13738 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 56 / Friday, March 23, 2007 / Notices 

contains procedures that provide relief 

for State agencies from all or a part of 

a QC liability when a State agency can 

demonstrate that a part or all of an 

excessive error rate was due to an 

unusual event that had an 

uncontrollable impact on the State 

agency’s payment error rate. This is 

referred to as the good cause process. 

The approved burden for the QC 

system includes the burden for the QC 

sampling plan, the arbitration process, 

and the good cause process. The annual 

reporting burden associated with the QC 

sampling plan remains at 265 hours. We 

estimate the annual reporting burdens 

associated with arbitration and good 

cause processes to total 350 hours and 

160 hours respectively. The decrease in 

the proposed burden from the currently 

approved 1643 to 350 hours for the 

arbitration process is due to a redetermination in the number of State 

agencies estimated to respond from 53 

to 14 and to the estimated number of 

responses per State agency from 3.1 to 

2.5. These decreases are a result of State 

agencies more frequently agreeing with 

FNS’ findings. The proposed annual 

reporting burden for the good cause 

process is unchanged from the currently 

approved burden of 160 hours. 

The proposed annual recordkeeping 

burden associated with the QC sampling 

plan is 1.25 hours per year. The 

proposed annual recordkeeping burdens 

associated with arbitration and good 

cause processes are estimated to total 

.83 and .0236 hours respectively. The 

recordkeeping burden for the arbitration 

process decreased from 3.89 hours to .83 

hours due to a re-determination in the 

estimated number of affected State 

agencies from 53 to 14 and the 

estimated number of responses per State 

decreased from 3.1 to 2.5. The 

recordkeeping burden for the good 

cause process decreased from 1.25 to 

.0236 hours due to a re-determination in 

the estimated number of affected State 

agencies from 53 to 1 per year. The total 

annual burden for the QC system, as 

proposed by this notice, decreased from 

2074 to 777 hours.

provides for in the World Trade 

Organization (WTO) Agreement on 

Agriculture. 

SUMMARY: This notice lists the updated 

quantity trigger levels for products, 

which may be subject to additional 

import duties under the safeguard 

provisions of the WTO Agreement on 

Agriculture. This notice also includes 

the relevant period applicable for the 

trigger levels on each of the listed 

products. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 23, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Article 5 

of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture 

provides that additional import duties 

may be imposed on imports of products 

subject to tariffication as a result of the 

Uruguay Round if certain conditions are 

met. The agreement permits additional 

duties to be charged if the price of an 

individual shipment of imported 

products falls below the average price 

for similar goods imported during the 

years 1986–88 by a specified percentage. 

It also permits additional duties to be 

imposed if the volume of imports of an 

article exceeds the average of the most 

recent 3 years for which data are 

available by 5, 10, or 25 percent, 

depending on the article. These 

additional duties may not be imposed 

on quantities for which minimum or 

current access commitments were made 

during the Uruguay Round negotiations, 

and only one type of safeguard, price or 

quantity, may be applied at any given 

time to an article. Section 405 of the 

Uruguay Round Agreements Act 

requires that the President cause to be 

published in the Federal Register 

information regarding the price and 

quantity safeguards, including the 

quantity trigger levels, which must be 

updated annually based upon import 

levels during the most recent 3 years. 

The President delegated this duty to the 

Secretary of Agriculture in Presidential 

Proclamation No. 6763, dated December 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES

Secretary of Agriculture further 

delegated the duty to the Administrator 

of the Foreign Agricultural Service (7 

CFR 2.43(a)(2) (2007)). The Annex to 

this notice contains the updated 

quantity trigger levels. 

Additional information on the 

products subject to safeguards and the 

additional duties which may apply can 

be found in subchapter IV of Chapter 99 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (2007) and in the 

Secretary of Agriculture’s Notice of 

Uruguay Round Agricultural Safeguard 

Trigger Levels, published in the Federal 

Register at 60 FR 427, (Jan. 4, 1995). 

Notice: As provided in section 405 of 

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, 

consistent with Article 5 of the 

Agreement on Agriculture, the safeguard 

quantity trigger levels previously 

notified are superceded by the levels 

indicated in the Annex to this notice. 

The definitions of these products were 

provided in the Notice of Uruguay 

Round Agricultural Safeguard Trigger

Unit comprising approximately 38,885 

acres on the Island of Hawaii. 

Research on these experimental forest 

units shall be administered in 

accordance with applicable laws and 

the Cooperative Agreement between the 

United States Department of 

Agriculture, Forest Service, and the

State managed lands on the island of 

Hawaii. The Department of Agriculture, 

Forest Service, and the State of Hawaii, 

Board of Land and Natural Resources, 

have agreed on the conduct of 

cooperative research activities on the 

two units.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Grand 

Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison 

National Forests (GMUG) are managed 

as a single administrative unit. The 

National Forest Management Act 

(NFMA) requires that all forest land 

management plans (Plans) be revised 

every 10–15 years. The current GMUG 

Plan was completed in 1983, and 

subsequently amended numerous times. 

The Plan needs to be updated to address 

changes that have occurred in and 

around the GMUG during the past two 

decades. There have been substantial 

changes in social, economic, and 

ecological conditions. Some of these 

include major population growth, 

dramatic increases in OHV use, the 

spread of invasive species, and the 

encroachment of development into the 

wildland interface. In addition, there are 

new laws, policies, and regulations and 

scientific research and technical 

developments that need to be 

incorporated into the Plan. Once 

finalized, the Plan will guide future 

programs and projects on the Forest.
