[Docket No. NRCS–2018–0006] 

Notice of Recommended Standard 

Methods for Use as Soil Health 

Indicator Measurements 

AGENCY: Natural Resources 

Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

proposed technical note 

‘‘Recommended Soil Health Indicators 

and Associated Laboratory Procedures’’ 

for public review and comment. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the 

intention of NRCS to issue a technical 

note on a group of recommended 

standard methods for soil health 

indicators selected by a collaborative 

multi-organizational effort, as described 

in the document. USDA/NRCS and 

partner efforts to assess soil health 

problems and impacts of management 

nationally, as part of conservation 

planning and implementation, will be 

facilitated if soil health indicators are 

measured using a standard set of 

methods. Soil health is defined as the 

capacity of the soil to function as a vital 

living ecosystem to sustain plants, 

animals, and humans. Six key soil 

physical and biological processes were 

identified that must function well in a 

healthy soil, and therefore would 

especially benefit from measurement 

methods standardization: (1) Organic 

matter dynamics and carbon 

sequestration, (2) soil structural 

stability, (3) general microbial activity, 

(4) C food source, (5) bioavailable N, 

and (6) microbial community diversity. 

The chosen methods met several criteria 

including indicator effectiveness with 

respect to management sensitivity and 

process interpretability, ease of use, cost 

effectiveness, measurement 

repeatability, and ability to be used for 

agricultural management decisions. The 

soil health indicator methods included 

are soil organic carbon (dry 

combustion), water-stable aggregation 

(Mikha and Rice, 2004), short-term 

mineralizable carbon (Schindelbeck et 

al., 2016), four enzymes: b-glucosidase 

(Deng and Popova, 2011), N-acetyl-b-Dglucosaminidase (Deng and Popova, 

2011), acid or alkaline phosphatase 

(Acosta-Martı ́nez and Tabatabai, 2011), 

and arylsulfatase (Klose et al., 2011), 

permanganate oxidizable carbon 

(Schindelbeck et al. 2016), autoclaved 

citrate extractable (ACE) protein 

(Schindelbeck et al. 2016), and 

phospholipid fatty acid analysis (Buyer 

and Sasser 2012). Standard operating 

procedures to be used in laboratories 

have been provided in the appendices. 

DATES:

Applicable Date: This is Applicable 

September 14, 2018. 

Comment Date: Submit comments on 

or before December 13, 2018. A final

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security (BIS), Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Commerce, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on 

proposed and/or continuing information 

collections, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, written 

comments must be submitted on or 

before November 13, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to Jennifer Jessup, Departmental 

Paperwork Clearance Officer, 

Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue NW, Room 6616, 

Washington, DC 20230 (or via the 

internet at docpra@doc.gov.) 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Mark Crace, BIS ICB Liaison, 

(202) 482–8093 or at mark.crace@

bis.doc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The collection is necessary under 

Section 750.9 of the Export 

Administration Regulation (EAR) which 

outlines the process for obtaining a 

duplicate license when a license is lost 

or destroyed. Section 750.10 of the EAR 

explains the procedure for transfer of 

ownership of validated export licenses. 

Both activities are services provided 

after the license approval process. The 

supporting statement will use the terms 

‘‘transfer’’ and ‘‘duplicate’’ to 

distinguish the unique activities of each. 

When no distinction is made, the 

response supports both activities. 

II. Method of Collection 

Transfer: When a request to transfer a 

license or licenses is received, BIS 

reviews the proposed transfer, and if 

approved, submits a validated letter 

authorizing the transfer of ownership. 

Duplicate: When a request for a 

duplicate license is received, the 

original license is found in BIS’s Export 

Control Automated Support System 

(ECASS) and the duplicate is then 

issued by ECASS. The request for a
