Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 139 / Monday, July 20, 2020 / Notices
a determination of nonregulated status
for enhanced grain yield and
glufosinate-ammonium resistant
DP202216 Maize.
The draft EA was prepared in
accordance with (1) NEPA, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), (2) regulations
of the Council on Environmental
Quality for implementing the
procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR
parts 1500–1508), (3) USDA regulations
implementing NEPA (7 CFR part 1b),
and (4) APHIS’ NEPA Implementing
Procedures (7 CFR part 372).
Based on APHIS’ analysis of field and
laboratory data submitted by Pioneer,
references provided in the petition,
peer-reviewed publications, information
analyzed in the draft EA, the
preliminary PPRA, comments provided
by the public on the petition, and
discussion of issues in the draft EA,
APHIS has determined that corn
designated as event DP202216 Maize is
unlikely to pose a plant pest risk.
We are making available for a 30-day
review period our preliminary PPRA
and draft EA. The draft EA and
preliminary PPRA are available as
indicated under ADDRESSES and FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above.
Copies of these documents may also be
obtained from the person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
After the 30-day review period closes,
APHIS will review and evaluate any
information received during the 30-day
review period. APHIS will revise the
preliminary PPRA as necessary and
prepare a final EA and, based on the
final EA, a NEPA decision document
(either a FONSI or a notice of intent to
prepare an environmental impact
statement).
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 7701–7772 and 7781–

Title: South American Cactus Moth;
Quarantine and Regulations.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0337.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: As authorized by the Plant
Protection Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture, either
independently or in cooperation with
States, may carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests that are new to or not widely
distributed within the United States.
This authority has been delegated to the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, which administers
regulations to implement the PPA.
In accordance with the regulations in
‘‘Subpart K—South American Cactus
Moth’’ (7 CFR 301.55 through 301.55–9),
APHIS restricts the interstate movement
of cactus moth host material, including
nursery stock and plant parts for
consumption, from infested areas of the
United States to help prevent the spread
of South American cactus moth into
noninfested areas of the United States.
The regulations contain requirements
for the interstate movement of regulated
articles and involve information
collection activities, including
completion of Federal certificates,
compliance agreements, and limited
permits.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 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
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 0.41 hours per
response.

also become a matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Export Certification:
Accreditation of Nongovernment
Facilities.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0130.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS),
among other things, provides export
certification services to assure other
countries that the plants and plant
products they are receiving from the
United States are free of plant pests
specified by the receiving country. This
activity is authorized by the Plant
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.).
The export certification regulations,
which are contained in 7 CFR part 353,
describe the procedures for obtaining
certification for plants and plant
products offered for export or reexport.
Our regulations do not require that we
engage in export certification activities;
however, we perform this work as a
service to exporters who are shipping
plants or plant products to countries
that require phytosanitary certification
as a condition of entry.
After assessing the condition of the
plants or plant products intended for
export (i.e., after conducting a
phytosanitary inspection), an inspector
will issue an internationally recognized
phytosanitary certificate, a
phytosanitary certificate for reexport, or
an export certificate for processed plant
products. An important component of
the certification process, when required,
is laboratory testing of plant or plant
product samples.
The regulations allow nongovernment
facilities (such as commercial
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
laboratories and private inspection
services) to be accredited by APHIS to
perform specific laboratory testing or
phytosanitary inspections that could
serve as the basis for issuing Federal
phytosanitary certificates, phytosanitary
certificates for reexport, or export
certificates for processed plant products.
The accreditation process requires the
use of several information collection
activities to ensure that nongovernment
facilities applying for accreditation
possess the necessary qualifications.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 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
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
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 3.9
hours per response.
Respondents: U.S. growers, shippers,
exporters, and State and local plant
health regulatory authorities.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 9.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 6.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 54.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 209 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.
