SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Importation of Pork-Filled Pasta
Products.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0214.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: Under the Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) is authorized,
among other things, to prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals, animal products,
and other articles to prevent the
introduction into and dissemination
within the United States of animal
diseases and pests. To fulfill this
mission, APHIS regulates the
importation of animals and animal
products into the United States. The
regulations are contained in 9 CFR parts
91 through 99.
The regulations in 9 CFR part 94
(referred to below as the regulations)
prohibit or restrict the importation of
specified animals and animal products
into the United States to prevent the
introduction into the U.S. livestock
population of certain contagious animal
diseases, including swine vesicular
disease (SVD). Section 94.12 of the
regulations contains, among other
things, specific processing,
recordkeeping, and certification
requirements for pork-filled pasta
products exported to the United States
from regions affected with SVD.
The regulations require, among other
things, that the pork-filled pasta
products be accompanied by a
certificate stating that the product has
been processed according to the
requirements set forth in the
regulations. This certificate must be
issued and signed by an official of the
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
national government of the region in
which the pork-filled pasta products
were processed.
In addition, the processing facility
where the pork-filled pasta products are
produced must maintain original
records for a minimum of 2 years for
each lot of pork or pork products used.
The records must include the date the
cooked or dry-cured pork product was
received in the processing facility, the
lot number or other identification
marks, the health certificate that
accompanied the cooked or dry-cured
pork from the slaughter/processing
facility to the meat-filled pasta product
processing facility, and the date the
pork or pork product used in the pasta
either started dry-curing (if the product
used is a dry-cured ham) or the date the
product was cooked (if the product used
is a cooked pork product). The records
must also include the number of
packages, the number of hams or cooked
pork products per package, and the
weight of each package. These records
would provide important information in
any trace-back investigation that may
need to be conducted by officials of the
region of origin of the pork-filled pasta
product or by USDA officials.
The regulations also require the
operator of a foreign processing
establishment to enter into a cooperative
service agreement with APHIS stating
that: (1) The establishment agrees to
process pork in accordance with the
regulations; (2) the establishment will
allow APHIS representatives
unannounced entry into the
establishment to inspect the facility,
operations, and records of the
establishment; and (3) the establishment
will pay for the costs of the associated
inspections and be current on the
payments. Any storage room area
reserved for pork or pork products
eligible for export to the United States
must, among other things, be marked by
signs.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, for an
additional 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
E:\FR\FM\08SEN1.SGM
08SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 173 / Thursday, September 8, 2022 / Notices
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
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 1
hour per response.
Respondents: Officials of the national
government of the region in which the
pork-filled pasta is processed and
operators of pork-filled pasta product
processing facilities.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 3.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 2.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 5.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 5 hours. (Due to averaging,
the total annual burden hours may not
equal the product of the annual number
of responses multiplied by the reporting
burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 2nd day of
September 2022.

(‘‘DeLeon’’) was convicted of violating
18 U.S.C. 554(a). Specifically, DeLeon
was convicted of knowingly and
unlawfully concealing, buying or
facilitating the transportation and

the Court sentenced Deleon to 46

of $1,040.
Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the
Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1
the export privileges of any person who
has been convicted of certain offenses,
including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C.
554, may be denied for a period of up
to ten (10) years from the date of his/her
conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e). In
addition, any Bureau of Industry and
Security (‘‘BIS’’) licenses or other
authorizations issued under ECRA, in
which the person had an interest at the
time of the conviction, may be revoked.
Id.
BIS received notice of DeLeon’s
conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. 554.
As provided in Section 766.25 of the
Export Administration Regulations
(‘‘EAR’’ or the ‘‘Regulations’’), BIS
provided notice and opportunity for
DeLeon to make a written submission to
BIS. 15 CFR 766.25.2 BIS has received
and considered a written submission
from DeLeon.
Based upon my review of the record,
including Mr. DeLeon’s written
submission, and consultations with
BIS’s Office of Exporter Services,
including its Director, and the facts
available to BIS, I have decided to deny
DeLeon’s export privileges under the
Regulations for a period of seven years
from the date of DeLeon’s conviction.
The Office of Exporter Services has also
decided to revoke any BIS-issued
licenses in which DeLeon had an
interest at the time of his conviction.3
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:
First, from the date of this Order until
January 21, 2028, Javier Melesio Deleon,
with a last known address of Inmate
