Animal Plant and Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Export Health Certificate for 

Animal Products. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0256. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is 

the primary Federal law governing the 

protection of animal health. The law 

gives the Secretary of Agriculture board 

authority to detect, control, or eradicate 

pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. 

The export of agricultural commodities, 

including animals and animal products, 

is a major business in the United States 

and contributes to a favorable balance of 

trade. To facilitate the export of U.S. 

animals and products, the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS), Veterinary Services maintains 

information regarding the import health 

requirements of other countries for 

animals and animal products exported 

from the United States. Many countries 

that import animal products from the 

United States require a certification 

from APHIS that the United States is 

free of certain diseases. These countries 

may also require that our certification 

statement contain additional 

declarations regarding the U.S. animal 

products being exported. Regulations 

pertaining to export certification of 

animals and animal products are 

contained in 9 CFR part 91. VS forms 

16–4 and VS 16–4A, Export Certificate 

for Animal Products and Export 

Certificate for Animal Products 

Continuation Sheet; a hearing request to 

appeal VS’ decision to refuse to grant a 

certificate; a notification of tampered 

certificate; and letterhead certification 

can be used to meet these requirements. 

Need and Use of the Information: VS 

forms 16–4 and 16–4A serve as the 

official certification that the United 

States is free of rinderpest, foot-andmouth disease, classical swine fever, 

swine vesicular disease, African swine 

fever, bovine fever, bovine spongiform 

encephalopathy, and contagious bovine 

pleuropneuomia. APHIS will collect the 

exporter’s name, address, the name and 

address of the consignee, the quantity, 

and unit of measure, type of product 

being exported, the exporter’s 

identification, and type of conveyance 

(ship, train, and truck) that will 

transport the products. The form also 

asks for any declarations the receiving 

country might require such as 

statements concerning where the 

product originated and how it was 

processed. Without the information, 

many countries would not accept 

animal products from the United States, 

creating a serious trade imbalance and 

adversely affecting U.S. exporters.

Title: Report of Disaster Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program Benefit 

Issuances and Report of Commodity 

Distribution for Disaster Relief. 

Form Number: FNS–292A and FNS– 

292B. 

OMB Number: 0584–0037. 

Expiration Date: 2/28/2021. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: This information collection 

pertains only to the recordkeeping 

burden associated with forms FNS– 

292A and FNS–292B. The reporting 

burden associated with these forms is 

approved under OMB No. 0584–0594 

(Food Program Reporting System; 

expiration date: 7/31/2023). The Food 

and Nutrition Service (FNS) utilizes 

forms FNS–292A and FNS–292B to 

collect information not otherwise 

available on the extent of FNS-funded 

disaster relief operations. 

The total number of respondents who 

could utilize commodities for disaster 

relief is approximately 190 State 

agencies and Indian Tribal 

Organizations administering the 

Commodity Supplemental Food 

Program (CSFP), the Emergency Food 

Assistance Program (TEFAP), the Food 

Distribution Program on Indian 

Reservations (FDPIR), or the USDA 

Foods in Schools program. However, the 

total number of State agencies 

potentially using this form in a given 

year is 108 (55 Food Distribution State 

agencies for Form FNS–292A; and, 53 

State SNAP agencies will maintain the 

Form FNS–292B). 

Form FNS–292A, Report of 

Commodity Distribution for Disaster 

Relief, is used by State distributing 

agencies, including Indian Tribal 

Organizations administering FDPIR or 

CSFP, to provide a summary report to 

FNS following termination of disaster 

commodity assistance and to request 

replacement of donated foods 

distributed during the disaster or 

situation of distress. Donated food 

distribution in disaster situations is 

authorized under Section 32 of the Act 

of August 24, 1935 (7 U.S.C. 612c); 

Section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 

1949 (7 U.S.C. 1431); Section 709 of the 

Food and Agriculture Act of 1965 (7 

U.S.C. 1446a–1); Section 4(a) of the 

Agriculture and Consumer Protection 

Act of 1973 (7 U.S.C. 612c note); and by 

Sections 412 and 413 of the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5179, 5180). 

Program implementing regulations are 

contained in Part 250 of Title 7 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). In 

accordance with 7 CFR 250.69(f) and 7 

CFR 250.70(f), State distributing 

agencies shall provide a summary report 

to FNS within 45 days following 

termination of the disaster assistance, 

and maintain records of these reports 

and other information relating to 

disasters. The number of disasters that 

will result in a State distributing agency 

requesting to operate a disaster 

commodity assistance in a given year is 

impossible to predict. However, 55 is 

the maximum number of State 

distributing agencies that have ever 

utilized disaster commodity assistance 

in a given year. Accordingly, FNS is 

estimating this burden by assuming that, 

at maximum, 55 State distributing 

agency will distribute donated foods 

during a disaster or situation of distress 

once per year. 

Form FNS–292B, Report of Disaster 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Benefit Issuance, is used by 53 State 

SNAP agencies to report to FNS the 

number of households and persons 

certified for Disaster Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program (D–SNAP) 

benefits as well as the value of benefits 

issued. D–SNAP is a separate program 

from the Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program (SNAP) and is 

authorized by Sections 402 and 502 of 

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act (42 

U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) and the temporary 

emergency provisions contained in 

Section 5 of the Food and Nutrition Act 

of 2008, and in 7 CFR part 280 of the 

SNAP regulations. State agencies may 

request FNS approval to operate a D– 

SNAP to address the temporary food 

needs of certain households in affected 

areas following a disaster after certain 

criteria is met. If approved to operate D– 

SNAP by FNS, a State agency must 

submit its final FNS–292B to FNS 

within 45 days of terminating D–SNAP 

operations, and maintain records of this 

report. Similarly, the number of 

disasters that result in a State SNAP 

agency requesting to operate D–SNAP in 

a given year is impossible to predict. 

However, FNS is estimating this burden 

assuming that, at maximum, each of the 

53 State SNAP agencies will request and 

be approved to operate D–SNAP once 

per year. 

Affected Public: State agencies that 

administer FNS disaster food relief 

activities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

108 State agencies: 55 Food Distribution 

State agencies for Form FNS–292A; 53 

State SNAP agencies for Form FNS– 

292B. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1 recordkeeping response 

per State distributing agency; 1 

recordkeeping responses per State 

SNAP agency. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

108. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

Recordkeeping burden for the State 

agencies is estimated to be 5 minutes 

(.0835 hours) per form FNS–292A per 

State distributing agency respondent, 

and 5 minutes (.0835 hours) per form 

FNS–292B per State SNAP agency 

respondent.

Mountain Valley Pipeline and Equitrans 

Expansion Project Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement; revised. 

SUMMARY: The USDA, Forest Service 

(FS) published a notice of intent to 

prepare a Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (SEIS) to the 2017 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC) Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) for the Mountain 

Valley Pipeline (MVP) and Equitrans 

Expansion Project in the Federal 

Register on July 30, 2020. The Notice of 

Intent (NOI) informed the public of the 

MVP project proposed action: To 

construct and operate a buried 42-inch 

natural gas pipeline across 

approximately 3.5 miles of the Jefferson 

National Forest (JNF). The NOI 

identified the FS as the lead agency and 

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

as the Federal cooperating agency. A 

corrected NOI has been prepared to 

update the responsible official for the 

FS, to update the applicability of the FS 

predecisional administrative review 

process, and to update contacts for both 

parties. 

DATES: The Draft SEIS was available on 

September 25, 2020 and the Final SEIS 

is anticipated in December, 2020. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information on this project, 

please contact Ken Arney, the Regional 

Forester for the Southern Region, by 

leaving a voicemail at: 1–888–603–0261. 

Individuals who use telecommunication

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and History 

The MVP is a proposed 303.5 mile 

interstate natural gas pipeline that 

crosses about 3.5 miles of the JNF, in 

Monroe County, West Virginia and Giles 

and Montgomery County, Virginia. The 

FS and the BLM participated as 

cooperating agencies with the FERC in 

the preparation of the MVP EIS. On June 

29, 2017, the Notice of Availability for 

the FERC FEIS and the FS Draft Record 

of Decision (ROD) for the Mountain 

Valley Project Land and Resource 

Management Plan Amendment was 

published in the Federal Register. 

On December 1, 2017, the FS adopted 

the FEIS and a ROD was signed by the 

JNF Forest Supervisor. The ROD 

amended the JNF Land and Resource 

Management Plan (Forest Plan) to allow 

the project to be consistent with the 

Forest Plan. The ROD included resource 

protection terms and conditions for the 

BLM to include should their decision be 

to grant a right-of-way (ROW). 

Therefore, both BLM and the FS have 

overlapping jurisdiction concerning the 

issuance of the terms and conditions, or 

stipulations included within the ROW 

grant. 

Under the Mineral Leasing Act (30 

U.S.C. 185 et seq.) (MLA), the BLM is 

the Federal agency responsible for 

issuing ROW grants for natural gas 

pipeline across Federal lands under the 

jurisdiction of two or more Federal 

agencies. The BLM is, therefore, 

responsible for considering the issuance 

of a ROW grant for the MVP for pipeline 

construction and operation across the 

lands under the jurisdiction of the FS 

and the United States Army Corps of 

Engineers (USACE). In 2017, the BLM 

received written concurrence to proceed 

from both Federal agencies and on 

December 20, 2017 issued a ROD 

approving the MLA ROW grant to 

construct and operate the MVP pipeline 

across Federal lands. The BLM ROD 

included a temporary use authorization. 

Project implementation began in 

December 2017 and continued until July 

27, 2018 when the Fourth Circuit Court 

of Appeals vacated and remanded the 

FS’s decision approving the JNF plan 

amendment and BLM’s MLA ROW 

decision. However, the Court vacated 

the BLM’s MLA ROW decision only as 

it related to the portion through FS 

lands; the ROW across USACE lands 

was not affected and that decision 

remains in place. The Fourth Circuit 

concluded that aspects of the FS 

decision failed to comply with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) and the National Forest 

Management Act (NFMA). The Court 

upheld the BLM’s adoption of and 

reliance on FERC’s FEIS as satisfying 

the requirements of NEPA in support of 

the MLA ROW decision across Federal 

lands. The Court, however, vacated 

BLM’s decision approving the MLA 

ROW across the JNF, concluding that 

the BLM did not analyze and determine 

whether the proposed route utilized 

rights-of-way in common to the extent 

practical, as required by the MLA, 30 

U.S.C. 185(p). 

On May 1, 2020, Mountain Valley 

Pipeline, LLC (Mountain Valley) 

submitted a revised MLA ROW 

application to the BLM seeking to 

construct and operate the natural gas 

pipeline across the JNF. Mountain 

Valley also requested that the FS amend 

the JNF Forest Plan consistent with the 

issues identified by the Fourth Circuit 

Court. On May 28, 2020, the BLM 

deemed Mountain Valley’s revised 

application complete. For more detailed 

information on the background and 

history of the MVP project, see the 

project website at: https://
