Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 244 / Friday, December 19, 2014 / Notices 75785 

Background 

Codex was established in 1963 by two 

United Nations organizations, the Food 

and Agriculture Organization and the 

World Health Organization. Through 

adoption of food standards, codes of 

practice, and other guidelines 

developed by its committees, and by 

promoting their adoption and 

implementation by governments, Codex 

seeks to protect the health of consumers 

and ensure that fair practices are used 

in trade. 

The CCMAS is responsible for 

defining the criteria appropriate to 

Codex Methods of Analysis and 

Sampling; serving as a coordinating 

body for Codex with other international 

groups working in methods of analysis 

and sampling and quality assurance 

systems for laboratories; specifying the 

basis of final recommendations 

submitted to it by other bodies; 

considering, amending, and endorsing, 

methods of analysis and sampling 

proposed by Codex (Commodity) 

Committees, except that methods of 

analysis and sampling for residues of 

pesticides or veterinary drugs in food, 

the assessment of microbiological 

quality and safety in food, and the 

assessment of specifications for food 

additives do not fall within the terms of 

reference of this Committee. The 

Committee is charged with elaborating 

sampling plans and procedures; 

considering specific sampling and 

analysis problems submitted to it by the 

Commission or any of its Committees; 

defining procedures, protocols, 

guidelines, or related texts for the 

assessment of food laboratory 

proficiency; and developing quality 

assurance systems for laboratories. 

The Committee is hosted by Hungary. 

Issues To Be Discussed at the Public 

Meeting 

The following items on the agenda for 

the 36th Session of CCMAS will be 

discussed during the public meeting: 

• Methods of Analysis and Sampling in 

Codex Standards at different steps 

• Proposed Draft Principles for the Use 

of Sampling and Testing in 

International Food Trade-Explanatory 

notes and practical examples 

• Discussion paper on development of 

procedures/guidelines for 

determining equivalency to type I 

methods 

• Discussion paper on criteria approach 

for methods which use a sum of 

components 

• Review and update of methods in 

Codex Stan 234–1999 (Recommended 

Methods of Analysis and Sampling) 

• Follow-up methods of analysis and 

sampling plans 

• Other Business and Future Work 

Each issue listed will be fully 

described in documents distributed, or 

to be distributed, by the Secretariat prior 

to the Committee meeting. Members of 

the public may access or request copies 

of these documents (see ADDRESSES). 

Public Meeting 

At the February 5, 2015 public 

meeting, draft U.S. positions on the 

agenda items will be described, 

discussed, and attendees will have the 

opportunity to pose questions and offer 

comments. Written comments may be 

offered at the meeting or sent to the U.S. 

Delegate for the 36th Session of CCMAS, 

Gregory Noonan (see ADDRESSES). 

Written comments should state that they 

relate to activities of the 36th Session of 

CCMAS.

from other Federal agencies. 

The Chairperson of the CSB has 

appointed the following individuals to 

the CSB Senior Executive Service PRB: 

PRB Members—Fran Leonard, Chief 

of Staff, Federal Mediation and 

Conciliation Service serves as Chair of 

the PRB. William Huneke, Director, 

Office of Economics, Surface 

Transportation Board will serve as a 

Member of the PRB.

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the

Chapter 35). 

Agency: International Trade 

Administration. 

Title: Steel Import License.

Steel Import License proposed by the 

International Trade Administration of 

the DOC is the tool used to collect the 

necessary information. The Census

and disseminates aggregate information 

about steel imports. However, the time 

required to collect, process, and 

disseminate this information through 

Census can take up to 70 days after 

importation of the product, giving 

interested parties and the public far less 

time to respond to injurious sales. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
