Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 112 / Monday, June 14, 2021 / Notices
authorized to protect the health of
livestock, poultry, and aquaculture
populations in the United States by
preventing the introduction and
interstate spread of serious diseases and
pests of livestock and for eradicating
such diseases within the United States
when feasible. This authority has been
delegated to the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
In connection with this mission,
APHIS operates the National Animal
Health Monitoring System (NAHMS),
which collects on a national basis
statistically valid and scientifically
sound data on the prevalence and
economic importance of livestock
poultry and aquaculture disease risk
factors. NAHMS’ studies have evolved
into a collaborative government and
industry initiative to help determine the
most effective means of preventing and
controlling diseases of livestock. APHIS
is the only Federal agency responsible
for collecting data on livestock.
Participation in any NAHMS study is
voluntary and all data are confidential.
APHIS plans to conduct a Bison 2022
Study to obtain information about the
livestock population and to provide a
foundation for possible future studies.
The objectives of the study are to:
• Describe status and changes in the
U.S. bison industry from 2014 to 2022,
including operation characteristics
(such as inventory, size, and type),
production purposes, and marketing
practices.
• Describe current U.S. bison
industry production practices and
challenges, including animal
management and welfare, nutrition and
range management, and environmental
stewardship.
• Describe health management and
biosecurity practices on U.S. bison
operations.
• Describe producer-reported
occurrence of select health problems,
associated management practices or
actions, and causes of bison mortality.
The study will consist of two
collection phases. The first phase
consists of a producer informed consent
form and a self-administered paper or
electronic survey administered by
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS). The second, biologics
phase, includes a microbe collection
record, two fecal parasite collection
records, and a forage collection record,
each documenting biologic samples
collected and submitted by producers
who choose to participate in the second
phase to receive biologic results from
their herds. All producers in the study
will receive a study evaluation upon
conclusion of the study. The
information collected will be used by
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
APHIS to describe current bison health
and management practices, help
policymakers and industry make
informed decisions, help researchers
and private enterprise identify and
focus on vital issues related to bison
health and productivity, facilitate the
education of future producers and
veterinarians, and conduct economic
analyses of the health and production of
the U.S. bison industry.
On March 20, 2012, NAHMS was
recognized by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) as a statistical unit
under the Confidential Information
Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (CIPSEA). All information
acquired under the Bison 2022 Study’s
NASS phase will be used for statistical
purposes only and will be treated as
confidential in accordance with CIPSEA
guidelines. Only NAHMS staff and
designated agents will be permitted
access to individual-level data. The
biologics phase of the study will not be
collected under CIPSEA, rather will be
protected as Confidential Business
Information as defined in 19 CFR 201.6.
Respondent information will be
protected by ensuring that no
identifying information is linked to the
data.
We are asking OMB to approve our
use of these information collection
activities, as described, for 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 1.25 hours per
response.
Respondents: Bison owners and
producers.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 2,000.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.5.

Needs and Uses: The School District
Review Program (SDRP) is one of many
voluntary geographic partnership
programs at the U.S. Census Bureau.
The SDRP collects school district
information and boundaries to update
the Census Bureau’s geographic
database of addresses, streets, and
boundaries on an annual basis. The
Census Bureau uses its geographic
database to tie demographic data from
surveys and the decennial census to
locations and areas, such as cities,
school districts, and counties. To
tabulate statistics by localities, the
Census Bureau must have accurate
addresses and boundaries.
While the geographic programs differ
in requirements, timeframe, and
participants, SDRP and the other
geographic programs all follow the same
basic process. The Census Bureau
invites eligible participants to the
program. For SDRP, the sponsor, the
National Center for Education Statistics
invites the state departments of
education/state Title I coordinators to
designate mapping coordinators. If they
elect to participate in the program,
participants receive a copy of the
boundaries the Census Bureau has on
file. SDRP participants receive free
customized mapping software.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:26 Jun 11, 2021
Jkt 253001
Participants review the boundaries in
the Census Bureau provided digital
maps and update them if needed. The
mapping coordinator collects updates
from local school districts, state
education officials, county planners,
and state data centers, and ensures
completion of submissions within the
SDRP’s timeframe. The respondents for
the SDRP are the Title I coordinators
and mapping coordinators from the fifty
states and the District of Columbia.
Participants return their updates to the
Census Bureau. The Census Bureau then
updates its geographic database with
boundary updates from participants to
use the newly updated boundaries to
tabulate statistics.
The Census Bureau requests state
officials to review and update the school
district information the Census Bureau
has on file, through the SDRP. The
school district information obtained
through this program will assist in
forming the Census Bureau’s estimates
of the number of children age five
through seventeen, in families in
poverty, for each school district. State
officials will provide the Census Bureau
with updates and corrections to the
Federal School District Local Education
Agency identification numbers, school
district boundaries, school names, grade
ranges, and levels for which each school
district is financially responsible.
These Census Bureau estimates are
the basis of the Title I allocation for
each school district. The SDRP is of
vital importance for each state’s
allocation under Title I of the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act as amended by Every Student
Succeeds Act of 2015, Public Law 114–
95. The U.S. Department of Education
uses these estimates to allocate more
than $14 billion in Title I funding
annually.
The SDRP encompasses Type 1 and
Type 2 school districts as defined by the
NCES. Type 1 is a local school district
that is not a component of a supervisory
union. Type 2 is a local school district
component of a supervisory union
sharing a superintendent and
administrative services with other local
school districts.
The SDRP consists of two phases—the
Annotation and Verification Phases. In
the Annotation Phase, the Census
Bureau provides mapping coordinators
with materials containing the most
current school district boundaries and
information the Census Bureau has on
file for their state. Mapping coordinators
review the data and submit changes to
the school district boundaries or
associated information to the Census
Bureau. The Census Bureau reviews and
processes the information submitted by
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

mapping coordinators, and the Census
Bureau updates all verified changes into
the Master Address File/Topologically
Integrated Geographic Encoding and
Referencing (MAF/TIGER) database. In
the Verification Phase, mapping
coordinators verify that the Census
Bureau accurately and completely
updated the MAF/TIGER database with
updates submitted during the
Annotation Phase.
In the Annotation Phase, mapping
coordinators gather school district
updates from school district
superintendents and other state officials
and use Census Bureau-provided
materials to review and update school
district boundaries, names, codes, and
geographic relationships. The Census
Bureau provides mapping coordinators
with school district listings, spatial data
in shapefile format, blank submission
logs, and Geographic Update
Partnership Software (GUPS). The
school district listings consist of school
district inventories, school names,
levels, grade ranges, and other data
about school districts within their state.
If the mapping coordinator has nonspatial updates (e.g., name changes,
simple consolidations, simple
dissolutions, and others), the mapping
coordinator updates the Census Bureau
provided submission log with those
changes. If a mapping coordinator needs
to perform spatial updates to a school
district boundary, the mapping
coordinator uses Census Bureau
provided GUPS and spatial data to make
updates. GUPS, SDRP version, is a
Census Bureau-created, user-friendly,
free digital mapping tool for mapping
coordinators. It contains all the
functionality necessary for mapping
coordinators to spatially make and
validate their school district updates.
Once mapping coordinators have
reviewed and updated the school
district information for their state, the
mapping coordinator sends it to the
Census Bureau, using Secure Web
Incoming Module (SWIM), a web portal
for uploading SDRP submissions. The
Census Bureau will update the MAF/
TIGER database with the updates sent
by the mapping coordinator. The
Annotation Phase begins for the SDRP
in August/September of each year. The
deadline to submit SDRP Annotation
Phase to Census Bureau is the last
workday in December of each year.
In the Verification Phase, the Census
Bureau sends mapping coordinators
newly created listings and digital files,
and mapping coordinators use the SDRP
verification module in GUPS to review
these files and verify that the Census
Bureau correctly captured their
submitted information. The mapping

coordinator can tag the area of issue and
send the information to the Census
Bureau to make corrections if the
Census Bureau did not incorporate their
boundary changes or other updates
correctly. The Verification Phase begins
and ends for the SDRP during March/
April of each year.

ensures completion of submissions within the SDRP's timeframe. The
respondents for the SDRP are the Title I coordinators and mapping
coordinators from the fifty states and the District of Columbia.
Participants return their updates to the Census Bureau. The Census
Bureau then updates its geographic database with boundary updates from
participants to use the newly updated boundaries to tabulate
statistics.
The Census Bureau requests state officials to review and update the
school district information the Census Bureau has on file, through the
SDRP. The school district information obtained through this program
will assist in forming the Census Bureau's estimates of the number of
children age five through seventeen, in families in poverty, for each

for each state's allocation under Title I of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act as amended by Every Student Succeeds Act of
2015, Public Law 114-95. The U.S. Department of Education uses these
estimates to allocate more than $14 billion in Title I funding
annually.
The SDRP encompasses Type 1 and Type 2 school districts as defined
