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.

[B–59–2020]
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
