Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 21, 2021 / Rules and Regulations For reasons stated in the preamble, AMS amends 7 CFR part 1205 as follows: PART 1205—COTTON RESEARCH AND PROMOTION 1. The authority citation for part 1205 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2101–2118; 7 U.S.C 7401. 2. Section 1205.27 is revised to read as follows: ■ lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 § 1205.27 period. Participation in the sign-up The sign-up period will be from June 21, 2021, until July 2, 2021, and October 18, 2021, until October 29, 2021. Those persons who favor the conduct of a continuance referendum and who wish to request that Department of Agriculture (USDA) conduct such a referendum may do so by submitting such request in accordance with this section. All requests must be received by the appropriate USDA office by October 29, 2021. (a) Before the sign-up period begins, FSA shall establish a list of known, eligible, Upland cotton producers in the county that it serves during the representative period, and AMS shall also establish a list of known, eligible Upland cotton importers. (b) Before the start of the sign-up period, Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) will post sign-up information, including sign-up forms, on its website: https://www.ams.usda.gov/Cotton. Importers who favor the conduct of a continuance referendum can download a form from the website, or request a sign-up form by contacting CottonRP@ usda.gov or (540) 361–2726 and one will be provided to them. Importers may participate in the sign-up period by submitting a signed, written request for a continuance referendum, along with a copy of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection form 7501 showing payment of a cotton assessment for calendar year 2020. The USDA, AMS, Cotton and Tobacco Program, Attention: Cotton Sign-Up, P.O. Box 23181, Washington, DC 20077–8249 shall be considered the polling place for all cotton importers. All requests and supporting documents must be received by October 29, 2021. (c) Each person on the county FSA office lists may participate in the signup period. Eligible producers must date and sign their name on the ‘‘County FSA Office Sign-up Sheet.’’ A person whose name does not appear on the county FSA office list may participate in the sign-up period. Such person must be identified on FSA–578 during the representative period or provide VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:53 Sep 20, 2021 Jkt 253001 documentation that demonstrates that the person was a cotton producer during the representative period. Cotton producers not listed on the FSA–578 shall submit at least one sales receipt for cotton they planted during the representative period. Cotton producers must make requests to the county FSA office where the producer’s farm is located. If the producer’s land is in more than one county, the producer shall make request at the county office where FSA administratively maintains and processes the producer’s farm records. It is the responsibility of the person to provide the information needed by the county FSA office to determine eligibility. It is not the responsibility of the county FSA office to obtain this information. If any person whose name does not appear on the county FSA office list fails to provide at least one sales receipt for the cotton they produced during the representative period, the county FSA office shall determine that such person is ineligible to participate in the sign-up period, and shall note ‘‘ineligible’’ in the remarks section next to the person’s name on the county FSA office sign-up sheet. In lieu of personally appearing at a county FSA office, eligible producers may request a sign-up form from the county FSA office where the producer’s farm is located. If the producer’s land is in more than one county, the producer shall make the request for the sign-up form at the county office where FSA administratively maintains and processes the producer’s farm records. Such request must be accompanied by a copy of at least one sales receipt for cotton they produced during the representative period. The appropriate FSA office must receive all completed forms and supporting documentation by October 29, 2021. ■ 3. In § 1205.28, the first sentence is revised to read as follows: § 1205.28 Counting. County FSA offices and FSA, Deputy Administrator for Field Operations (DAFO), shall begin counting requests no later than October 29, 2021. * * ■ 4. Section 1205.29 is revised to read as follows: § 1205.29 Reporting results. (a) Each county FSA office shall prepare and transmit to the state FSA office, by November 5, 2021, a written report of the number of eligible producers who requested the conduct of a referendum and the number of ineligible persons who made requests. (b) DAFO shall prepare, by November 5, 2021, a written report of the number of eligible importers who requested the PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 52399 conduct of a referendum and the number of ineligible persons who made requests. (c) Each state FSA office shall, by November 5, 2021, forward all county reports to DAFO. By November 12, 2021, DAFO shall forward its report of the total number of eligible producers and importers that requested a continuance referendum, through the sign-up period, to the Deputy Administrator, Cotton and Tobacco Program, Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA, 100 Riverside Parkway, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, Virginia 22406.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: In this final rule, NESDIS establishes a new schedule of fees for special access to NOAA data, information, and related products and services. NOAA continues to make its environmental data available to the public without any fee in most instances, primarily via NOAA’s Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS). NESDIS is revising the fee schedule that has been in effect since 2019 to ensure that the fees accurately reflect the costs of providing access to the environmental data, information, and related products and services. NESDIS is authorized to assess fees, up to fair market value, depending upon the user and intended use, for access to environmental data, information, and products derived from, collected, and/or archived by NOAA.

SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\21SER1.SGM 21SER1 52400 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 21, 2021 / Rules and Regulations SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background NESDIS operates NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). Through NCEI, NESDIS provides and ensures timely access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources, provides information services, and develops science products. NESDIS maintains some 1,300 databases containing over 2,400 environmental variables at NCEI and 7 World Data Centers. These centers respond to over 2,000,000 requests for these data and products annually from over 70 countries, the vast majority of which are fulfilled at no fee to the requestor via NOAA CLASS. This collection of environmental data and products is growing rapidly, both in size and sophistication, and as a result the associated costs have increased. If CLASS is unable to meet a user’s need, users have the ability to access the special data products described in the table below offline, online and through the NESDIS e-Commerce System (NeS) online store. Our ability to provide these special data, information, products and services depends on user fees. New Fee Schedule In this final rule, NESDIS establishes a new schedule of fees for access to these special data, information, and related products and services. NESDIS is revising the fee schedule that has been in effect since 2019 to ensure that the fees accurately reflect the costs of providing access to the environmental data, information, and related products and services. The new fee schedule lists both the current fee charged for each item and the new fee to be charged to users that will take effect October 21, 2021. The schedule applies to the listed services provided by NESDIS on or after this date, except for products and services covered by a subscription agreement in effect as of this date that extends beyond this date. In those cases, the increased fees will apply upon renewal of the subscription agreement or at the earliest amendment date provided by the agreement. NESDIS will continue to review these user fees periodically, and will revise such fees as necessary. Any future changes in the user fees and their effective date will be announced through notice in the Federal Register. Classification This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of E.O. 12866. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking and the opportunity for public participation are inapplicable because this rule falls within the public property exception of subparagraph (a)(2) of section 553, as it relates only to the assessment of fees, as authorized by 15 U.S.C. 1534. Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553 or by any other law, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly, no Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is required and none has been prepared. List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 950 Organization and functions (Government agencies).

Major provisions include: • The scope and definitions; • who may initiate proceedings to establish an import tolerance; • contents of a submission requesting establishment of an import tolerance; • sources of data and information supporting the safety of a proposed import tolerance; • Agency procedures for establishment, amendment, or revocation of an import tolerance; • public disclosure of import tolerance-related actions (actions under consideration, establishment, amendment, or revocation); and • environmental impact assessment of import tolerance-related actions. In addition, conforming amendments are being made in §§ 10.25, 20.100, 25.20, 500.80, 500.82, 500.88, and 500.92 (21 CFR 10.25, 20.100, 25.20, 500.80, 500.82, 500.88, and 500.92). A technical amendment is being made in § 10.25 (21 CFR 10.25) to include food additive petitions under 21 CFR 571.1 in the non-exhaustive list of petitions specified in FDA regulations. The procedures and food safety criteria in the final rule are fundamentally the same as in the proposed rule; however, the final rule has been minimally reorganized to clarify that import tolerances established at the Commissioner’s initiative follow the same procedures as those established at the request of an interested person. We have also made nonsubstantive wording changes for clarity. C. Legal Authority Our authority for issuing this final rule is provided by the new animal drug provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) by which we establish tolerances for residues of new animal drugs and under provisions of the FD&C Act that give the Agency general rulemaking authority to issue regulations for the efficient enforcement of the FD&C Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    NESDIS operates NOAA's National Centers for Environmental 
Information (NCEI). Through NCEI, NESDIS provides and ensures timely 
access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources, 
provides information services, and develops science products.
    NESDIS maintains some 1,300 databases containing over 2,400 
environmental variables at NCEI and 7 World Data Centers. These centers 
respond to over 2,000,000 requests for these data and products annually 
from over 70 countries, the vast majority of which are fulfilled at no 
fee to the requestor via NOAA CLASS. This collection of environmental 
data and products is growing rapidly, both in size and sophistication, 
and as a result the associated costs have increased.
    If CLASS is unable to meet a user's need, users have the ability to 
access the special data products described in the table below offline, 
online and through the NESDIS e-Commerce System (NeS) online store. Our 
ability to provide these special data, information, products and 
services depends on user fees.

New Fee Schedule

    In this final rule, NESDIS establishes a new schedule of fees for 
access to these special data, information, and related products and 
services. NESDIS is revising the fee schedule that has been in effect 
since 2019 to ensure that the fees accurately reflect the costs of 
providing access to the environmental data, information, and related 
products and services. The new fee schedule lists both the current fee 
charged for each item and the new fee to be charged to users that will 
take effect October 21, 2021. The schedule applies to the listed 
services provided by NESDIS on or after this date, except for products 
and services covered by a subscription agreement in effect as of this 
date that extends beyond this date. In those cases, the increased fees 
will apply upon renewal of the subscription agreement or at the 
earliest amendment date provided by the agreement.
    NESDIS will continue to review these user fees periodically, and 
will revise such fees as necessary. Any future changes in the user fees 
and their effective date will be announced through notice in the 
Federal Register.

Classification

    This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of 
E.O. 12866. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 
U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking and the opportunity 
for public participation are inapplicable because this rule falls 
within the public property exception of subparagraph (a)(2) of section 
553, as it relates only to the assessment of fees, as authorized by 15 
U.S.C. 1534. Further, no other law requires that a notice of proposed 
rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment be given for this 
rule. Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for 
public comment are not required to be given for this rule under 5 
U.S.C. 553 or by any other law, the requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are not applicable. Accordingly, 
no Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is required and none has been 
prepared.
