SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Procedures for the Notification 

of New Technology. 

OMB Number: 0583–0127. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 08/31/ 

2007. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the 

authority to exercise the functions of the 

Secretary as specified in the Federal 

Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 

601, et seq.), the Poultry Products 

Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et 

seq.), and the Egg Products Inspection 

Act (EPIA) (21 U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). 

These statutes provide that FSIS is to 

protect the public by verifying that 

meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, 

wholesome, unadulterated, and 

properly labeled and packaged. 

FSIS is requesting extension of an 

approved information collection 

addressing paperwork and 

recordkeeping requirements regarding 

new technology. 

FSIS has established procedures for 

notifying the Agency of any new 

technology intended for use in official 

establishments and plants (68 FR 6873).

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 84 / Wednesday, May 2, 2007 / Notices 24267 

To follow the procedures, 

establishments, plants, and firms that 

manufacture and sell technology to 

official establishments and plants notify 

the Agency by submitting documents 

describing the operation and purpose of 

the new technology. The documents 

should explain why the new technology 

will not: Adversely affect the safety of 

the product, jeopardize the safety of 

Federal inspection personnel, interfere 

with inspection procedures, or require a 

waiver to a regulation. In addition, if the 

new technology could adversely affect 

the safety of the product, jeopardize the 

safety of Federal inspection personnel, 

interfere with inspection procedures, or 

require a waiver to a regulation, 

submitters are to provide a protocol for 

an in-plant trial as part of a pre-use 

review. FSIS expects the submitter of a 

protocol to provide data to the Agency 

throughout the duration of the in-plant 

trial. 

FSIS has made the following 

estimates based upon an information 

collection assessment: 

Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates 

that it will take respondents an average 

of 29 hours per response. 

Respondents: Official establishments 

and plants; firms that manufacture or 

sell technology. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 290. 

Estimated No. of Annual Responses 

per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 8,400 hours. 

Copies of this information collection 

assessment can be obtained from John 

O’Connell, Paperwork Reduction Act 

Coordinator, Food Safety and Inspection 

Service, USDA, 300 12th Street, SW., 

Room 112, Washington, DC 20250– 

3700, (202) 720–5627, (202) 720–0345. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FSIS’ functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of FSIS’ estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

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. Comments may 

be sent to both John O’Connell, 

Paperwork Reduction Act Coordinator, 

at the address provided above, and the 

Desk Officer for Agriculture, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

Washington, DC 20253. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.

rulemaking and policy development is

SUMMARY: The Forest Service and the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are 

to designate which roads or trails on 

federal lands administered by the BLM 

and the Forest Service within the 

Gunnison Field Office area and the 

Gunnison National Forest are open to 

motorized and/or mechanized travel. In 

so doing, both agencies will meet 

commitments set forth in the 2001 

Gunnison Interim Travel Management 

Plan to further evaluate and analyze 

motorized travel needs on a route-byroute basis and comply with 

requirements of the Forest Service 2005 

Travel Management Rule (36 CFR part 

212) as well as policies for Public Lands 

found in the BLM Land Use Planning 

Handbook (H–1601–1). As a result of 

these travel management decisions, the 

Forest Service will produce a Motorized 

Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) depicting 

those routes on the Gunnison National 

Forest and the Gunnison Field Office 

Public lands that will remain open to 

motorized and/or mechanized travel. 

The MVUM will be the primary tool 

used to determine compliance and 

enforcement with motorized and 

mechanized vehicle use designations on 

the ground. Those existing routes and 

other user-created routes not designated 

open on the MVUM will be legally 

closed to motorized and mechanized 

travel. The decisions on motorized and
