Title: Guidelines for Designating
Biobased Products for Federal
Procurement.
OMB Control Number: 0570–0073.
Expiration Date of Approval: April 30,
2021.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The USDA BioPreferred
Program provides that qualifying
biobased products that fall under
product categories (generic groups of
biobased products) that have been
designated for preferred procurement by
rule making are required to be
purchased by Federal agencies in lieu of
their fossil energy-based counterparts,
with certain limited exceptions. Further,
USDA is required by section 9002 of the
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act
of 2002, as amended by the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
and the Agricultural Act of 2014, and
the Agricultural Improvement Act of
2018, to provide certain information on
qualified biobased products to Federal
agencies. To meet these statutory
requirements, USDA will gather that
information from manufacturers and
vendors of biobased products. The
information sought by USDA can be
transmitted electronically using the
website https://www.biopreferred.gov. If
for any reason the requested information
cannot be electronically transmitted,
USDA will provide technical assistance
to support the transmission of
information to USDA. The information
collected will enable USDA to meet
statutory information requirements that
will then permit USDA to designate
product categories for preferred
procurement under the BioPreferred
Program. Once product categories are
designated, manufacturers and vendors
of qualifying biobased products that fall
under these designated product
categories will benefit from preferred
procurement by Federal agencies. This
collection was previously approved
under 0503–0011, and on February 4,
2021, was transferred to Rural

Development and assigned OMB
Control No. 0570–0073.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 40 hours per
response.
Respondents: Manufacturers and
vendors of biobased products.
Participation is entirely voluntary.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 220.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: One per manufacturer or
vendor.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 8,800 hours, one time
only. Manufacturers and vendors are
only asked to respond once for each
stand-alone product or product family.
Therefore, there is no ongoing annual
paperwork burden on respondents
unless they wish to add additional
stand-alone products or product
families. Furthermore, their
participation in the BioPreferred
Program is entirely voluntary.

for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Bureau of the Census
[Docket Number 210212–0021]
Urban Areas for the 2020 Census—
Proposed Criteria
Bureau of the Census,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of proposed program and
request for comments.
AGENCY:
This notice provides the
Bureau of the Census’ (hereafter, Census
Bureau’s) proposed criteria for defining
urban areas based on the results of the
2020 Decennial Census. It also provides
a description of the changes from the
final criteria used for the 2010 Census.
The Census Bureau is requesting public
comment on these proposed criteria.
The Census Bureau delineates urban
areas after each decennial census by
applying specified criteria to decennial
census and other data. Since the 1950
Census, the Census Bureau has
reviewed and revised these criteria, as
necessary, for each decennial census in
order to improve the classification of
urban areas by taking advantage of
newly available data and advancements
in geographic information processing
technology.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before May 20, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Please direct all written
comments on this proposed program via
email at geo.urban@census.gov to
Vincent Osier, Geographic Standards,
Criteria, and Quality Branch, Geography
Division, U.S. Census Bureau. Please
note that paper comments cannot be
reviewed due to limited building access
caused by the COVID–19 pandemic.
Phone: 301–763–1128.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information on
this proposed program should be
directed to Vincent Osier, Geographic
Standards, Criteria, and Quality Branch,

Bureau, via email at geo.urban@

SUMMARY:

The
Census Bureau’s urban area
classification is fundamentally a
delineation of geographical areas,
identifying individual urban areas as
well as the rural portion of the nation.
The Census Bureau’s urban areas
represent densely developed territory,
and encompass residential, commercial,
and other non-residential urban land
uses. The boundaries of the urban areas
have been defined primarily by using
measures based on population counts
and residential population density, and
also by using measures based on criteria
that account for non-residential urban
land uses, such as commercial,
industrial, transportation, and open
space that are part of the urban
landscape. Since the 1950 Census, when
the Census Bureau first defined densely
settled urbanized areas of 50,000 or
more people, the urban area delineation
process has addressed non-residential
urban land uses through criteria
designed to account for commercial
enclaves, special land uses such as
airports, and densely developed
noncontiguous territory.
In delineating urban areas, the Census
Bureau does not take into account or
attempt to meet the requirements of any
nonstatistical uses of these areas or their
associated data. Nonetheless, the Census
Bureau recognizes that some federal and
state agencies use the Census Bureau’s
urban area classification for
nonstatistical uses such as allocating
program funds, setting program
standards, and implementing aspects of
their programs. The agencies that use
the classification and data for such
nonstatistical uses should be aware that
the changes to the urban area criteria
also might affect the implementation of
their programs. In addition, the Census
Bureau is not responsible for the use of
its urban area classification in
nonstatistical programs. If a federal,
tribal, state, or local agency uses the
urban area classification for
nonstatistical purposes, it is that
agency’s responsibility to ensure that
the classification is appropriate for such
use.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
(1) History
Over the course of a century defining
urban areas, the Census Bureau has
introduced conceptual and
methodological changes to ensure that
the urban area classification keeps pace
with changes in settlement patterns and
with changes in theoretical and
practical approaches to interpreting and
understanding the definition of urban
areas. Prior to the 1950 Census, the
Census Bureau primarily defined
‘‘urban’’ as any population, housing,
