SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES ADDRESSES: Background The Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.), first enacted in 1900 and significantly amended in 1981, is the United States’ oldest wildlife protection VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:22 May 30, 2024 Jkt 262001 statute. The Act combats trafficking in illegally taken wildlife, fish, or plants. The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, effective May 22, 2008, amended the Lacey Act by expanding its protection to a broader range of plants and plant products (section 8204, Prevention of Illegal Logging Practices). The Lacey Act now makes it unlawful to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire, or purchase in interstate or foreign commerce any plant, with some limited exceptions, taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of any law of the United States or an Indian tribe, or in violation of any State or foreign law that protects plants or that regulates certain specified plantrelated activities. The Lacey Act also now makes it unlawful to make or submit any false record, account, or label for, or any false identification of, any plant. In addition, section 3 of the Lacey Act, as amended, makes it unlawful, beginning December 15, 2008, to import certain plants, including plant products, without an import declaration. The declaration must contain the scientific name of the plant, value of the importation, quantity of the plant, and name of the country from which the plant was harvested. For paper and paperboard products containing recycled content, the declaration also must include the average percent of recycled content without regard for species or country of harvest. The plant import declaration requirement does not apply to plants used exclusively as packaging material to support, protect, or carry another item, unless the packaging material itself is the item being imported. Currently, enforcement of the declaration requirement is being phased in, as described in four notices we published in the Federal Register,1 the first on February 3, 2009 (74 FR 5911–5913, Docket No. APHIS–2008– 0119), the second on September 2, 2009 (74 FR 45415–45418, Docket No. APHIS–2008–0119), the third on February 6, 2015 (80 FR 6681–6683, Docket No. APHIS–2008–0119), and the fourth on July 2, 2021 (86 FR 35259– 35261, Docket No. APHIS–2008–0119). In our February 2009 notice, we committed to providing affected individuals and industry with at least 6 months’ notice for any products that would be added to the phase-in schedule. The phased-in enforcement schedule began April 1, 2009. The most recent phase (VI) began on October 1, 2021. The enforcement schedule is 1 To view these notices and the comments we received, go to https://www.regulations.gov and enter APHIS–2008–0119 in the Search field.

We continue to consider the applicability of the declaration requirement to products not included in the current phase-in schedule and we invite public comment on how the declaration requirement should be enforced as to these products. Phase VII of the enforcement schedule, which would begin on December 1, 2024, is described below. We invite public comment on the products covered under this phase of the plan, as well as on whether any additional Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) chapters should be included in the current phase-in schedule. Should there be additions to phase VII, we intend to provide at least 6 months’ notice to persons and industries affected by those changes to facilitate compliance with the new requirements. Changes will be announced in the Federal Register. For the full description of the HTS chapters, please refer to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule at usitc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Assignment and Joint Payment Elections. Forms: CCC–36, ‘‘Assignment of Payment;’’ CCC–37, ‘‘Joint Payment Authorization;’’ and–FPAC–FMD–12 Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Hardship Waiver Request. OMB Control Number: 0560–0183. Expiration Date of Approval: August 31, 2024. Type of Request: Revision and extension of a currently approved information collection request. Abstract: FSA and CCC are requesting an extension with a revision of the currently approved information. Section 8(g) of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act (16 U.S.C. 590h(g)) authorizes producers to assign FSA conservation program payments in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary. The Assignment of Payments regulation as specified in 7 CFR part 1404 requires that any such assignment be signed by both the assignor and the assignee. The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, extends that authority to CCC programs, including rice, feed grains, cotton, and wheat. The Natural Conservation Service (NRCS) is also using the forms, DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 but most NRCS programs are exempt from the PRA. Producers (Assignors) use form CCC– 36–Assignment of Payment to assign payments under various CCC, FSA, or NRCS programs. Customers may submit a completed CCC–36 to any FSA and NRCS County Office to be entered into the Financial Services application or the NRCS ProTracts web application. County Office data entry requires a second user for verification. The second user may be located in the same County Office or another Office. When there is no second user available, an employee from another County Office may perform this action by submitting a faxed copy of the form. Producers use form CCC–37–Joint Payment Authorization to make program payments from the CCC or FSA jointly payable to multiple entities. They must submit the form in hard copy or electronically to the FSA County office that retains copies for the producer and joint payee. No fax is allowed for this form. There are no regulations governing joint payments (CCC–37–Joint Payment Authorization), but this service is offered as a result of public requests for the type of payment option. Customers may use the form FPAC FMD–12, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Hardship Waiver Request for FSA. Payments of Federal Benefits by Check to invoke a hardship waiver payment. In accordance with Treasury Regulation 31 CFR 208, Payments by electronic funds transfer (EFT) are not required for anyone over the age of 90 born prior to May 1, 1921. The hardship waiver request can currently be submitted either in person or by phone call to the local county FSA office by entering the waiver request in the Financial Service application for the following reasons: Geographic Barrier or Mental Impairment. The differences in the forms are that FSA use a tax identification number instead of a social security number. Most NRCS programs and some FSA programs are exempt from the Paperwork Reduction Act. In the information collection request, the number of responses and respondents decreased by 262,107 and the burden hours also decreased by 43,725 which were all due to fewer producers or farmers participating in several programs such as the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), Wildfires and Hurricanes Indemnity Program, and other FSA programs. The forms of CCC–251 and CCC–252 were removed from the collection due to less than 10 respondents using each form. E:\FR\FM\31MYN1.SGM 31MYN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.), first enacted in 1900 and 
significantly amended in 1981, is the United States' oldest wildlife 
protection statute. The Act combats trafficking in illegally taken 
wildlife, fish, or plants. The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 
2008, effective May 22, 2008, amended the Lacey Act by expanding its 
protection to a broader range of plants and plant products (section 
8204, Prevention of Illegal Logging Practices). The Lacey Act now makes 
it unlawful to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire, or 
purchase in interstate or foreign commerce any plant, with some limited 
exceptions, taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of any 
law of the United States or an Indian tribe, or in violation of any 
State or foreign law that protects plants or that regulates certain 
specified plant-related activities. The Lacey Act also now makes it 
unlawful to make or submit any false record, account, or label for, or 
any false identification of, any plant.
    In addition, section 3 of the Lacey Act, as amended, makes it 
unlawful, beginning December 15, 2008, to import certain plants, 
including plant products, without an import declaration. The 
declaration must contain the scientific name of the plant, value of the 
importation, quantity of the plant, and name of the country from which 
the plant was harvested. For paper and paperboard products containing 
recycled content, the declaration also must include the average percent 
of recycled content without regard for species or country of harvest. 
The plant import declaration requirement does not apply to plants used 
exclusively as packaging material to support, protect, or carry another 
item, unless the packaging material itself is the item being imported. 
Currently, enforcement of the declaration requirement is being phased 
in, as described in four notices we published in the Federal 
Register,\1\ the first on February 3, 2009 (74 FR 5911-5913, Docket No. 
APHIS-2008-0119), the second on September 2, 2009 (74 FR 45415-45418, 
Docket No. APHIS-2008-0119), the third on February 6, 2015 (80 FR 6681-
6683, Docket No. APHIS-2008-0119), and the fourth on July 2, 2021 (86 
FR 35259-35261, Docket No. APHIS-2008-0119).

    \1\ To view these notices and the comments we received, go to 
https://www.regulations.gov and enter APHIS-2008-0119 in the Search 
field.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In our February 2009 notice, we committed to providing affected 
individuals and industry with at least 6 months' notice for any 
products that would be added to the phase-in schedule. The phased-in 
enforcement schedule began April 1, 2009. The most recent phase (VI) 
began on October 1, 2021. The enforcement schedule is available on the 
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) website at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import-information/lacey-act. We continue to consider the applicability of the declaration 
requirement to products not included in the current phase-in schedule 
and we invite public comment on how the declaration requirement should 
be enforced as to these products.
    Phase VII of the enforcement schedule, which would begin on 
December 1, 2024, is described below. We invite public comment on the 
products covered under this phase of the plan, as well as on whether 
any additional Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) chapters should be 
included in the current phase-in schedule. Should there be additions to 
phase VII, we intend to provide at least 6 months' notice to persons 
and industries affected by those changes to facilitate compliance with 
the new requirements. Changes will be announced in the Federal 
Register. For the full description of the HTS chapters, please refer to 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule at usitc.gov.
