Background

Lm is a bacterium that is found in moist environments, soil, and decaying vegetation and can persist along the food continuum. Transfer of the bacterium from the environment ( e.g., deli cases, slicers, and utensils), employees, or contaminated food products is a particular hazard of concern in RTE foods, including meat and poultry products, because they generally receive no further processing that would kill Lm before consumption. Listeriosis is a serious infection with a high mortality rate, usually caused by eating food contaminated with Lm.

In 2013, FSIS and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an interagency risk assessment on Lm to better understand the risk of foodborne illness associated with eating certain RTE foods prepared in retail delis and developed recommendations for changes in current practices that may improve the safety of those products. FSIS and FDA made their findings available to the public in the Interagency Risk Assessment—Listeria monocytogenes in Retail Delicatessens (Interagency Retail Lm Risk Assessment) (79 FR 22082). FSIS also published its FSIS Best Practices Guidance for Controlling Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) in Retail Delicatessens.

FSIS is announcing that it has revised its best practices guidance in response to FSIS focus group findings  1 and recommendations from the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection (NACMPI). 2 FSIS has also made changes to incorporate more recent scientific knowledge, update references to the FDA Food Code, and improve consistency, clarity, and overall content. For example, FSIS replaced the summary of findings from the Interagency Retail Lm Risk Assessment with a hyperlink to the risk assessment. FSIS also removed the recommendation that retailers should rotate sanitizers. FSIS relocated the Deli Self-Assessment Tool to the Appendices and added a glossary to the Appendices. Finally, FSIS added the following new sections: Sources of Listeria in Retail Firms, Active Managerial Control, and Risk Mitigation of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) in Retail Firms. The updated best practices guidance is available at: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/guidelines/2015-0014.

The guidance continues to provide practical recommendations that retailers can follow to control Lm contamination and outgrowth in the deli. Retailers can use the best practices guidance to help ensure that RTE meat and poultry products in the deli area are handled under sanitary conditions and are not adulterated under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ) or the Poultry Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq. ) ( see 21 U.S.C. 623(d) and 464(e)). While these practices are specifically designed to control Lm , they also may help control other foodborne pathogens that may be introduced into the retail deli environment and other facilities where consumers purchase food.

Public awareness of all segments of rulemaking and policy development is important. Consequently, FSIS will announce this Federal Register publication online through the FSIS web page located at: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/federal-register.

FSIS also will make copies of this publication available through the FSIS Constituent Update, which is used to provide information regarding FSIS policies, procedures, regulations, Federal Register notices, FSIS public meetings, and other types of information that could affect or would be of interest to our constituents and stakeholders. The Constituent Update is available on the FSIS web page. Through the web page, FSIS provides information to a much broader, more diverse audience. In addition, FSIS offers an email subscription service which provides automatic and customized access to selected food safety news and information. This service is available at: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/subscribe. Options range from recalls to export information, regulations, directives, and notices.

Background

On July 14, 2022, based on timely requests for review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order  1 on large diameter welded line pipe from Greece. 2 This administrative review covers one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, Corinth Pipeworks Pipe Industry S.A. (CPW).

On January 6, 2023, Commerce extended the preliminary results by 120 days, until May 31, 2023. 3 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 4 A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade/gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

The product covered by the Order is large diameter welded carbon and alloy steel line pipe from Greece. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Constructed export price is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Normal value is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum

We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022:

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these preliminary results to interested parties within five days after the date of publication of this notice. 5 Interested parties may submit case briefs to Commerce no later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. 6 Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed no later than seven days after the deadline for filing case briefs. 7 Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. 8 Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed using ACCESS  9 and must be served on interested parties. 10 Executive summaries should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice. 11

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, filed electronically via ACCESS within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. 12 Hearing requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Oral presentations at the hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be notified of the time and date for the hearing. 13 Parties are reminded that all briefs and hearing requests must be filed electronically using ACCESS and received successfully in their entirety by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the established deadline.

Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice, unless otherwise extended. 14

Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 15 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), if CPW's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis ( i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales. CPW's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

In accordance with Commerce's “automatic assessment” practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by CPW for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation ( i.e., 10.26 percent) if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. 16

Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register . If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired ( i.e., within 90 days of publication).

The following deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the company listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not covered in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate published for the most recently completed segment in which the company was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 10.26 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. 17 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Background

On March 2, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD order on sulfanilic acid from India, 1 covering the period January 1, 2022, through May 8, 2022. 2 We received no requests for administrative review. However, on May 9, 2023, Commerce inadvertently initiated a review of the Order, covering the period January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022. 3

Because we did not receive any requests for review of the Order, the initiation of the administrative review was in error. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the Order covering the period January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022.

Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on any entries made during the period January 1, 2022, through May 8, 2022, at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required on those entries at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption.

Because the Order has been revoked, 4 there are no cash deposit requirements currently in effect.

This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of the APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with regulations and terms of an APO is a violation, which is subject to sanction.

This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Background

On May 17, 2023, Commerce published its preliminary affirmative determination in the less-than-fair-value investigation of paper file folders from Vietnam. 1 On May 16, 2023, we received a timely ministerial error allegation from Three-Color Stone Stationary (Viet Nam) Company Limited (TCS) that Commerce made significant ministerial errors in the Preliminary Determination with respect to TCS's weighted-average dumping margin. 2 On May 18, 2023, the petitioner  3 submitted timely rebuttal comments to TCS's ministerial error allegation. 4

The period of investigation (POI) is April 1, 2022, through September 30, 2022.

The products covered by this investigation are paper file folders from Vietnam. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix.

Commerce will analyze any comments received and, if appropriate, correct any significant ministerial error by amending the preliminary determination according to 19 CFR 351.224(e). A ministerial error is defined in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as “an error in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers ministerial.”  5 A significant ministerial error is defined as a ministerial error, the correction of which, singly or in combination with other errors, would result in: (1) a change of at least five absolute percentage points in, but not less than 25 percent of, the weighted-average dumping margin calculated in the original (erroneous) preliminary determination; or (2) a difference between a weighted-average dumping margin of zero (or de minimis ) and a weighted-average dumping margin greater than de minimis, or vice versa. 6

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (g)(1), Commerce is amending the Preliminary Determination to reflect the correction of a ministerial error made in the calculation of the weighted-average dumping margin for TCS. 7 Specifically, when calculating surrogate value expenses for TCS, we inadvertently failed to convert the unit of measure for movement expenses. Commerce finds that this ministerial error is a significant ministerial error within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(g), because correction of this error decreases TCS's weighted-average dumping margin of 324.70 to 93.64 percent, which is a change that is at least five absolute percentage points in, but not less than 25 percent of, the weighted-average dumping margin calculated for TCS in the original Preliminary Determination. Furthermore, as TCS's amended preliminary weighted-average dumping margin is now below the highest petition margin of 233.93 percent, 8 we compared this petition rate to TCS's highest individual dumping margins and found the petition rate to be within the range of the highest calculated individual dumping margins. Accordingly, we assigned to the Vietnam-wide entity a dumping margin of 233.93 percent. For a complete discussion of the alleged ministerial errors, see the Preliminary Ministerial Error Memo.

As a result of correcting this ministerial error, Commerce determines the following weighted-average dumping margins exist:

The collection of cash deposits and suspension of liquidation will be revised according to the rates calculated in this amended preliminary determination, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act. Because the amended rates for TCS and the Vietnam-wide entity result in decreased cash deposits, they will be effective retroactively to May 17, 2023, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination. We will also instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to issue instructions for requesting a refund of the difference between the amount of cash deposits paid as a result of the application of the original preliminary determination rates and the amount due as a result of the amended preliminary determination rates.

We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this proceeding within five days after public announcement of the amended preliminary determination, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, we will notify the International Trade Commission of our amended preliminary determination.

This amended preliminary determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 733(d) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

Background: The NCCoE, part of NIST, is a public-private collaboration for accelerating the widespread adoption of integrated cybersecurity tools and technologies. The NCCoE brings together experts from industry, government, and academia under one roof to develop practical, interoperable cybersecurity approaches that address the real-world needs of complex Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems. By accelerating dissemination and use of these integrated tools and technologies for protecting IT and OT assets, the NCCoE will enhance trust in U.S. IT and OT communications, data, and storage systems; reduce risk for companies and individuals using IT and OT systems; and encourage development of innovative, job-creating cybersecurity products and services.

Process: NIST is soliciting responses from all sources of relevant security capabilities (see below) to enter into an NCCoE Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to provide products and technical expertise to support and demonstrate security platforms for the Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems project. The full project can be viewed at: www.nccoe.nist.gov/projects/securing-water-and-wastewater-utilities.

Interested parties can access the request for a letter of interest template by visiting the project website at www.nccoe.nist.gov/projects/securing-water-and-wastewater-utilities and completing the letter of interest webform. On completion of the webform, interested parties will receive access to the letter of interest template, which the party must complete, certify as accurate, and submit to NIST by email or hardcopy. NIST will contact interested parties if there are questions regarding the responsiveness of the letters of interest to the project objective or requirements identified below. NIST will select participants who have submitted complete letters of interest on a first come, first served basis within each category of product components or capabilities listed below up to the number of participants in each category necessary to carry out this project. When the project has been completed, NIST will post a notice on the Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems project website at www.nccoe.nist.gov/projects/securing-water-and-wastewater-utilities announcing the next phase of the project and informing the public that it will no longer accept letters of interest for this project. There may be continuing opportunity to participate even after initial activity commences. Selected participants will be required to enter into an NCCoE consortium CRADA with NIST (for reference, see ADDRESSES section above).

Project Objective: This project will develop example cybersecurity solutions to protect the infrastructure in the operating environments of Water and Wastewater Systems (WWS) sector utilities. The increasing adoption of network-enabled technologies by the sector merits the development of best practices, guidance, and solutions to ensure that the cybersecurity posture of facilities is safeguarded.

Critical infrastructure issues in the WWS sector present several unique challenges. Utilities in the sector typically cover a wide geographic area regarding piped distribution networks and infrastructure together with centralized treatment operations. The supporting operational technologies (OT) underpinning this infrastructure are likely reliant on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems which provide data transmission across the enterprise, sending sensor readings and signals in real time. These systems also control the automated processes in the production environment which is linked to the distribution network. Additionally, many OT devices are converging upon information technology (IT) capability with the advent of Industrial internet-of-Things (IIoT) devices and platforms, such as cloud-based SCADA and smart monitoring. This project will develop a reference design that demonstrates practical solutions for water and wastewater utilities of all sizes. The reference design will use commercially available products and services to address four WWS cybersecurity challenges: asset management, data integrity, remote access, and network segmentation. The commercial products and services will be integrated into a demonstration of the reference design. The project also initiates a broad discussion with WWS sector stakeholders to identify commercial solution providers.

This project will result in a publicly available NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide which will include a detailed implementation guide of the practical steps needed to implement a cybersecurity reference design that addresses these challenges.

Requirements for Letters of Interest: Each responding organization's letter of interest should identify which security platform component(s) or capability(ies) it is offering. Letters of interest should not include company proprietary information, and all components and capabilities must be commercially available. Components are listed in section 3 of the Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems project description available at: www.nccoe.nist.gov/projects/securing-water-and-wastewater-utilities.

This project will employ products, provided by collaborating vendors, that provide the following cybersecurity capabilities to address the four scenarios described in section 2 of the Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems Project Description.

• Asset Management: Asset management capabilities discover and identify physical and virtual assets in the OT environment. These assets may be geographically distributed and may be cloud-based. In addition to network-connected assets, these capabilities should provide a means to discover and identify assets connected by low-bandwidth communications channels and disconnected assets. The asset management capability maintains an inventory of known assets which contains information such asset type, product version, and communication protocols used. Asset management capabilities may provide automation to establish and enforce a baseline security posture.

• Data Integrity: Data integrity capabilities protect data and communications within the OT environment against improper modification or destruction. Additionally, these capabilities monitor the OT environment to detect potential integrity violations and generate alerts to initiate any needed responses.

• Remote Access: Remote access capabilities provide entities (people and systems) controlled access to OT assets from outside the OT environment. These capabilities authenticate any entity seeking access, allow only explicitly authorized access, control which actions are allowed for each authorized entity, and maintain a record of all actions attempted and completed by each entity.

• Network Segmentation: Network segmentation capabilities provide logically isolated network subsets that can be managed more efficiently and effectively. Segmentation allows for a more detailed level of authorization and access, visibility into network flows among critical assets and infrastructure, and control of device management, and minimizes the potential harm from threats by isolating them to a limited part of the network.

In their letters of interest, responding organizations need to acknowledge the importance of and commit to provide:

1. Access for all participants' project teams to component interfaces and the organization's experts necessary to make functional connections among security platform components.

2. Support for development and demonstration of the Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems project, which will be conducted in a manner consistent with the following standards and guidance: FIPS 200, FIPS 201, SP 800-82 and SP 800-53, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and the NIST Privacy Framework.

Additional details about the Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems project are available at www.nccoe.nist.gov/projects/securing-water-and-wastewater-utilities.

NIST cannot guarantee that all the products proposed by respondents will be used in the demonstration. Each prospective participant will be expected to work collaboratively with NIST staff and other project participants under the terms of the NCCoE consortium CRADA in the development of the Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems project. Prospective participants' contribution to the collaborative effort will include assistance in establishing the necessary interface functionality, connection and set-up capabilities and procedures, demonstration harnesses, environmental and safety conditions for use, integrated platform user instructions, and demonstration plans and scripts necessary to demonstrate the desired capabilities. Each participant will train NIST personnel, as necessary, to operate its product in capability demonstrations. Following successful demonstrations, NIST will publish a description of the security platform and its performance characteristics sufficient to permit other organizations to develop and deploy security platforms that meet the security objectives of the Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems project. These descriptions will be public information. Under the terms of the NCCoE consortium CRADA, NIST will support development of interfaces among participants' products by providing IT infrastructure, laboratory facilities, office facilities, collaboration facilities, and staff support to component composition, security platform documentation, and demonstration activities.

The dates of the demonstration of Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems project capability will be announced on the NCCoE website at least two weeks in advance at https://nccoe.nist.gov/. The expected outcome will demonstrate how the components of the Cybersecurity for the Water and Wastewater Sector: A Practical Reference Design for Mitigating Cyber Risk in Water and Wastewater Systems project architecture can provide security capabilities to mitigate identified risks related to data throughout its lifecycle. Participating organizations will gain from the knowledge that their products are interoperable with other participants' offerings.

The NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center submitted a complete application for an Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) to conduct commercial fishing activities that the regulations would otherwise restrict to expand trials of on-demand fishing gear that uses one or no surface buoys and to test the ability of gear marking systems to consistently locate gear. This EFP would exempt the participating vessels from the gear marking requirements at 50 CFR 697.21(b)(2) to allow the use of trawls of more than three traps with no more than one surface marking and § 648.84(b) to allow the use of gillnet gear with no more than one surface marking. Exempted fishing activities would take place between August 21, 2023, and August 20, 2024.

The project is a continuation and expansion of the Center's efforts to trial on-demand fishing systems (also known as ropeless or buoyless) aimed at reducing entanglement risk to protected species, mainly the North Atlantic right whale, in trap/pot and gillnet fisheries. The Center's existing EFP will expire on August 21, 2023, and authorizes gear trials on up to 100 trap/pot vessels. As of March 2023, the Center had collected data from 707 hauls of on-demand gear in Federal waters under its current EFP. Of these, 267 hauls took place in Lobster Management Area (LMA) 3, 164 in LMA 2, and 276 in LMA 1. The Center reported two instances of gear loss or gear conflict. One incident involved a gear conflict with a mobile fishing vessel, the second incident was related to a malfunction of the on-demand gear itself. The Center has increased outreach to encourage use of the Trap Tracker app by non-participant vessels. As of March 2023, approximately 42 fixed-gear and 5 mobile-gear vessels are using Trap Tracker.

This project would expand trials to allow up to 200 trap/pot vessels to replace up to 10 of their existing trawls (up to 2,000 trawls total) with modified trawls, including in Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan (ALWTRP) Restricted Areas. It would also add the opportunity to trial on-demand gear in gillnet fisheries, with up to 5 of the 200 vessels fishing up to 8 (40 total) modified gillnet strings. Modified gear would replace one or both traditional end lines with acoustic on-demand systems and other alternatives to static buoy lines (including, but not limited to, spooled systems, buoy and stowed rope systems, lift bag systems, and grappling).

The ultimate goal of this project is to enable the continuation of some of the region's most valuable and historically significant fisheries while also meeting the requirements set forth by the ALWTRP and section 118(f) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, specifically reducing the level of serious injury and mortality of North Atlantic right, humpback, and fin whales in commercial fisheries. To achieve this, the project includes objectives to test the efficacy of fully on-demand trawls and the adequacy of gear marking systems that use data hubs and visualization platforms to share on-demand gear locations. The project is intended to address challenges and data needs associated with on-demand gear, including:

• Increasing availability of and standardizing participant training;

• Reducing operational interruptions (line snarls, gear breakage, acoustic response issues, etc. );

• Evaluating multiple prototypes under the range of fishing conditions;

• Evaluating retrieval times with through-hull transducers;

• Evaluating float modifications;

• Evaluating modifications to facilitate faster retrieval in low visibility conditions;

• Evaluating new prototypes;

• Improving stackability on deck;

• Improving gear detection by other fishermen and relevant stakeholders ( e.g., wind surveyors);

• Improving access to location data ( e.g., overlaying on digital charts);

• Improving the ability to upload data ( e.g., outside of cell data range);

• Increasing data to support regulatory analyses ( e.g., costs in time and landings; costs/savings associated with gear conflicts); and,

• Increasing performance of on-demand gear through feedback to manufacturers.

To ensure that on-demand fishing and gear marking technologies are adequately tested across the breadth of regional commercial fishing conditions, the Center requests the flexibility to test on-demand gear across the geographic range of the Federal American lobster and Jonah crab fishery (LMAs 1-5 and the Nearshore Outer Cape LMA), including testing fully on-demand gear (no persistent vertical lines) in ALTWRP Restricted Areas. It also requests the opportunity to trial on-demand gillnet gear on federally permitted monkfish, groundfish, spiny dogfish, and skate vessels from Maine to Virginia. To cover a greater area and target areas where data is needed, the Center has requested the flexibility to have greater than 200 participants during the one-year period (with only 200 fishing at one time) and would provide requested modifications to the active participants, general locations, and technologies to be tested one month in advance. Priority would be given to participants who are seasonally excluded from fishing in certain areas and/or participants in offshore fisheries that have limited entanglement mitigation options available. The Center is also specifically targeting increased wintertime data collection.

This permit would only exempt vessels from the specified Federal regulations in Federal waters. It would not exempt the vessels from any requirements imposed by any state, the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, or any other applicable laws. The applicant would be responsible for obtaining all required state authorizations. Other than gear markings, all trap trawls and gillnet strings would be consistent with the regulations of the management area where the vessel is fishing and would be fished in accordance with the participating vessels' standard operations (number and length of trips, soak times, trap limits, etc. ).

The use of on-demand trap/pot gear in the ALWTRP Restricted Areas is limited to gear without any persistent vertical lines. The Center would allow incremental expansion of on-demand trials in the Restricted Areas, depending on its capacity to provide gear and manage the activity. In recognition of industry's interest in grappling as a low-cost alternative to acoustic on-demand systems, this project would also allow up to 25 vessels to retrieve fewer than 10 buoyless trawls via grappling, including in ALWTRP Restricted Areas. This would enable the Center to collect data on the viability of grappling at a commercial scale. This would be consistent with what is authorized under the existing EFP, although no grappling trials have occurred to-date.

In the first phase of participation, staff from the Center and the gear manufacturers would provide training to ensure the system is working as intended and all participants have sufficient experience with the gear prior to borrowing from the gear cache library. In the second phase, participating vessels would rig an on-demand system to one end of a standard trawl or string and fish it as a hybrid (with one traditional surface marking) for at least 10 hauls per system. In phase three, participants would fish the gear as part of normal fishing operations, including fishing fully on-demand gear and in the ALTWRP Restricted Areas. In some cases, a scientific observer may be on board, and/or GoPro Systems (or equivalent) may record gear retrievals. The Center would provide standardized data collection sheets to all participants, but individually-identifiable data will only be made public with the express permission of the vessel owner.

The Center also plans to include targeted geolocation studies in areas with limited trawling and/or dredging to test new location-marking systems on the seafloor and automated location-marking when gear is set and retrieved. This EFP would support efforts to improve gear-marking and gear-conflict avoidance technologies, including testing the amount of effort to mark sub-surface gear location in the Trap Tracker app (vs. surface location where the gear is deployed) and other sub-surface gear marking technologies. This EFP would also test the use of the EarthRanger platform that displays gear locations from various gear-marking technologies. The Center would demonstrate and continue to encourage the adoption of these technologies with non-participant vessels.

The Center proposes the following best practices and risk reduction measures:

• All vessels would report all right whale sightings to NMFS via ne.rw.survey@noaa.gov or NOAA (866-755-6622) or the U.S. Coast Guard (Channel 16) and record sightings on data sheets;

• All vessels would retrieve on-demand vertical lines as quickly as possible to minimize time in the water column;

• All vessels would adhere to current approach regulations—a 500-yard (457.2-meter or 1,500-foot) buffer zone created by a surfacing right whale—and must depart immediately at a safe and slow speed, in accordance with current regulations. Hauling any lobster gear would immediately cease (by removal) to accommodate the regulation and be reinitiated only after it is reasonable to assume the whale has left the area;

• All vessels would provide mandatory, weekly gear loss reports;

• All vessels would operate within a 10-knot speed limit when transiting Restricted Areas or when whales are observed;

• For fully on-demand gear without traditional surface markings, participants would use the Trap Tracker or an equivalent technology for retrieval and set positioning details, which would be available to Federal, state, and corresponding enforcement personnel, as well as other fishermen;

• For fully on-demand gear without traditional surface markings, on-demand vertical lines would be marked with unique yellow/black/orange marks above the regional markings, in addition to ALWTRP regulations (per agreement with the NMFS Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Team Coordinator);

• When fishing in ALWTRP Restricted Areas, vessels would check real-time right whale sightings information (such as Right Whale Sightings Advisories and Whale Alert before setting any gear and avoid areas of high right whale abundance, and all vessels would be recommended to follow this process when setting gear outside the ALWTRP Restricted Areas;

• In the Restricted Areas, vessels would fly a unique flag for enforcement recognition;

• The Center would provide monthly updates on any gear conflicts to the Sustainable Fisheries Division at the Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office; and,

• Sustainable Fisheries Division staff would be invited to recurring gear coordination calls with time dedicated to EFP discussion.

If approved, the applicant may request minor modifications and extensions to the EFP throughout the year. EFP modifications and extensions may be granted without further notice if they are deemed essential to facilitate completion of the proposed research and have minimal impacts that do not change the scope or impact of the initially approved EFP request. Any fishing activity conducted outside the scope of the exempted fishing activity would be prohibited.

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

Section 204(e) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the Secretary of State, with the concurrence of the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), and in consultation with the Council, to negotiate and enter into a Pacific Insular Area fishery agreement (PIAFA). A PIAFA would allow foreign fishing within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) adjacent to American Samoa, Guam, or the CNMI. The Governor of the Pacific Insular Area to which the PIAFA applies must request the PIAFA. The Secretary of State may negotiate and enter the PIAFA after consultation with, and concurrence of, the applicable Governor.

Before entering into a PIAFA, the applicable Governor, with concurrence of the Council, must develop and submit to the Secretary a 3-year MCP providing details on uses for any funds collected by the Secretary under the PIAFA. NMFS is the designee of the Secretary for MCP review and approval. The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires payments received under a PIAFA to be deposited into the United States Treasury and then conveyed to the Treasury of the Pacific Insular Area for which funds were collected.

In the case of violations by foreign fishing vessels in the EEZ around any Pacific Insular Area, amounts received by the Secretary attributable to fines and penalties imposed under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, including sums collected from the forfeiture and disposition or sale of property seized subject to its authority, shall be deposited into the Treasury of the Pacific Insular Area adjacent to the EEZ in which the violation occurred, after direct costs of the enforcement action are subtracted. The Pacific Insular Area government may use funds deposited into the Treasury of the Pacific Insular Area for fisheries enforcement and for implementation of an MCP.

Federal regulations at 50 CFR 665.819 authorize NMFS to specify catch limits for longline-caught bigeye tuna for U.S. territories. NMFS may also authorize each territory to allocate a portion of that limit to U.S. longline fishing vessels that are permitted to fish under the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for Pelagic Fisheries of the Western Pacific (FEP). Payments collected under specified fishing agreements are deposited into the Western Pacific Sustainable Fisheries Fund, and any funds attributable to a particular territory may be used only for implementation of that territory's MCP. An MCP must be consistent with the Council's FEPs, must identify conservation and management objectives (including criteria for determining when such objectives have been met), and must prioritize planned marine conservation projects.

At its 194th meeting held March 26-30, 2023, the Council reviewed and concurred with the MCP. On May 11, 2023, the Governor of the CNMI submitted the MCP to NMFS for review and approval. The MCP contains the following seven conservation and management objectives:

1. Improve fisheries data collection and reporting;

2. Conduct resource assessment, monitoring, and research to gain a better understanding of marine resources and fisheries;

3. Conduct enforcement training and monitoring activities to promote compliance with federal and local mandates;

4. Promote responsible domestic fisheries development to provide long-term economic growth, stability, and local food production;

5. Conduct education and outreach, enhance public participation, and build local capacity;

6. Promote an ecosystem approach to fisheries management, climate change adaptation and mitigation, and regional cooperation; and

7. Recognize the importance of island cultures and traditional fishing practices in managing fishery resources, and foster opportunities for participation.

Please refer to the MCP for projects and activities designed to meet each objective, the evaluative criteria, and priority rankings.

This notice announces that NMFS has reviewed the MCP, and has determined that it satisfies the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Accordingly, NMFS has approved the MCP for the 3-year period from August 4, 2023, through August 3, 2026. This MCP supersedes the one approved previously for August 4, 2020, through August 3, 2023 (85 FR 29934, May 19, 2020).

A. Background

CPSC promulgated the Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads, 16 CFR part 1632 (part 1632 standard) under section 4 of the Flammable Fabrics Act (FFA), 15 U.S.C. 1193, to reduce unreasonable risks of burn injuries and deaths from fires associated with mattresses and mattress pads. The part 1632 standard prescribes requirements to test whether a mattress or mattress pad will resist ignition from a smoldering cigarette. The part 1632 standard also requires manufacturers to perform prototype tests of each combination of materials and construction methods used to produce mattresses or mattress pads and to obtain acceptable results from such testing. Manufacturers and importers must maintain the records and test results specified under the standard.

The Commission also promulgated the Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets, 16 CFR part 1633 (part 1633 standard), under section 4 of the FFA to reduce deaths and injuries related to mattress fires, particularly those ignited by open-flame sources, such as lighters, candles, and matches. The part 1633 standard requires manufacturers to maintain certain records to document compliance with the standard, including maintaining records concerning prototype testing, pooling, and confirmation testing, and quality assurance procedures and any associated testing. The required records must be maintained for as long as mattress sets based on the prototype are in production and must be retained for 3 years thereafter. OMB previously approved the collection of information for 16 CFR parts 1632 and 1633, under control number 3041-0014, with an expiration date of August 31, 2023. The information collection requirements under the part 1632 standard are separate from the testing and recordkeeping requirements under the part 1633 standard.

16 CFR 1632: Commission staff estimates that there are 403 respondents that produce mattresses. It is estimated that each respondent will spend 26 hours for testing and record keeping annually for a total of 10,478 hours (403 establishments × 26 hours = 10,478). The hourly compensation for the time required for record keeping is $72.91 (for management, professional, and related occupations in goods-producing industries, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2022). The annualized cost to respondents would be approximately $763,950.98 (10,478 hours × $72.91 per hour).

16 CFR 1633: The standard requires detailed documentation of prototype identification and testing records, model and prototype specifications, inputs used, name and location of suppliers, and confirmation of test records, if establishments choose to pool a prototype. This documentation is in addition to documentation already conducted by mattress manufacturers to meet 16 CFR part 1632. Staff again estimates that there are 403 respondents. Based on staff estimates, the recordkeeping requirements are expected to require about 4 hours and 44 minutes per establishment, per qualified prototype. Although some larger manufacturers reportedly are producing mattresses based on more than 100 prototypes, most mattress manufacturers probably base their complying production on 15 to 20 prototypes, according to an industry representative contacted by staff. Assuming that establishments qualify their production with an average of 20 different qualified prototypes, recordkeeping time is about 94.6 hours (4.73 hours × 20 prototypes) per establishment, per year. (Note that pooling among establishments or using a prototype qualification for longer than 1 year will reduce the hours required). This translates to an estimated annual recordkeeping time cost to all mattress producers of 38,124 hours (94.6 hours × 403 establishments). The hourly compensation for the time required for record keeping is $72.91 (for management, professional, and related occupations in goods-producing industries, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2022). The annual total estimated costs for recordkeeping are approximately $2,779,606 (38,124 hours × $72.91 per hour).

The total estimated annual cost to the 403 establishments for the burden hours associated with both 16 CFR part 1632 and 16 CFR part 1633 is approximately $3.5 million (10,478 + 38,124 = 48,602 total hours; 48,602 × $72.91 = $3,543,571,182).

The Commission solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:

• Whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, including whether the information would have practical utility;

• Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of information is accurate;

• Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected could be enhanced; and

• Whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic, or other technological collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.

A. Background

The Commission has promulgated several standards under section 4 of the Flammable Fabrics Act (FFA; 15 U.S.C. 1193) to prohibit the use of dangerously flammable textiles and related materials in wearing apparel. Clothing and fabrics intended for use in clothing (except children's sleepwear in sizes 0 through 14) are subject to the Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles (16 CFR part 1610). Clothing made from vinyl plastic film and vinyl plastic film intended for use in clothing (except children's sleepwear in sizes 0 through 14) is subject to the Standard for the Flammability of Vinyl Plastic Film (16 CFR part 1611). This standard prescribes a test to ensure that articles of wearing apparel, and fabrics and film intended for use in wearing apparel, are not dangerously flammable because of rapid and intense burning. (Children's sleepwear and fabrics and related materials intended for use in children's sleepwear in sizes 0 through 14 are subject to other, more stringent flammability standards codified at 16 CFR parts 1615 and 1616.)

Section 8 of the FFA (15 U.S.C. 1197) provides that a person who receives a guaranty in good faith that a product complies with an applicable flammability standard is not subject to criminal prosecution for a violation of the FFA resulting from the sale of any product covered by the guaranty. The CPSC uses the information compiled and maintained by firms that issue these guaranties to help protect the public from risks of injury or death associated with flammable clothing and fabrics and vinyl film intended for use in clothing. In addition, the information helps the CPSC arrange corrective actions if any products covered by a guaranty fail to comply with the applicable standard in a manner that creates a substantial risk of injury or death to the public. Section 8 of the FFA requires that a guaranty must be based on “reasonable and representative tests.” The testing and recordkeeping requirements for firms that issue guaranties are set forth under 16 CFR part 1610, subpart B, and 16 CFR part 1611, subpart B.

The CPSC estimates that approximately 1,000 firms issue guaranties. Although the CPSC's records indicate that approximately 675 firms have filed continuing guaranties with the Commission, staff believes additional guaranties may be issued that are not filed with the Commission, because continuing guaranties are not required to be filed with the Commission. Accordingly, staff has rounded the estimated number of firms upwards to 1,000 to account for those additional guaranties. Staff has estimated the burden hours based on an estimate of the time for each firm to conduct testing, issue guaranties, and establish and maintain associated records.

• Burden Hours per Firm—An estimated 5 hours for each test series per firm, using either the test and conditioning procedures in the regulations or alternate methods. Although many firms are exempt from testing to support guaranties under 16 CFR 1610.1(d), CPSC staff does not know the proportion of those firms that are testing versus those that are exempt. Thus, staff has included testing for all firms in the burden estimates.

• Guaranties Issued per Firm—On average, 20 new guaranties are issued per firm per year for new fabrics or garments.

• Estimated Annual Testing Time per Firm—100 hours per firm (5 hours for testing × 20 guaranties issued = 100 hours per firm).

• Estimated Annual Recordkeeping per Firm—1 hour to create, record, and enter test data into a computerized dataset; 20 minutes (= 0.33 hours) for annual review/removal of records; 20 minutes (= 0.33 hours) to respond to one CPSC records request per year; for a total of 1.7 recordkeeping hours per firm (1 hour + .33 hours + .33 hours = 1.7 hours per firm).

• Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours per Firm—100 hours estimated annual testing time per firm + 1.7 estimated annual recordkeeping hours per firm = 101.7 hours per firm.

• Total Estimated Annual Industry Burden Hours—101.7 hours per firm × 1,000 firms issuing guaranties =101,700 industry burden hours. The total annual industry burden imposed by the flammability standards for clothing textiles and vinyl plastic film and enforcement regulations on manufacturers and importers of garments, fabrics, and related materials is estimated to be approximately 101,700 hours (101.6 hours per firm × 1,000 firms).

• Total Annual Industry Cost —The hourly wage for the testing and recordkeeping required by the standards is approximately $72.91 (for management, professional, and related occupations in goods-producing industries, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2022), for an estimated annual cost to the industry of approximately $7.4 million (101,700 × $72.91 per hour = $7,414,947).

The Commission solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:

• Whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, including whether the information would have practical utility;

Title of Collection: Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grant Program Obligation to Repay Grant Regulations.

OMB Control Number: 1845-0157.

Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved ICR.

Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 77,109.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 13,131.

Abstract: The College Cost Reduction and Access Act (Pub. L. 110-84) (the CCRAA) established the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program under Part A of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the HEA). The regulations governing the TEACH Grant Program are in 34 CFR 686. The Department of Education (the Department) is requesting extension without change of this information collection for the TEACH Grant regulations under 34 CFR 686.43.

The TEACH Grant Program provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to undergraduate and graduate students who are completing, or who intend to complete, coursework necessary to begin a career in teaching. In exchange for receiving a TEACH Grant, a grant recipient must agree to complete a teaching service obligation and must regularly provide documentation of his or her progress toward satisfying the service obligation. If a grant recipient fails to complete the service obligation or does not meet requirements for documenting the service obligation, the TEACH Grants that the individual received are converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan that must be repaid, with interest charged from the date of each TEACH Grant disbursement.

The regulations govern when a TEACH Grant will be converted to a Direct Unsubsidized Loan, as well as provide for annual notifications from the Secretary to the recipient regarding the status of a recipient's TEACH Grant service obligation. Under the regulations, a TEACH Grant recipient can request conversion if the recipient decides not to fulfill the TEACH Grant obligations for any reason or if the recipient fails to begin or maintain qualifying teaching service within a timeframe to complete the service obligation in the requisite eight-year period. Additionally, the regulations describe the notifications the Secretary will annually send to all TEACH Grant recipients regarding the service obligation requirements.

The Department, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. The Department is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology.

Abstract: RadNet is a national network of stations collecting environmental media that include air, precipitation, and drinking water. Samples are sent to EPA's National Analytical Radiation Environmental Lab (NAREL) in Montgomery, Alabama, where they are analyzed for radioactivity. RadNet provides emergency response/homeland security and ambient monitoring information on levels of environmental radiation across the nation. All stations operators participate in RadNet voluntarily. Station operators complete information forms that accompany the samples. The forms request information pertaining to sample type, sample location, start and stop date and times for sampling, length of sampling period, and volume represented. Data from RadNet are made available regularly on the Agency websites—Envirofacts and the EPA website www.epa.gov/radnet.

Form numbers: RadNet Air Particulate Sample (EPA Form 5900-24); RadNet Precipitation Report Form (EPA Form 5900-27); RadNet Drinking Water Report Form (EPA Form 5900-29); and RadNet Supply Request Form (EPA Form 5900-23).

Respondents/affected entities: Primarily State and Local Officials.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.

Estimated number of respondents: 213.

Frequency of response: Varies depending upon sample media type. Responses vary from twice weekly to quarterly.

Total estimated burden: 3,640 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $2,622,124 (per year), includes annualized capital costs, operational costs, and maintenance costs.

Changes in estimates: There is a 2.2 percent reduction in burden from 3,722 hours annually. While the RadNet network is fully established and operating with essentially no changes expected, 30% of the drinking water sampling locations have not responded since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a 4.5 percent increase in costs due to increases in federal and contractor salaries and cost of goods and supplies.

The Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5), enacted on December 29, 2022, amended FIFRA requiring Spanish language translation for sections of the end-use pesticide product labels where translation is available in the EPA Spanish Translation Guide for Pesticide Labeling. The Spanish Translation Guide is located at: https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-labels/spanish-translation-guide-pesticide-labeling. It contains translations of the health and safety portions of pesticide product labels. Specifically, it has Spanish translations of the “keep out of reach of children” statement, the restricted use pesticide statement for restricted use products, the signal word, the first aid section, the precautionary statement section, the personal protective equipment section, the misuse statement, and the storage and disposal statements. It also has examples of pesticide product label language for the agricultural use requirements section (including restricted entry interval information) and precautionary statements.

PRIA 5 requires that the Spanish language translation for sections of the end-use pesticide product labels (where translation is available in the EPA Spanish Translation Guide) must appear on the pesticide product container or a link to such translation via scannable technology or other electronic methods readily accessible on the product label. These translations are required on a rolling schedule from December 2025 to December 2030 depending on the type of pesticide product and the toxicity category.

PRIA 5 also requires EPA to begin to seek stakeholder input on ways to make bilingual pesticide labeling accessible to farmworkers by June 30, 2023, and to implement a plan to ensure that farmworkers have access to the bilingual pesticide labeling by December 2025.

On June 15, 2023, EPA hosted the Bilingual Pesticide Labeling National Webinar to obtain input from the public on ways to make bilingual pesticide labeling accessible to farmworkers as required by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022. EPA is now opening a comment period for 60 days through a Federal Register Notice. The purpose of the public comment period is to obtain feedback from stakeholders on ways to make bilingual pesticide labeling accessible to farmworkers to aid in the development of a plan to ensure that farmworkers have access to the bilingual pesticide labeling. Public input that includes environmental justice perspectives with solutions will be key in helping the Agency develop a strong starting point for addressing historical disadvantages for farmworkers.

The Agency is interested in suggestions focusing on how to make bilingual pesticide labeling accessible to farmworkers. We are not seeking input or comments about any specific products or other topics outside of that scope. Here are some questions to consider as you provide feedback to EPA on making bilingual pesticide labeling accessible to farmworkers:

• What communication approaches, processes or strategies should the Agency consider to ensure bilingual pesticide labels are accessible to farmworkers? What specific approaches should the Agency avoid or adopt when implementing efforts to best ensure access by farmworkers to bilingual pesticide labels?

• What technologies, mobile applications, and internet access should the Agency consider? Would web-based labels be accessible to farmworkers? How should the Agency overcome internet connectivity issues that some farmworkers may face?

• How can the Agency effectively share health and safety information on pesticide labels with farmworkers? What should on-the-ground logistics look like? Which entities ( e.g., community-based organizations) should the Agency work with to provide label information to farmworkers?

• As the Agency implements actions to meet this requirement, how can EPA effectively increase farmworker access to bilingual pesticide labels ( e.g., communication plans, outreach strategies)?

EPA is seeking public comments through several planned activities including through this Federal Register document, EPA is soliciting comment on the questions posed in Unit II.B. Following the close of the comment period, EPA will consider comments received during the public webinar and public comment period in the development of a plan to ensure that farmworkers have access to the bilingual pesticide labeling.

On April 21, 2023, the Commission released the Access Arbitrage Second Report and Order, WC Docket No. 18-155, FCC 23-31, 88 FR 35743, which added rules applicable to internet Protocol Enabled Service (IPES) Providers engaged in Access Stimulation. In the Access Arbitrage Second Report and Order the Commission adopted rules requiring that access-stimulating IPES Providers provide notice of their status to the Commission by filing a record of their access-stimulating status in the Commission's Access Arbitrage docket, and to provide notice to any affected IXCs and Intermediate Access Providers of the same, within 45 days of the effective date of that requirement after approval of that information collection by OMB (or for an entity that later engages in access stimulation, 45 days from the date it commences access stimulation). If, after the effective date of this requirement subsequent to approval of this requirement by OMB, an access-stimulating IPES Provider is no longer engaged in Access Stimulation, the IPES Provider must file notice of that change in status with the Commission and with any affected IXCs and Intermediate Access Providers.

The revisions to this collection primarily reflect the conclusion of the rate transition(s) adopted in the 8YY Access Charge Reform Order, WC Docket No. 18-156, FCC 20-143, 85 FR 75894 and the notice and reporting requirements adopted by the Commission in the Access Arbitrage Second Report and Order. The information collected through a carrier's tariff is used by the Commission and state commissions to determine whether services offered are just and reasonable as the Act requires. The tariffs and any supporting documentation are examined in order to determine if the services are offered in a just and reasonable manner. The information provided by IPES Providers pursuant to rules adopted in the Access Arbitrage Second Report and Order informs interested parties of an entities' engagement in Access Stimulation.

Background

GSA, in compliance with the FedRAMP Authorization Act of 2022, established the FSCAC, a statutory advisory committee in accordance with the provisions of FACA (5 U.S.C. 10). The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) within GSA is responsible for providing a standardized, reusable approach to security assessment and authorization for cloud computing products and services that process unclassified information used by agencies.

The FSCAC will provide advice and recommendations to the Administrator of GSA, the FedRAMP Board, and agencies on technical, financial, programmatic, and operational matters regarding the secure adoption of cloud computing products and services. The FSCAC will ensure effective and ongoing coordination of agency adoption, use, authorization, monitoring, acquisition, and security of cloud computing products and services to enable agency mission and administrative priorities.

The purposes of the Committee are:

• To examine the operations of FedRAMP and determine ways that authorization processes can continuously be improved, including the following:

○ Measures to increase agency reuse of FedRAMP authorizations.

○ Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the burden, confusion, and cost associated with FedRAMP authorizations for cloud service providers.

○ Measures to increase the number of FedRAMP authorizations for cloud computing products and services offered by small businesses concerns (as defined by section 3(a) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a)).

○ Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the burden and cost of FedRAMP authorizations for agencies.

• Collect information and feedback on agency compliance with, and implementation of, FedRAMP requirements.

• Serve as a forum that facilitates communication and collaboration among the FedRAMP stakeholder community.

The FSCAC will meet no fewer than three (3) times a calendar year. Meetings shall occur as frequently as needed, called, and approved by the DFO.

The July 20, 2023 public meeting will be dedicated to presenting the Committee with additional information on FedRAMP through a series of presentations and facilitated discussions reviewing current state and examining top priorities for the secure adoption of cloud computing technologies in the federal government as well as a vote on the Committee's first course of action.

1. Title of Information Collection: Medicaid Section 1115 Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Demonstration: Federal Meta-Analysis Support; Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Use: Starting in 2015, in response to the opioid epidemic, CMS offered states the flexibility to test Medicaid coverage of a full substance use disorder (SUD) treatment service array in the context of overall SUD service delivery transformation through the authority of section 1115 demonstrations. In 2017, CMS modified the requirements for SUD section 1115 demonstrations to improve access to clinically appropriate treatment for OUD and other SUDs, to better support the development and expansion of comprehensive treatment strategies, and to incorporate improved progress and outcome monitoring. In 2018, CMS awarded the Federal Meta-Analysis Support contract to RTI International to understand the overall effectiveness of the groups of demonstrations with similar features and how variations in state demonstration features and the context in which they are implemented contribute to differences in effectiveness. The meta-analysis includes multiple rounds of qualitative data collection consisting of: characteristics interviews, implementation interviews, and provider interviews. This 2023 iteration increases the number of respondents. We are not revising any of our active reporting instruments. Form Number: CMS-10398 (#64) (OMB control number: 0938-1148); Frequency: Once; Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments, and the Private sector; Number of Respondents: 60; Total Annual Responses: 340; Total Annual Hours: 405. For policy questions regarding this collection contact: Paula Kazi at (240) 841-4332.

Description: Section 511 of title V of the Social Security Act created the MIECHV Program and authorizes the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations to conduct an early childhood home visiting program. The legislation set aside 6 percent of the total MIECHV program appropriation for grants to tribal entities. Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest extent practicable, are to be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV grants to states and jurisdictions and include conducting a needs assessment and establishing quantifiable, measurable benchmarks.

The ACF Office of Early Childhood Development (ECD), in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, awards grants for the Tribal MIECHV Program. The Tribal MIECHV grant awards support 5-year cooperative agreements to conduct community needs assessments; plan for and implement high-quality, culturally grounded, evidence-based home visiting programs in at-risk tribal communities; and participate in research and evaluation activities to build the knowledge base on home visiting among Native populations.

In Year 1 of the cooperative agreement, grantees must (1) conduct a comprehensive community needs and readiness assessment and (2) develop a plan to respond to identified needs. Following each year that Tribal MIECHV grantees implement home visiting services, they must comply with the requirement to submit demographic and service utilization data once they begin to provide services, and then on an annual basis. Grantees also begin to report quarterly on caseloads and family and staff retention and submit performance data in years 2-5 of their cooperative agreements. Tribal MIECHV Program data are used to help ACF better understand the population receiving services from Tribal MIECHV grantees, the degree to which they are using services, as well as staffing data to better understand the Tribal MIECHV workforce. This includes demographic and service utilization data on the number of newly enrolled and continuing participants, educational level and poverty status of participants, education level of staff, number of home visits and grantee caseload capacity, and retention of families and staff. Performance reporting on the six legislatively mandated areas (referred to as “benchmark areas”) will document grantee improvement in the benchmark areas over time and will allow new cohorts of grantees to reflect on their performance to make program improvements or to document implementation of services successfully that encompass the major goals of the program.

ACF will use Tribal Home Visiting Data Reports to:

• Collect demographic and service utilization that provides vital information on the families being served under the Tribal MIECHV Program;

• Collect the number of newly enrolled and continuing families being served;

• Collect the number of home visits;

• Track and improve the quality of benchmark measures data submitted by the tribal grantees;

• Improve program monitoring and oversight;

• Improve rigorous data analyses that help to assess the effectiveness of the programs and enable ACF to better monitor projects;

• Ensure adequate and timely reporting of program data to relevant federal agencies and stakeholders, including Congress and members of the public; and

• Collect data on caseload capacity and the retention and attrition of enrolled families and the retention and attrition of program staff on a quarterly basis.

Overall, this information collection will provide valuable information to HHS that will guide understanding of the Tribal MIECHV Program and the provision of technical assistance to Tribal MIECHV Program grantees.

Respondents: Tribal MIECHV Grantees.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 33,825.

Authority: Section 511 of title V of the Social Security Act.

Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including any of the following subjects: (1) The necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.

Title of the Collection: HHS Subpart C Certification Form.

Type of Collection: Revision.

Abstract: The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) is requesting a three-year extension of OMB No. 0990-0473, the HHS Subpart C Certification Form. The purpose of this form is to provide a simplified, standardized procedure for institutions to submit subpart C research certifications to OHRP in order to obtain authorization to include prisoners in HHS-conducted or supported human subjects research. The form also simplifies the internal process used by OHRP to review and record such certifications, resulting in faster processing while reducing unnecessary and burdensome staff time.

Type of Respondent: Institutions or Organizations operating Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that have enrolled or are planning to enroll prisoners in human subjects research conducted or supported by HHS.

This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on April 12, 2023, page 22049 (Vol. 88, No. 70 FR 22049) and allowed 60 days for public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health, may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

In compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below.

Proposed Collection: Specimen Resource Locator, OMB #0925-0703: Expiration Date 11/30/2023, EXTENSION, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Need and Use of Information Collection: The availability of specimens and associated data is critical to increasing our knowledge of cancer biology and translating important research discoveries to clinical applications. The discovery and validation of cancer prevention markers require access, by researchers, to quality clinical biospecimens. In response to this need, the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Cancer Diagnosis Program has developed and is expanding a searchable database: Specimen Resource Locator (SRL). The SRL allows scientists in the research community and the NCI to locate specimens needed for their research. The SRL will list all NCI-supported repositories and their links. This administrative submission is an online form that will collect information to manage and improve a program and its resources for the use of all scientists. This submission does not involve any analysis.

OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 105.

The Coast Guard published guidelines on December 31, 1992 (57 FR 62600), to assist groups seeking recertification under the Oil Terminal and Oil Tanker Environmental Oversight and Monitoring Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2732) (the Act). The Coast Guard issued a policy statement on July 7, 1993 (58 FR 36504), to clarify the factors that the Coast Guard would be considering in making its determination as to whether advisory groups should be certified in accordance with the Act, and the procedures which the Coast Guard would follow in meeting its certification responsibilities under the Act.

Most recently, on September 16, 2002 (67 FR 58440), the Coast Guard changed its policy on recertification procedures for regional citizen's advisory council by requiring applicants to provide comprehensive information every three years. For the two years in between, applicants only submit information describing substantive changes to the information provided at the last triennial recertification. This is the year in this triennial cycle that CIRCAC must provide comprehensive information.

The Coast Guard is accepting comments concerning the recertification of CIRCAC. At the conclusion of the comment period on August 4, 2023, the Coast Guard will review all application materials and comments received and will take one of the following actions:

(a) Recertify the advisory group under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o);

(b) Issue a conditional recertification for a period of 90 days, with a statement of any discrepancies, which must be corrected to qualify for recertification for the remainder of the year; or

(c) Deny recertification of the advisory group if the Coast Guard finds that the group is not broadly representative of the interests and communities in the area or is not adequately fostering the goals and purposes of 33 U.S.C. 2732.

The Coast Guard will notify CIRCAC by letter of the action taken on its application. A notice will be published in the Federal Register to advise the public of the Coast Guard's determination.

The STSAC is an advisory Committee established pursuant to section 1969, Division K, TSA Modernization Act, of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115-254; 132 Stat. 3186; Oct. 5, 2018). The Committee is composed of individual members representing key constituencies affected by surface transportation security requirements.

TSA is seeking applications for up to 15 members with specific expertise in surface transportation. Any person wishing to be considered for appointment to STSAC must provide the following:

• Complete professional resume.

• Statement of interest and reasons for application, including the membership category and how you represent a significant portion of that constituency, and a brief explanation of how you can contribute to one or more TSA strategic initiatives, based on your prior experience with TSA or your review of current TSA strategic documents that can be found at www.tsa.gov/about/strategy.

• Home and work addresses, telephone number, and email address.

In order for DHS to fully leverage broad-ranging experience and education, the STSAC must be diverse with regard to professional and technical expertise. DHS also is committed to pursuing opportunities, consistent with applicable law, to compose a committee that reflects the diversity of the nation's people.

The STSAC is composed of no more than 40 voting members from among stakeholders representing each mode of surface transportation, such as passenger rail, freight rail, mass transit, pipelines, highways, over-the-road bus, school bus industry, and trucking; and may include representatives from—

1. Associations representing such modes of surface transportation;

2. Labor organizations representing such modes of surface transportation;

3. Groups representing the users of such modes of surface transportation, including asset manufacturers, as appropriate;

4. Relevant law enforcement, first responders, and security experts; and

5. Such other groups as the TSA Administrator considers appropriate.

The STSAC also includes nonvoting members, serving in an advisory capacity, who are designated by TSA; the Department of Transportation; the Coast Guard; and such other Federal department or agency as the TSA Administrator considers appropriate.

The STSAC does not have a specific number of members allocated to any membership category and the number of members in a category may change to fit the needs of the Committee, but optimally each category is represented by a minimum of one individual. Members will serve as representatives and speak on behalf of their respective constituency group. Membership on the Committee is personal to the appointee and a member may not send an alternate to a Committee meeting. The members of the Committee shall not receive any compensation from the Government by reason of their service on the Committee.

Committee members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Administrator of TSA for a term of 2 years, but a voting member may continue to serve until the Administrator appoints a successor. Voting members who are currently serving on the Committee are eligible to reapply for membership. A new application is required.

The Committee shall meet as frequently as deemed necessary by the Designated Federal Official (DFO) in consultation with the Chairperson, but no less than two (2) scheduled meetings each year. At least one meeting will be open to the public each year. Unless the DFO decides otherwise, meetings will be held in person in the Washington, DC metropolitan area or through web conferencing. In addition, STSAC members are expected to participate on STSAC subcommittees that normally meet more frequently to deliberate and discuss specific surface transportation matters.

All applicants who are presented for appointment to the STSAC must successfully complete a Security Threat Assessment (STA) by TSA, as access to sensitive security information will be necessary. U.S. citizens and those meeting residency requirements will be vetted using TSA's Universal Enrollment Services (UES), which includes the collection of biographic and biometric information to allow TSA to perform the STA in regards to criminal history, intelligence, and citizenship. Selected applicants will be offered a no-cost authorization code to complete the three-step UES process; which includes online pre-enrollment and coordinating an in-person visit to the enrollment center. Non-U.S. applicants presented for appointment to the STSAC will be required to complete additional vetting.

This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in Section A.

The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the information collection for a period of 60 days was published on April 3, 2023 at 88 FR 19661.

Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of Public Housing Agencies (PHA) Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Waivers: PHA Interviews Data Collection.

OMB Approval Number: 2528-New.

Type of Request: New collection.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The purpose of this proposed information collection is to conduct semi-structured interviews with PHA staff and stakeholders to understand why and how PHAs utilized waivers offered by the CARES Act, and how these waivers impacted PHA operations and assisted households.

In early 2020, Congress passed and the President signed the CARES Act. The landmark statute was a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and contained many provisions related to mitigating its worst effects. Included were provisions that gave the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) statutory and regulatory waiver authority to help programs adapt and operate in the changing circumstances and to encourage the continuity of critical PHA operations in order to support PHA residents and tenants.

The Evaluation of Public Housing Agencies Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) Waivers is a mixed-method and multi-phase study to understand how PHAs implemented the CARES Act waivers and the utility of these waivers on general operations and assisted households. The insights from this study will also help inform future policy and program implications related to the waivers offered by the CARES Act.

2M will conduct semi-structured interviews with PHA stakeholders from a purposive sample of 50 PHAs. This includes interviews with three interview respondent groups (PHA leadership, PHA operations staff, and members of Resident Advisory Boards) from 45 PHAs that adopted waivers offered by the CARES Act (a total of 135 interviews with 135 respondents), and one group interview with PHA leadership and operations staff from five PHAs that did not adopt any waivers offered by the CARES Act (a total of 5 interviews with 10 respondents). Collectively, 2M plans to conduct a total of 140 interviews across 145 respondents. This data collection effort is expected to last five months.

Respondents: At PHAs that adopted a waiver: PHA leadership, PHA operations staff (such as outreach staff or other relevant staff with knowledge about the impact of the CARES Act waivers), and members of Resident Advisory Boards. At PHAs that did not adopt a waiver: PHA leadership and PHA operations staff.

Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35.

The temporary closure and temporary restrictions affect public lands within and adjacent to the Burning Man Event permitted on the Black Rock Desert playa within the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area in Pershing County, Nevada. The temporary closure of public lands will be conducted in two phases in order to limit impacts on the general public outside of the Burning Man Event. Phase 1 will encompass a smaller temporary closure area during the building and tear-down of Black Rock City, and Phase 2 will encompass the larger, temporary closure area during the event itself. Phase 2 includes all of the Phase 1 area.

The legal description of the affected public lands in the temporary public closure area of both stages is Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada:

Phase 1, being the smaller area of 9,941 acres, will be effective for 26 days prior to build week. Phase 1 resumes for 22 days following the end of Phase 2.

The area described contains 9,941 acres, more or less, according to the BLM National Public Land Survey System Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure (PLSS CadNSDI) dataset, the protraction diagrams, and the official plats of the surveys of the said lands, on file with the BLM.

Phase 2, being the larger area of 51,149 acres, includes all Phase 1 lands, will be effective for 20 days, which covers six (6) days prior to the event, the event itself, and five (5) days after the event.

The area described contains 51,149 acres, more or less, according to the BLM National PLSS CadNSDI, the protraction diagrams, and the official plats of the surveys of the said lands, on file with the BLM.

The two-phase temporary closure area is in Pershing County, Nevada, and is necessary for the specified period because of the Burning Man Event. The event's activities begin with the golden spike, fencing the site perimeter, Black Rock City setup (31 days), followed by the actual event (9 days), Black Rock City tear down and cleanup, and final site cleanup (26 days). This event is authorized on public land under a Special Recreation Permit.

The public temporary closure area comprises about 33 percent of the Black Rock Desert playa. Public access to the other 67 percent of the playa outside the temporary closure area will remain open to dispersed recreational use.

The event area is fully contained within the Phase 2 temporary closure area. The event area is defined as the portion of the temporary closure area that: (1) is entirely contained within the event perimeter fence, including 50 feet from the outside of the event perimeter fence; (2) lies within 25 feet from the outside edge of the event access road; and (3) includes the entirety of the aircraft parking area outside the event perimeter fence.

The temporary closure and restrictions are necessary to provide a safe environment for the staff, volunteers, participants, and members of the public visiting the Black Rock Desert, and to protect public land resources by addressing law enforcement and public safety concerns associated with the event. The temporary closure and temporary restrictions are also necessary to enable BLM law enforcement personnel to provide for public safety and to protect the public lands.

The event attracts up to 87,000 staff and participants to a remote, rural area, located more than 90 miles from urban infrastructure and support, including such services as public safety, emergency medical delivery, transportation, and communication. During the event Black Rock City, the temporary city associated with the event, becomes one of the largest populated areas in Nevada.

A temporary closure and restrictions order, under the authority of 43 CFR 8364.1, is appropriate for a single event. The temporary closure and restrictions are specifically tailored to the time frame that is necessary to provide a safe environment for the public and for participants at the Burning Man Event, and to protect public land resources while avoiding imposing restrictions that may not be necessary in the area during the remainder of the year.

The BLM will post copies of the temporary closure, temporary restrictions, and an associated map in kiosks at access points to the Black Rock Desert playa, as well as at the Gerlach Post Office, Bruno's Restaurant, Empire Store, Burning Man Project Offices, Friends of Black Rock-High Rock Office, the BLM-Nevada Black Rock Station near Gerlach, and the BLM-California Applegate Field Office. The BLM will also make the materials available on the BLM external web page at: http://www.blm.gov.

In addition to the Nevada Collateral Forfeiture and Bail Schedule as authorized by the United States District Court for the District of Nevada and under the authority of Section 303(a) of FLPMA, 43 CFR 8360.0-7, and 43 CFR 8364.1, the BLM will enforce a temporary public closure and the following temporary restrictions will apply within and adjacent to the Burning Man Event on the Black Rock Desert playa approximately thirty-one (31) days prior to the event until approximately twenty-six (26) days post-event.

(1) Fires/Campfires: The ignition of fires on the surface of the Black Rock Desert playa without a burn blanket or burn pan is prohibited. Campfires may only be burned in containers that are sturdily elevated six (6) inches above the playa surface and in a manner that does not pose a risk of fire debris falling onto the playa surface. Plastic and nonflammable materials may not be burned in campfires. The ignition of fires other than a campfire is prohibited. This restriction does not apply to events sanctioned and regulated as art burns by the event organizer.

(2) Fireworks: The use or possession of personal fireworks is prohibited except for uses of fireworks approved by the permit holder and used as part of a Burning Man sanctioned art burn event.

(3) Grey and Black Water Discharge: The discharge and dumping of grey and black water onto the playa/ground surface is prohibited. Grey water is defined as water that has been used for cooking, washing, dishwashing, or bathing and/or contains soap, detergent, or food scraps/residue, regardless of whether such products are biodegradable or have been filtered or disinfected. Black water is defined as wastewater containing feces, urine, and/or flush water.

(4) Human Waste: The depositing of human waste (liquid and/or solid) on the playa/ground surface is prohibited.

(5) Trash: The discharge of any and all trash or litter onto the ground/playa surface is prohibited. All event participants must pack out and properly dispose of all trash at an appropriate disposal facility.

(6) Hazardous Materials: The dumping or discharge of vehicle oil, petroleum products, or other hazardous household, commercial, or industrial refuse or waste onto the playa surface is prohibited. This applies to all recreational vehicles, trailers, motorhomes, port-a-potties, generators, and other camp infrastructure.

(c) Each camp storing liquid fuel must establish a designated fuel storage area at least ten (10) feet apart from combustible materials; twenty-five (25) feet from vehicles, camp trailers/RV's, generators, and any sources of ignition (such as burning cigarettes, open flame, electrical connections, or trailer/RV appliances); twenty (20) feet from LP-gas storage; and one hundred (100) feet from other designated liquid fuel storage areas.

(d) Fuel storage containers, regardless of size or type, shall not exceed 80 percent capacity per container.

(e) Storage areas for all liquid fuel, regardless of amount, and not exceeding 110 gallons, must include a secondary containment system that can hold a liquid volume equal to or greater than 110 percent of the largest container being stored. Secondary containment measures must comply with the following:

(i) The secondary containment system must be free of cracks or gaps and constructed of materials impermeable to the fuel(s) being stored.

(ii) The secondary containment system must be designed to allow the removal of any liquids captured from leaks, spills, or precipitation.

(8) Water Discharge: The unauthorized dumping or discharge of fresh water onto the playa surface, onto city streets or other public areas, or onto camp electric systems in a manner that creates a hazard or nuisance is prohibited. This provision does not prohibit the use of water trucks contracted by the event organizer to provide dust abatement measures.

In accordance with 43 CFR 2932: Vending and the Special Recreation Permit Additional Stipulations for the permitted event, all vendors and air carrier services must provide proof of authorization to operate at the event issued by the permitting agency and/or the permit holder upon request. Failure to provide such authorization could result in eviction from the event.

(1) The public closure area is closed to aircraft landing, takeoff, and taxiing. Aircraft is defined in Title 18, U.S.C., section 31 (a)(1), and includes lighter-than-aircraft and ultra-light craft. The following exceptions apply:

I. Background

DOL is developing a new public facing data service consistent with the requirements of title II of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018, the goals described in DOL's Enterprise Data Strategy, and feedback from a prior public request for information on how DOL can optimally structure its public data offerings available through Docket No. DOL-2021-0005 at www.regulations.gov.

To best ensure that this service will optimally meet current, evolving, and long range needs among public, private, and Federal data users, specifically with respect to the kinds of data offered, the formats of machine readable data made accessible, the software and services that can connect to the Application programming Interface (API), and the kinds of documentation provided, DOL anticipates collecting a limited number of characteristic data elements from prospective users. These data elements will guide DOL efforts to provide questions about familiarity with APIs usage, preferred software, questions about topics of analysis to ensure that our creation of tutorials, code examples, documentation, and data schema best reflect the collective needs of our users. The information will also be used to identify patterns and trends among users to inform proper administration of the service. DOL will not disclose any of the information being collected to the public.

DOL experience shows that the number of applicants to our public data services will vary considerably but will almost certainly exceed 10 or more persons (ref: 5 CFR 1320.3(c)(4)(ii)), so DOL seeks to obtain and maintain PRA clearance to conduct this information collection.

OASP is soliciting comments concerning an information collection of user registrations to access a public Application Programming Interface providing machine readable subsets of public data generated by DOL programs and activities. OASP is particularly interested in comments that:

• Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information has practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of OASP's estimate of the burden related to the information collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used in the estimate;

• Suggest methods to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the information collection on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

Background documents related to this information collection request are available at https://regulations.gov and at DOL-OASP, located at Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Room S2312, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20210. Questions about the information collection requirements may be directed to the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.

This information collection request concerns user registrations to access a public Application Programming Interface providing machine readable subsets of public data generated by DOL programs and activities. OASP has estimated the potential impact of this collection data with respect to the number of respondents, responses, burden hours, and burden costs supporting this information collection request from the previous information collection request.

Type of Review: New collection.

Agency: DOL-OASP.

Title of Collection: Registration for Public API.
