Abstract: The Scientific Cooperation Research Program (SCRP) was established in 1980 and supports the Borlaug Fellowship Program by utilizing the scientific community’s accumulated knowledge and technologies to develop practical solutions to agricultural trade, market access, animal health, plant health, biotechnology, food safety, food security, and sustainable natural resource management. Since the program’s inception, USDA has sponsored more than 400 projects with about 95 partnering countries. To achieve its objectives, SCRP relies on the solicitation for qualified program applicants through a written application. FAS Posts across the globe provide this application to potential Fellows to assist in determining the adequacy of their candidacy alongside FAS Washington. The application is designed to capture the professional status of the applicant, the applicant’s personal contact information, and the applicant’s suitability for the program. Thus, the SCRP application is an integral tool to Fellowship Programs Division and FAS’ strategic goals at large. In additional to information related to program objectives, the SCRP application collects information that may be considered Personal Identifiable Information (PII), including the following: first name, middle name, last name, gender, salutation, birth date, birth city, citizenship country, country of residence, work phone, permanent VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:55 Oct 26, 2022 Jkt 259001 home address, work address, personal email, work email, and emergency contact information (family contact: name, relationship, home phone, cell phone, and email). Estimate of Burden: The public reporting burden for each respondent resulting from information collection under SCRP varies in direct relation to the number of fellowships that each respondent participates in. Type of Respondents: Individuals. Estimated Number of Respondents: 20 per annum. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1 per annum. Estimated Total Annual Burden of Respondents: 20 hours per annum.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Foreign-Trade Zones Board Background [B–27–2022] Pursuant to section 805 of title VIII of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Softwood Lumber Act of 2008), the Secretary of Commerce is mandated to submit to the appropriate Congressional committees a report every 180 days on any subsidy provided by countries exporting softwood lumber or softwood lumber products to the United States, including stumpage subsidies. Commerce submitted its last subsidy report to the Congress on June 30, 2022. Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 149— Freeport, Texas; Authorization of Production Activity; Maxter Healthcare Inc. (Medical Examination Disposable Gloves); Rosharon, Texas khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES [FR Doc. 2022–23430 Filed 10–26–22; 8:45 am] On June 24, 2022, Port Freeport, grantee of FTZ 149, submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of Maxter Healthcare Inc., within Subzone 149H, in Rosharon, Texas. The notification was processed in accordance with the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR part 400), including notice in the Federal Register inviting public comment (87 FR 40484, July 7, 2022). On October 24, 2022, the applicant was notified of the FTZ Board’s decision that no further review of the activity is warranted at this time. The production activity described in the notification was authorized, subject to the FTZ Act and the FTZ Board’s regulations, including section 400.14. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:55 Oct 26, 2022 Jkt 259001 Request for Comments Given the large number of countries that export softwood lumber and softwood lumber products to the United States, we are soliciting public comment only on subsidies provided by countries which had exports accounting for at least one percent of total U.S. imports of softwood lumber by quantity, as classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) codes 4407.1100, 4407.1200, 4407.1300, 4407.1400, and 4407.1900, during the period January 1, 2022, through June 30, PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65031 2022.1 Official U.S. import data, published by the United States International Trade Commission’s DataWeb, indicate that six countries (Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Romania, and Sweden) exported softwood lumber to the United States during that time period in amounts sufficient to account for at least one percent of U.S. imports of softwood lumber products. We intend to rely on similar six-month periods to identify the countries subject to future reports on softwood lumber subsidies. For example, we will rely on U.S. imports of softwood lumber and softwood lumber products during the period July 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022, to select the countries subject for the next report. Under U.S. trade law, a subsidy exists where an authority: (i) provides a financial contribution; (ii) provides any form of income or price support within the meaning of article XVI of the GATT 1994; or (iii) makes a payment to a funding mechanism to provide a financial contribution to a person, or entrusts or directs a private entity to make a financial contribution, if providing the contribution would normally be vested in the government and the practice does not differ in substance from practices normally followed by governments, and a benefit is thereby conferred.2 Parties should include in their comments: (1) the country which provided the subsidy; (2) the name of the subsidy program; (3) a brief description (no more than 3–4 sentences) of the subsidy program; and (4) the government body or authority that provided the subsidy. Submission of Comments As specified above, to be assured of consideration, comments must be received no later than 30 days after the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. All comments must be submitted through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https:// www.regulations.gov, Docket No. ITA– 2022–0011. The materials in the docket will not be edited to remove identifying or contact information, and Commerce cautions against including any information in an electronic submission that the submitter does not want publicly disclosed. Attachments to electronic comments will be accepted in 1 We previously queried HTSUS codes 4407.1001, 4407.1905, 4407.1906, 4407.1910. However, those codes were deactivated and replaced by codes included in the import data query for the period January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022. 2 See section 771(5)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
