SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Foreign Agricultural Service, under a delegation of authority from the Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs, administers the Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing Regulation codified at 7 CFR 6.20–6.36 that provides for the issuance of licenses to import certain dairy articles under tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) as set forth in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of the United States. These dairy articles may only be entered into the United States at the low-tier SUMMARY: tariff by or for the account of a person or firm to whom such licenses have been issued and only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the regulation. Licenses are issued on a calendar year basis, and each license authorizes the license holder to import a specified quantity and type of dairy article from a specified country of origin. The Imports Program, Foreign Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, issues these licenses and, in conjunction with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, monitors their use. The regulation at 7 CFR 6.34(a) states that whenever a historical license (Appendix 1) is permanently surrendered, revoked by the Licensing Authority, or not issued to an applicant pursuant to the provisions of § 6.23, then the amount of such license will be transferred to Appendix 2. Section 6.34(b) provides that the cumulative annual transfers will be published by notice in the Federal Register. Accordingly, this document sets forth the revised Appendices in the table below. Although there are no changes to the quantities for designated licenses (Appendix 3 and Appendix 4), those numbers are also included in the table below for completeness.

OMB Control Number: 0524–0036. Expiration Date of Current Approval: 10/31/2025. Type of Request: Notice of intent to extend and revise a currently approved information collection. Abstract: The ‘‘NIFA Reporting System’’ (NRS), provides data management and reporting for capacity funded research projects and extension programs. NRS currently contains the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998 (AREERA) (7 U.S.C. 7601 et seq.) Plans of Work, Annual Reports of Accomplishments, and other capacity grant data for research projects and extension programs. The programs are authorized pursuant to the authorities contained in the McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Act of 1962 (16 U.S.C. 582a et seq.), the Hatch Act of 1887 and the Hatch Multistate Research Fund (7 U.S.C. 361a and 361c), the Agricultural Extension at 1890 LandGrant Institutions (7 U.S.C. 3221), Agricultural research at 1890 land-grant colleges (7 U.S.C. 3222), Animal Health and Disease Research (7 U.S.C. 3195), Renewable Resources Extension Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 1674), District of Columbia Public Post-secondary Education Reorganization Act (DC ST Section 38–1202.09), and the SmithLever Act (7 U.S.C. 341). NIFA proposes to add a new financial module within NRS comprised of two separate forms: the Financial Report form and the Office of Grants and Financial Management (OGFM) supplemental information form. The Financial Report form will capture expenditures for individual research projects and extension programs and will allow for both individual and bulk data entry options. This reporting would include NIFA, other federal, state, and other funding expenditures and Full Time Equivalents (FTE) supporting the project/program during the fiscal year of reporting. The OGFM Supplemental Information Form will collect information on PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 required target percentages for integrated and extension programs required to submit this information as part of AREERA reporting requirements. NIFA plans to prepopulate some of the fields in the form so that the response will be limited to total expenditures of three types (Hatch (Regular and Multistate) integrated, Smith-Lever multistate, and Smith-Lever extension activities), any carryover used, and information for a waiver (if applicable). NIFA also proposes to modify the Project/Program Initiation report to include a new optional field for CoProject Directors. Finally, NIFA also seeks to modify the Project/Program Results report to include a new field for digital persistent identifiers associated with products resulting from capacity funded research projects and extension programs. Total Estimate of the Burden: The estimated annual reporting burden for the NRS collection is as follows: I. Plan of Work The total annual estimated burden for this information collection is 4,800 hours. This includes the time needed for participant education; data entry, aggregation, and reporting; and preparation, review, and submission of program plans and budgetary information. There are four components of the Plan of Work: Executive Summary, Merit and Scientific Peer Review Processes, Stakeholder Input, and Critical Issues. Estimate of Burden: Estimated Number of Respondents: 75 per year. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Estimated Burden per Response: 64 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 4,800 hours. Frequency of Responses: Annually. II. Annual Report of Accomplishments and Results The total annual estimated burden for this information collection is 4,800 hours. This includes the time needed for participant education; data entry, E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM 31AUN1

Adjustment of Appendices Under the Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import 
Licensing Regulation

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the transfer of amounts for certain 
dairy articles from the historical license category (Appendix 1) to the 
lottery (nonhistorical) license category (Appendix 2) pursuant to the 
Dairy Tariff-Rate Quota Import Licensing regulations for the 2023 quota 
year.

DATES: August 31, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Riley, (202) 720-6868, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Foreign Agricultural Service, under a 
delegation of authority from the Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign 
Agricultural Affairs, administers the Dairy Tariff-Rate Import Quota 
Licensing Regulation codified at 7 CFR 6.20-6.36 that provides for the 
issuance of licenses to import certain dairy articles under tariff-rate 
quotas (TRQs) as set forth in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of 
the United States. These dairy articles may only be entered into the 
United States at the low-tier tariff by or for the account of a person 
or firm to whom such licenses have been issued and only in accordance 
with the terms and conditions of the regulation.
    Licenses are issued on a calendar year basis, and each license 
authorizes the license holder to import a specified quantity and type 
of dairy article from a specified country of origin. The Imports 
Program, Foreign Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 
issues these licenses and, in conjunction with U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, monitors their use.
    The regulation at 7 CFR 6.34(a) states that whenever a historical 
license (Appendix 1) is permanently surrendered, revoked by the 
Licensing Authority, or not issued to an applicant pursuant to the 
provisions of Sec.  6.23, then the amount of such license will be 
transferred to Appendix 2. Section 6.34(b) provides that the cumulative 
annual transfers will be published by notice in the Federal Register. 
Accordingly, this document sets forth the revised Appendices in the 
table below. Although there are no changes to the quantities for 
designated licenses (Appendix 3 and Appendix 4), those numbers are also 
included in the table below for completeness.
