OMB Control Number: 0579–0124. Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information collection. Abstract: Under the authority of the Federal Seed Act (FSA) of 1939, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1551 et seq.), the U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates the importation and interstate movement of certain agricultural and vegetable seeds and screenings. Title III of the FSA, ‘‘Foreign Commerce,’’ requires shipments of imported agricultural and vegetable seeds to be labeled correctly and to be tested for the presence of the seeds of certain noxious weeds as a condition of entry into the United States. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS’) regulations implementing the provisions of Title III of the FSA are found in 7 CFR part 361. The regulations in 7 CFR part 361, ‘‘Importation of Seed and Screenings under the Federal Seed Act’’ (§§ 361.1 to 361.10, referred to below as the regulations), prohibit or restrict the importation of agricultural seed, vegetable seed, and screenings into the United States. Section 361.7 provides the regulations for special provisions for Canadian-origin seed and screenings, and § 361.8 provides the regulations for the cleaning of imported seed and processing of certain Canadian-origin screenings. APHIS’ Plant Protection and Quarantine program operates a seed analysis program with Canada that allows U.S. companies that import seed for cleaning or processing to enter into compliance agreements with APHIS. This program eliminates the need for sampling shipments of Canadian-origin seed at the U.S.-Canadian border and allows certain seed importers to clean the seed without direct supervision of an APHIS inspector. The program provides a safe and expedited process for the importation of seed and screenings into the United States without posing a plant pest or noxious weed risk. The seed analysis program involves the use of information collection activities, including a compliance agreement, seed analysis certificate, declaration for importation, container labeling, notification of seed location, a seed return request, seed identity maintenance, documentation for U.S. origin exported seed returned to the United States, written appeal for cancellation of a compliance agreement and request for a hearing, and associated recordkeeping. We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve our use of these information VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:45 Apr 10, 2023 Jkt 259001 collection activities 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 0.36 hours per response. Respondents: Commercial importers, seed cleaning/processing facility personnel, seed laboratory personnel, and government food inspection agency officials. Estimated annual number of respondents: 1,153. Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 23. Estimated annual number of responses: 27,041. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 9,632 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 5th day of April 2023. Michael Watson, Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ACTION: Notice. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is issuing this notice to increase the fiscal year 2023 (FY23) overall sugar marketing allotment quantity (OAQ); increase beet and State cane sugar allotments; revise company allocations to sugar beet and sugar cane processors; and reassign beet and cane sugar marketing allocations to raw cane sugar imports already anticipated. These actions apply to all domestic beet and cane sugar marketed for human consumption in the United States from October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kent Lanclos; telephone, (202) 720–0114; or email, kent.lanclos@usda.gov. Individuals who require alternative means for communication should contact the USDA Target Center at (202) 720–2600 (voice and text telephone (TTY)) or dial 711 for Telecommunications Relay Service (both voice and text telephone users can initiate this call from any telephone). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 30, 2022, USDA announced the initial FY23 OAQ, which was established at 10,646,250 short tons, raw value, (STRV) equal to 85 percent of the estimated quantity of sugar for domestic human consumption for the fiscal year of 12,525,000 STRV as forecast in the September 2022 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report (WASDE). The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (Pub. L. 75–430) requires that 54.35 percent of the OAQ be distributed among beet processors and 45.65 percent be distributed among the sugarcane States and cane processors. In the March 2023 WASDE release, USDA increased the FY23 estimate of sugar consumption for food use to 12,600,000 STRV. As a result, USDA is increasing the FY23 OAQ to 10,710,000 STRV. The revised beet sector allotment is 5,820,885 STRV (an increase of 34,648) and the revised cane sector allotment is 4,889,115 STRV (an increase of 29,102). The revised beet and cane sector allotments are distributed to individual processors according to statutory formulas as shown in the table below (see the column labeled ‘‘Preliminary Revised Allocation’’). In accordance with section 359e of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1359ee), after evaluating each sugar beet processor’s ability to market its full allocation, USDA is transferring FY23 allocations from sugar beet processors with surplus allocation to those with deficit allocation listed in the table below. USDA has also determined SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM 11APN1 21605 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 11, 2023 / Notices that domestic beet sugar supplies are inadequate to fill the FY23 beet sugar marketing allotment. In accordance with 7 U.S.C. 1359ee(b)(2), USDA is reassigning 250,000 STRV of the deficit to raw cane sugar imports already anticipated, given the absence of any Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) stocks of sugar. In the table below, each sugar beet processor’s allocation following these changes is shown in the column labeled ‘‘Revised FY23 Allocations’’ and the amount of change in each processor’s allocation in the column labeled ‘‘Reassigned Amount.’’ In accordance with section 7 U.S.C. 1359ee(b)(1), after evaluating each sugarcane processor’s ability to market its full allocation, USDA is transferring FY23 allocations from sugarcane processors with surplus allocation to those with deficit allocation in the table below. USDA has also determined that domestic cane sugar supplies are inadequate to fill the FY23 cane sugar marketing allotment. In accordance with 7 U.S.C. 1359ee(b)(1), USDA is reassigning 500,000 STRV of the deficit to raw cane sugar imports already anticipated, given the absence of any CCC stocks of sugar. In the table, each sugarcane processor’s allocation following these changes is shown in the column labeled ‘‘Revised FY23 Allocations’’ and the amount of change in each processor’s allocation in the column labeled ‘‘Reassigned Amount.’’ FY23 REVISED BEET AND CANE ALLOTMENTS AND ALLOCATIONS * [Short tons, raw value] Initial FY23 allocations Distribution Allocation increase Preliminary revised allocations Reassigned amount Revised FY23 allocations Beet Sugar ...........................................................................

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on the results of verification, we made certain changes to Hyundai’s countervailable subsidy rate calculations from the Preliminary Results. Background Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this administrative review on October 6, 2022.1 For a description of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.2 Scope of the Order 3 The merchandise covered by this Order is cold-rolled steel. For a complete description of the scope of this Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in interested parties’ case briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum accompanying this notice. A list of the issues raised by parties, and to which Commerce responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is provided in appendix I to this notice.

Verification As provided in section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), in September 2022, Commerce conducted an on-site verification of the subsidy information reported by 1 See Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2020, 87 FR 60653 (October 6, 2022) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM). 2 See Memorandum, ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results and Partial Rescission of the 2020 Administrative Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Products from the Republic of Korea,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). 3 See Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from Brazil, India, and the Republic of Korea: Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Countervailing Duty Order (the Republic of Korea) and Countervailing Duty Orders (Brazil and India), 81 FR 64436 (September 20, 2016) (Order). PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Methodology Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.5 For a description of the methodology underlying all of Commerce’s conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Companies Not Selected for Individual Review The statute and Commerce’s regulations do not directly address the countervailing duty (CVD) rates to be applied to companies not selected for individual examination where Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(e)(2) of the Act. However, Commerce normally determines the rates for non-selected companies in reviews in a manner that is consistent with section 705(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation. Section 777A(e)(2) of the Act provides that ‘‘the individual countervailable subsidy rates determined under subparagraph (A) shall be used to determine the all-others rate under section 705(c)(5) {of the Act}.’’ Section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that for companies not investigated, in general, we will determine an all-others rate by weight-averaging the countervailable subsidy rates established for each of the companies individually investigated, excluding zero and de minimis rates or any rates based solely on the facts available. Accordingly, to determine the rate for companies not selected for individual examination, Commerce’s practice is to 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Verification of the Questionnaire Responses of Hyundai Steel Company,’’ dated December 1, 2022. 5 See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.

Domestic Sugar Program--2023 Cane Sugar Marketing Allotments and 
Cane and Beet Processor Allocations

AGENCY: Commodity Credit Corporation, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is issuing 
this notice to increase the fiscal year 2023 (FY23) overall sugar 
marketing allotment quantity (OAQ); increase beet and State cane sugar 
allotments; revise company allocations to sugar beet and sugar cane 
processors; and reassign beet and cane sugar marketing allocations to 
raw cane sugar imports already anticipated. These actions apply to all 
domestic beet and cane sugar marketed for human consumption in the 
United States from October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kent Lanclos; telephone, (202) 720-
0114; or email, [email protected]. Individuals who require 
alternative means for communication should contact the USDA Target 
Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and text telephone (TTY)) or dial 711 
for Telecommunications Relay Service (both voice and text telephone 
users can initiate this call from any telephone).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 30, 2022, USDA announced the 
initial FY23 OAQ, which was established at 10,646,250 short tons, raw 
value, (STRV) equal to 85 percent of the estimated quantity of sugar 
for domestic human consumption for the fiscal year of 12,525,000 STRV 
as forecast in the September 2022 World Agricultural Supply and Demand 
Estimates report (WASDE). The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 (Pub. 
L. 75-430) requires that 54.35 percent of the OAQ be distributed among 
beet processors and 45.65 percent be distributed among the sugarcane 
States and cane processors.
    In the March 2023 WASDE release, USDA increased the FY23 estimate 
of sugar consumption for food use to 12,600,000 STRV. As a result, USDA 
is increasing the FY23 OAQ to 10,710,000 STRV. The revised beet sector 
allotment is 5,820,885 STRV (an increase of 34,648) and the revised 
cane sector allotment is 4,889,115 STRV (an increase of 29,102). The 
revised beet and cane sector allotments are distributed to individual 
processors according to statutory formulas as shown in the table below 
(see the column labeled ``Preliminary Revised Allocation'').
    In accordance with section 359e of the Agricultural Adjustment Act 
of 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1359ee), after evaluating each sugar beet processor's 
ability to market its full allocation, USDA is transferring FY23 
allocations from sugar beet processors with surplus allocation to those 
with deficit allocation listed in the table below. USDA has also 
determined

[[Page 21605]]

that domestic beet sugar supplies are inadequate to fill the FY23 beet 
sugar marketing allotment.
    In accordance with 7 U.S.C. 1359ee(b)(2), USDA is reassigning 
250,000 STRV of the deficit to raw cane sugar imports already 
anticipated, given the absence of any Commodity Credit Corporation 
(CCC) stocks of sugar. In the table below, each sugar beet processor's 
allocation following these changes is shown in the column labeled 
``Revised FY23 Allocations'' and the amount of change in each 
processor's allocation in the column labeled ``Reassigned Amount.''
    In accordance with section 7 U.S.C. 1359ee(b)(1), after evaluating 
each sugarcane processor's ability to market its full allocation, USDA 
is transferring FY23 allocations from sugarcane processors with surplus 
allocation to those with deficit allocation in the table below. USDA 
has also determined that domestic cane sugar supplies are inadequate to 
fill the FY23 cane sugar marketing allotment.
    In accordance with 7 U.S.C. 1359ee(b)(1), USDA is reassigning 
500,000 STRV of the deficit to raw cane sugar imports already 
anticipated, given the absence of any CCC stocks of sugar. In the 
table, each sugarcane processor's allocation following these changes is 
shown in the column labeled ``Revised FY23 Allocations'' and the amount 
of change in each processor's allocation in the column labeled 
``Reassigned Amount.''

    These FY23 sugar marketing allotment program actions will not 
prevent any domestic sugarcane or sugar beet processor from marketing 
all of its FY23 sugar supply. USDA will closely monitor stocks, 
consumption, imports, and all sugar market and program variables on an 
ongoing basis and may make further program adjustments during FY23, if 
needed.
