SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Small Meat Processor Study.
OMB Control Number: 0583–XXXX.
Type of Request: Request for a new
information collection.
Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the
authority to exercise the functions of the
Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified
in the Federal Meat Inspection Act
(FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.). This
statute mandates that FSIS protect the
public by verifying that meat products
are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged.
Section 12107 of the 2018 Farm Bill
states that the Secretary shall offer to
enter into a contract with a land-grant
college or university or a non-land-grant
college of agriculture (as those terms are
defined in section 1404 of the National
Agricultural Research, Extension, and
Teaching Policy Act of 1977 (7 U.S.C.
3101)) to review the effectiveness of
existing FSIS guidance materials and
other tools used by small and very small
establishments, including: (1) The
effectiveness of the outreach conducted
by the Food Safety and Inspection
Service to small and very small
establishments; (2) the effectiveness of
the guidance materials and other tools
used by the Food Safety and Inspection
Service to assist small and very small
establishments; and (3) the
responsiveness of Food Safety and
Inspection Service personnel to
inquiries and issues from small and very
small establishments.
FSIS has entered into a Cooperative
Agreement with the College of
Agriculture at Oregon State University,
to conduct this review for small and
very small establishments. FSIS is
requesting approval for a new
information collection to survey small
and very small meat processing plants

about a draft report concerning FSIS
resources available to help them achieve
and maintain regulatory compliance.
This is a new information collection
with an estimated burden of 375 hours.
Oregon State will develop a draft
report based on multiple data sources.
This draft report will then be distributed
to a wider audience of key stakeholders
that are small plant operators. Oregon
will ask those stakeholders to read the
draft report and fill out a short survey
to gather their feedback. The survey will
be administered online and also inperson at three regional small plant
stakeholder meetings being held in
different locations in 2020.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of burden: FSIS estimates
that it will take respondents an average
of 75 minutes per response.
Respondents: Official establishments.
Estimated total number of
respondents: 300.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 375 hours.
Copies of this information collection
assessment can be obtained from Gina
Kouba, Office of Policy and Program
Development, Food Safety and
Inspection Service, USDA, 1400
Independence Avenue SW, Room 6065,
South Building, Washington, DC 20250–
3700; (202) 720–5627.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FSIS’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of FSIS’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the method and assumptions
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information, including through the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques, or other forms of
information technology. Comments may
be sent to both FSIS, at the addresses
provided above, and the Desk Officer for
Agriculture, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget (OMB),
Washington, DC 20253.
Responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request

Background
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), on
August 28, 2019, Commerce published
its final results in the administrative
review of the CVD order on solar cells
from China covering the POR.1 On
September 9, 2019, Jinko Solar Co., Ltd,
a mandatory respondent in this
administrative review, timely submitted
ministerial error allegations concerning
the Final Results.2 No other parties

Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the
People’s Republic of China: Final Results of

(August 28, 2019) and accompanying Issues and

behalf of itself and certain affiliated companies:

Sfmt 4703
submitted ministerial error allegations
or commented on Jinko Solar’s
allegations. Complaints were filed with
the U.S. Court of International Trade
(the Court) challenging the Final
Results. The United States sought leave
from the Court to address these
ministerial error allegations. The Court
granted the United States’ request and
allowed until December 13, 2019 to
publish any amended final results in the
Federal Register.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the CVD
order is solar cells from China, whether
or not partially or fully assembled into
other products, including, but not
limited to, modules, laminates, panels,
and building integrated materials. A full
description of the scope of the order is
contained in the Final Results Decision
Memorandum.3
Ministerial Errors
Section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(f) define a ‘‘ministerial error’’ as
an error in addition, subtraction, or
other arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Secretary considers
ministerial. As discussed in the
Response to Ministerial Error
Allegations, Commerce finds that the
errors alleged by Jinko Solar regarding
the calculations for the benchmarks
used to calculate benefits with respect
to the Provision of Electricity for Less
Than Adequate Remuneration (LTAR)
Program and the Provision for
Aluminum Extrusions for LTAR
Program constitute ministerial errors
within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.224(f).4
In accordance with section 751(h) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
Commerce is amending the Final
Results to correct these ministerial
errors. Specifically, Commerce is
amending the net subsidy rates for Jinko
Solar and for the companies for which
Jinko Solar Import and Export Co., Ltd.; JinkoSolar
International Limited; and Zhejiang Jinko Solar Co.,
Ltd. (collectively, Jinko Solar). See Jinko Solar’s
Letter, ‘‘Countervailing Duty Order on Crystalline
Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not
Assembled into Modules: Jinko’s Ministerial Error
Comments,’’ dated September 9, 2019 (Ministerial
Error Allegations).

Administrative Review of Crystalline Silicon
