Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
[Docket No. APHIS–2020–0064]
Addition of Papua New Guinea to the
List of Regions Affected With African
Swine Fever
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
We are advising the public
that we have added Papua New Guinea
to the list of regions that the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
considers to be affected with African
swine fever (ASF). We have taken this
action because of confirmation of ASF
in Papua New Guinea.
DATES: Papua New Guinea was added to
the APHIS list of regions considered
affected with ASF on April 1, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
John Grabau, Regionalization Evaluation
Services, Veterinary Services, APHIS,

Raleigh, NC 27606. Phone: (919) 855–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
regulations in 9 CFR part 94 (referred to
below as the regulations) govern the
importation of specified animals and
animal products to prevent introduction
into the United States of various animal
diseases, including African swine fever
(ASF). ASF is a highly contagious
animal disease of wild and domestic
swine. It can spread rapidly in swine
populations with extremely high rates of
morbidity and mortality. A list of
regions where ASF exists or is
reasonably believed to exist is
maintained on the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
website at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/

regions/. This list is referenced in
§ 94.8(a)(2) of the regulations.
Section 94.8(a)(3) of the regulations
states that APHIS will add a region to
the list referenced in § 94.8(a)(2) upon
determining ASF exists in the region,
based on reports APHIS receives of
outbreaks of the disease from veterinary
officials of the exporting country, from
the World Organization for Animal
Health (OIE), or from other sources the
Administrator determines to be reliable,
or upon determining that there is reason
to believe the disease exists in the
region. Section 94.8(a)(1) of the
regulations specifies the criteria on
which the Administrator bases the
reason to believe ASF exists in a region.
Section 94.8(b) prohibits importation of
pork and pork products from regions
listed in accordance with § 94.8 except
if processed and treated in accordance
with the provisions specified in that
section or consigned to an APHISapproved establishment for further
processing. In 9 CFR 96.2, there are
requirements for the importation of
swine casings that originated in or were
processed in a region where ASF exists,
as listed under § 94.8(a).
On March 30, 2020, the veterinary
authorities of Papua New Guinea
reported to the OIE the occurrence of
ASF in that country. This confirmation
of the ASF outbreak supported APHIS’
action on April 1, 2020, adding Papua
New Guinea to the list of regions where
ASF exists or is reasonably believed to
exist. This notice serves as an official
record and public notification of that
action.
As a result, pork and pork products
from Papua New Guinea, including
casings, are subject to APHIS import
restrictions designed to mitigate the risk
of ASF introduction into the United
States.
Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act (5 U.S.C.801 et seq.), the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs
designated this action as not a major
rule, as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1633, 7701–7772,
7781–7786, and 8301–8317; 21 U.S.C. 136

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 26—Atlanta,
Georgia Notification of Proposed
Production Activity, OFS Fitel, LLC
(Optical Fiber Products) Carrollton,
Georgia
Title: Agricultural Labor Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0109.
Expiration Date of Approval: February
28, 2022.
Type of Request: To suspend a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The primary objective of the
National Agricultural Statistics Service
is to prepare and issue State and
national estimates of crop and livestock
production, disposition, and prices. The
Agricultural Labor Survey provides
quarterly statistics on the number of
agricultural workers, hours worked, and
wage rates. Number of workers and
hours worked have been used to
estimate agricultural productivity; wage
rates have been used in the
administration of the H–2A Program
and for setting Adverse Effect Wage
Rates. Survey data have also been used
to carry out provisions of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act.
USDA has determined the public can
access other data sources for the data
collected in the Agricultural Labor
Survey. These sources include, but are
not limited to, the Agricultural
Resources Management Survey (ARMS),
Census of Agriculture (COA), American
Community Survey (ACS), Quarterly
Census of Employment and Wages
(QCEW), National Economic Accounts,
and the National Agricultural Workers
Survey (NAWS). Therefore, NASS will
not be collecting data in October 2020,
as originally planned. NASS will not
publish the biannual Farm Labor report
this November.
Authority: These data were collected
under authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204(a).
Individually identifiable data collected
under this authority are governed by
Section 1770 of the Food Security Act
of 1985, 7 U.S.C. 2276, which requires
USDA to afford strict confidentiality to
non-aggregated data provided by
respondents.
Estimate of Burden: There will be no
further public reporting burden for this
quarterly collection of information.

OFS Fitel, LLC (OFS Fitel) submitted
a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board for its facility
in Carrollton, Georgia. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on September 21,
2020.
The OFS Fitel facility is located
within FTZ 26. The facility is used for
the production of optical fiber products.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ
activity would be limited to the specific
foreign-status materials and components
and specific finished products described
in the submitted notification (as
described below) and subsequently
authorized by the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt OFS Fitel from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus materials/components noted
below, OFS Fitel would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to optical
fibers and optical fiber cables, bundles
and ribbon (duty rates are duty-free or
6.7%). OFS Fitel 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 components and materials
sourced from abroad include: Color
chips (high concentration of pigments
and additives encapsulated by a
polymer); UV curable ink (liquid prepolymer); epoxy; plastic jacketing
compound; flame retardant plastic
jacketing compound; acrylic plastic
central members or rods; standard nonwaterblock and waterblock aramid yarn;
water block tape (nonwoven polyester);
stainless steel wire; optical fibers;
optical bundles; steel tape; alloy steel
tape; and, jacketed plastic strength
