Title: Child and Adult Care Food 

Program Regulations. 

OMB Number: 0584–0055. 

Expiration Date: June 30, 2007. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The Rule amends the Child 

and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) 

regulations to implement Section 199(b) 

of the Child Nutrition and WIC 

Reauthorization Act of 2004, Public Law 

108–265, which amended Section 

17(f)(3)(E)(iii) of the Richard B. Russell 

National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 

1766(f)(3)(E)(iii) to increase the duration 

of the tiering status determinations from 

three to five years for family or group 

day care homes participating in CACFP. 

This change, which was effective on 

June 30, 2004, applies to tiering status 

determinations for day care homes 

located in the attendance areas of 

elementary schools in which at least 

half of the enrolled children are 

certified eligible to receive free or 

reduced price school meals. The change 

also applies to tiering determinations for 

day care homes operated by providers 

whose households meet the eligibility 

guidelines for free or reduced price 

school meals. Day care home providers 

receive higher reimbursement rates (tier 

1) for CACFP meals served to children 

in care in those homes. 

Estimate of Burden: This change 

reduces the number of respondents per 

year by 768.

procedure for entry of specialty sugars 

into the United States as described in 7 

CFR part 2011.

DATES: Comments should be received on

of consideration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Specialty Sugar Import 

Certificates. 

OMB Number: 0551–0025. 

Expiration Date of Approval: February 

28, 2005. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: The quota system 

established by Presidential 

Proclamation 4941 of May 5, 1982, 

prevented the importation of certain 

sugars used for specialized purposes 

which originated in countries which did 

not have quota allocations. Therefore, 

the regulation at 15 CFR part 2011 

(Allocation of Tariff-Rate Quota on 

Imported Sugars, Syrups and Molasses, 

70434 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 233 / Monday, December 6, 2004 / Notices 

subpart B—Specialty Sugar) established 

terms and conditions under which 

certificates are issued permitting U.S. 

importers holding certificates to enter 

specialty sugars from specialty sugar 

source countries under the sugar tariffrate quotas (TRQ). Nothing in this 

subpart affects the ability to enter 

specialty sugars at the over-TRQ duty 

rates. Applicants for certificates for the 

import of specialty sugars must supply 

the information required by 15 CFR 

2011.205 to be eligible to receive a 

specialty sugar certificate. The specific 

information required on an application 

must be collected from those who wish 

to participate in the program in order to 

grant specialty sugar certificates, ensure 

that imported specialty sugar does not 

disrupt the current domestic sugar 

program, and administer the issuance of 

the certificates effectively. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 2 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Importers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

30. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 60 hours. 

Copies of this information collection 

can be obtained from Kimberly Chisley, 

the Agency Information Collection 

Coordinator, at (202) 720–2568. 

Request for Comments: The public is 

invited to submit comments and 

suggestions to the above address 

regarding the accuracy of the burden 

estimate, ways to minimize the burden, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, or any other 

aspect of this collection of information. 

Comments on issues covered by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act are most 

useful to OMB if received within 30 

days of publication of the Notice and 

Request for Comments, but should be 

submitted no later than 60 days from the 

date of this publication to be assured of 

consideration. All responses to this 

notice will be summarized and included 

in the request for OMB approval. All 

comments will also be a matter of public 

record. Persons with disabilities who

secret in the interest of foreign policy

information the premature disclosure of 

which would be likely to significantly 

frustrate implementation of a proposed 

agency action. (5 U.S.C. 552b. (c)(9)(B)) 

In addition, part of the discussion will 

relate solely to the internal personnel 

and organizational issues of the BBG or
