jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
June 23, 2020.
The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments are
requested regarding 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; the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments regarding this information
collection received by July 27, 2020 will
be considered. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Find this
particular information collection by
selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day
Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or
by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or

displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Laboratory Assessment
Requests.
OMB Control Number: 0583–New.
Summary of Collection: The Food
Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has
been delegated the authority to exercise
the functions of the Secretary as
provided in the Federal Meat Inspection
Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)
(21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.) and the Egg
Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21
U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). These statutes
mandate that FSIS protect the public by
ensuring that meat, poultry, and egg
products are wholesome, not
adulterated, and properly labeled and
packaged.
As a public health regulatory agency,
FSIS investigates reports of foodborne
illness, contamination, and adulteration
potentially associated with FSISregulated products. During these
investigations, non-FSIS laboratories
may test FSIS regulated product and
share the results with FSIS. FSIS Office
of Public Health Science (OPHS) Staff
(SciS) will review the results and
associated documentation shared by the
non-FSIS laboratory to determine
whether FSIS will accept the results. If
the SciS lead investigator determines
the non-FSIS laboratory result is
acceptable, FSIS may use the result to
inform regulatory action (e.g. request a
recall or detain product).
Need and Use of the Information: As
part of the process to determine if the
non-FSIS laboratory result is acceptable,
the SciS lead investigator collects
information from the non-FSIS
laboratory and verifies that the non-FSIS
laboratory can provide the appropriate
certifications and documentation of
accreditation, such as ISO17025, or
another third-party accreditation entity
covering the methods performed. The
SciS lead investigator also verifies that
the laboratory has submitted all the
necessary information, including
evidence of chain of custody, the
appropriate laboratory reports with
sample identification, final results, and
authorization by the responsible official
for affirming results. The laboratory may
use FSIS Form 8000–17, Evidence
Receipt and Chain of Custody, to submit
information to FSIS. Finally, the SciS
investigator collects and verifies

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Risk Management Agency
AGENCY:
Title: Subpart U—Ineligibility for
Programs under the Federal Crop
Insurance Act.
OMB Control Number: 0563–0085.
Summary of Collection: The Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is a
wholly-owned Government corporation
created February 16, 1938 (7 U.S.C.
1501). The program was amended
previously, but Public Law 96–365,
dated September 26, 1980, provided for
nationwide expansion of a
comprehensive crop insurance program.
The Federal Crop Insurance Act, as
amended in later years further expanded
this role of the crop insurance program
to be the principal tool for risk
management by producers of
agricultural commodities.
Need and Use of the Information: The
purpose of collecting the information is
to ensure persons that are ineligible for
benefits under the Federal crop
insurance program are accurately
identified as such and do not obtain
benefits to which they are not eligible.
A person can become ineligible for
benefits for three reasons: (1) Debt on
unpaid premium or overpaid indemnity
(information provided by AIP; (2) Debt
on unpaid CAT fee (information
provided by AIP); and (3) Debarment/
disqualification/suspension, including
but not limited to judgement, civil fines,
etc. The Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation and AIPs use the
information collected to determine
whether a person seeking to obtain
Federal crop insurance coverage are
ineligible for such coverage according to
the statutory/regulatory mandates
identified. Failure to collect the
applicable information could result in
unearned Federal benefits being issued.
Description of Respondents:
Businesses or other for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 14.
Frequency of Responses: On
occasions; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 2,647.

Title: Advanced Biofuel Payment
Program.
OMB Number: OMB No. 0570–0063.
Expiration Date of Approval:
December 31, 2020.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The Advanced Biofuel
Payment Program was authorized under
section 9005 of Title IX of the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
(2008 Farm Bill). It authorizes the
Agency to enter into contracts to make
payments to eligible entities to support
and ensure an expanding production of
advanced biofuels. Entities eligible to
receive payments under the Program are
producers of advanced biofuels that
meet all of the requirements of the
Program.
This revision reflects a 584 decrease
in annual responses and a 507 decrease
in burden hours. The reduction in the
burden to the public reflects a full
accounting of all Rural Development
(RD) forms that must be provided by
participating producers. The estimated
burden includes accounting for the
Assurance Agreement (RD 400–4) and
the Certification for Contracts, Grants
and Loans (RD 1940–Q). The total
estimated costs to the public was
decreased by $16,879 per year, from
$66,096 to 49,217.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.89 hours per
response.
Respondents: The respondents are the
advanced biofuel producers and Agency
staff who process applications and
quarterly payment requests.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
206 advanced biofuel producers.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimate Number of Responses: 1,500.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 1,339 hours.
