Notice for Comment on Two Strategic
Plans for the Subcommittee on
Aquaculture Science Planning and
Regulatory Efficiency Task Forces and
on Updating the National Aquaculture
Development Plan
AGENCY:
Agricultural Research Service,
USDA.
Notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
In October 2018, the SCA
established a Science Planning Task
Force charged with documenting
Federal science and technology
opportunities and priorities for
aquaculture by revising and updating
the National Strategic Plan for Federal
Aquaculture Research (2014–2019).
Similarly, in February 2019, the SCA
established a Regulatory Efficiency Task
Force charged with developing a new
plan for interagency science and
technology coordination to improve
regulatory efficiency, research and
technology development, and economic
growth. The Task Forces are seeking
public comment on Science and
Regulatory Efficiency strategic plans to
determine if their respective topics are
adequately covered. See SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION for more details.
DATES: In the Federal Register of August
5, 2021, FR Doc. 2021–16711. Doc.

In addition, in May of 2020, the SCA
established an Economic Development
Task Force charged with developing a
strategic plan for economic
development through aquaculture.
Separately from SCA, the National
Aquaculture Act of 1980 requires select
federal agencies to develop a National
Aquaculture Development Plan (NADP).
Last completed in 1983, the NADP
describes aquaculture associated
technologies, problems, and
opportunities in the United States and
its territories. It recommends actions to
solve problems and analyzes the social,
environmental, and economic impacts
of growth in aquaculture. The SCA
plans to update the NADP using the
Science and Regulatory Efficiency plans
described here, with the addition of the
Economic Development plan currently
in process.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments are
requested regarding; 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; the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments regarding this information
collection received by October 1, 2021
will be considered. Written comments
and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/

particular information collection by

Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or
by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.

Title: Sugar Imported for Exports as
Refined Sugar, as a Sugar-Containing
Product, or Used in Production of
Certain Polyhydric Alcohols.
OMB Control Number: 0551–0015.
Summary of Collection: The
regulation at 7 CFR part 1530 authorizes
the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS)
to issue import licenses to enter raw
cane sugar exempt from the tariff-rate
quota (TRQ) for the raw cane sugar
imports and related requirements on the
condition that an equivalent quantity of
refined sugar be: (1) Exported as refined
sugar; (2) exported as an ingredient in
sugar containing products; or (3) used in
production of certain polyhydric
alcohols. The information requirements
set forth in the regulation are necessary
to enable FAS to administer the
licensing program in full compliance
with the regulation and to ensure that
licensed imports do not enter the
commercial sugar market in
circumvention of the TRQ for raw cane
sugar.
Need and Use of the Information: FAS
will collect information to verify that
the world-priced sugar is actually
exported and not diverted onto the
domestic market, thereby undermining
the objectives of politically sensitive
U.S. sugar policies. This collection
enables USDA to monitor participants
in an effort to ensure compliance with
program parameters. Without the
collection, there would be increased
opportunity to divert sugar onto the
domestic market.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 333.
Frequency of Responses:
Recordkeeping; Reporting; Quarterly.
Total Burden Hours: 428.
