proclamation from the public domain. It gives individuals the right to search for and extract valuable mineral deposits of
locatable minerals and secure title to the lands involved. Recording that claim in
the local courthouse and with the appropriate BLM State Office affords protection to the mining claimant from subsequent locators. A mining claimant

Allotment Act (16 U.S.C. 590h (g)) authorizes producers to assign FSA conservation program payments in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary. The Assignment of Payments regulation at 7 CFR part 1404 requires that any such assignment be signed by both the assignor and the assignee. The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, extends that authority to CCC programs, including rice, feed grains, cotton, and wheat. There are no FSA or CCC regulations governing joint payments, but this service is offered as a result of public requests for this type of payment option, and is authorized by
the CCC–37 form.

The burden hours have decreased due to a provision in the 2014 Farm Bill that has exempted some programs from being subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act. In addition, some producers are expected to participate in the certain, new programs authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill: the Agricultural Risk Coverage, Price Loss Coverage, and Dairy Margin Protection Program (DMPP). The CCC–36 and CCC–37 are applicable to certain FSA and CCC programs that permit an assignment.

The formula used to calculate the total burden hour is estimated average time per responses hours times total annual responses.

Estimate of Respondent Burden: Public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 10 minutes per response for each form of CCC–36, CCC–37, and CCC–251, and 5 minutes per response
for CCC–252.

Respondents: Individuals or households, businesses or other for profit farms.

Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 51,403 for CCC–36; 14,307 for CCC–37, 200 for CCC–251 and 200
for CCC–252.

Estimated Number of Reponses Per Respondent: 1.

Estimated Total Annual Responses:

66,110.

Estimated Average Time per Response: 0.166.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 11,002.

We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information collection to help us to:

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the FSA, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA’s estimate of burden including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected;

(4) 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.

All comments received in response to this notice, including names and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the submission for Office of Management and Budget approval.

Signed on January 23, 2015.

I. Background

To enhance the safety of our food, three Federal agencies—CDC, FDA, and FSIS—teamed up in 2011 to create the IFSAC. The goal of this collaboration is to improve coordination of Federal foodsafety analytic efforts and address crosscutting priorities for food safety data collection, analysis and use. The current
focus of IFSAC’s activities is foodborne illness source attribution, defined as the process of estimating the most common food sources responsible for specific foodborne illnesses. Projects and studies conducted by IFSAC aim to identify foods that are primary sources of
illnesses.

Federal agencies and food safety experts rely on attribution studies toinfluence strategic planning and riskVerDate Sep<11>2014 16:41 Jan 27, 2015 Jkt 235001 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\28JAN1.SGM 28JAN1mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
