walkway assemblies for frame of
excavators; steel sheets for frame
assemblies; tube assemblies for grease
lines; steel doors; radiator shrouds;
boom assemblies (whole boom); guard
assemblies for frame of excavators; steel
pins; ignition systems; horns for
excavator cabs; wiper blades for
excavator cabs; lighting for excavator
cabs; horn assemblies; wiper blade
assemblies; mounted cameras;
electronic navigational displays; alarm
assemblies for rollover/backup
protection; guard plates; steel
connectors; inertial measurement unit
navigational sensors; breakout electrical
testing sensors; electrical sensors; and,
boot scrapers (steel with plastic bristles)
(duty rate ranges from duty-free to
5.3%).
The request indicates that certain
materials/components are subject to
special duties Section 301 of the Trade
Act of 1974 (Section 301), depending on
the country of origin. The applicable
Section 301 decisions require subject
merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR
146.41).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is
November 18, 2019.
