Title: Contractor Employee Biographical Data Sheet corresponding to AIDAR 752.7001. Type of Review: Reinstatement, without change, for a previously approved collection for which approval has expired. The affected public who will be asked or required to respond are Offerors responding to contract solicitations and contractors.

The amount of time estimated to complete each response varies by item. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collections is 43,943. An estimate of the total public burden (in cost) associated with the collection is $4,054,200. Note that while the burden for these information collections falls on the public, most of the submissions are reimbursable either directly or indirectly under Agency contracts, the cost for most of these collections falls under the federal cost burden. Thus, the estimated total public cost burden not reimbursed through Agency contracts is $57,570.24. Discussion of Comment: One comment was received regarding the Federal Register Notice published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2021 at 86 FR 12901. The commenter recommended increasing the form block size. He also pointed out that the time needed to complete the form on the form itself doesn’t match the time provided on the agency’s supporting statement. USAID considered the public comment and determined that the response box size on the form is adequate. USAID did not find any inconsistencies on the Bio-data form. No changes to the form were made as a result of the public comment. Mark A. Walther, Senior Procurement Executive.

AGENCY: This action is being taken under the authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as amended (AMA). The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is revising the method of interpretation for the determination of whole peas in the Pea and Lentil Inspection Handbook pertaining to the class ‘‘Split Peas,’’ in the U.S. Standards for Split Peas. Stakeholders in the pea processing/ handling industry requested that AMS amend the interpretation of ‘‘whole peas’’ in the Split Pea inspection instructions by increasing the percent tolerance for the factor whole peas. DATES: Applicability date: June 15, 2021. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Loren Almond, USDA AMS; Telephone: (816) 702–3925; Email: Loren.L.Almond@usda.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the authority of the AMA (7 U.S.C. 1621– 1627), as amended, AMS establishes and maintains a variety of quality and grade standards for agricultural commodities that serve as a fundamental starting point to define commodity quality in the domestic and global marketplace. Standards developed under the AMA include those for rice, whole dry peas, split peas, feed peas, lentils, and beans. The U.S. Standards for whole dry peas, split peas, feed peas, lentils and beans no longer appear in the Code of Federal Regulations but are now maintained by USDA–AMS–Federal Grain Inspection Service (AMS–FGIS). The U.S. Standards for split peas are voluntary and widely used in private contracts, government procurement, marketing communication, and for some commodities, consumer information. The split pea standards facilitate pea marketing and define U.S. pea quality in the domestic and global marketplace. The standards define commonly used industry terms; contain basic principles governing the application of standards SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\15JNN1.SGM 15JNN1
