Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 41 / Thursday, March 2, 2023 / Notices
Abstract: Under the Plant Protection
Act (7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.), the Secretary
of Agriculture is authorized, either
independently or in cooperation with
the States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests and noxious weeds that are
new to or not widely distributed within
the United States. This authority has
been delegated to the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
To carry out this mission, APHIS’
Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ)
program has joined forces with the
States and other agencies to create a
program called the Cooperative
Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS). The
CAPS program coordinates efforts
through cooperative agreements with
the States and other agencies to collect
and manage data on plant pests, noxious
weeds, and biological control agents,
which may be used to control plant
pests or noxious weeds.
This program allows the States and
PPQ to conduct surveillance activities to
detect and measure the presence of
exotic plant pests and weeds and to
input surveillance data into a uniform
national system. Among other things,
this allows APHIS to obtain a more
comprehensive picture of plant pest
conditions in the United States.
The CAPS program involves certain
information collection activities, such as
cooperative agreements with workplans
and various financial and disclosure
forms associated with developing the
agreement, pest detection surveys with
data entry, and a form for determination
of specimens.
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
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
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.259 hours per
response.
Respondents: State, university, and
Tribal cooperators participating in
CAPS.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 55.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 258.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 14,176.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 3,669 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 27th day of
February 2023.

Background
Codex was established in 1963 by two
United Nations organizations, the Food
and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and
the World Health Organization (WHO).
Through adoption of food standards,
codes of practice, and other guidelines
developed by its committees, and by
promoting their adoption and
implementation by governments, Codex
seeks to protect the health of consumers
and ensure fair practices in the food
trade.
The Codex Committee on
Contaminants in Foods (CCCF) is
responsible for:
(a) Establishing or endorsing
permitted maximum levels and where
necessary, revising existing guideline
levels, for contaminants and naturally
occurring toxicants in food and feed;
(b) Preparing priority lists of
contaminants and naturally occurring
toxicants for risk assessment by the Joint
FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food
Additives (JEFCA).
(c) Considering and elaborating
methods of analysis and sampling for
the determination of contaminants and
