4532 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 18 / Wednesday, January 28, 2015 / Notices 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 food 

safety 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 to 

influence strategic planning and riskmstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 18 / Wednesday, January 28, 2015 / Notices 4533 

based decision-making, support 

development of regulations, and 

conduct risk assessments, among other 

activities. By bringing together data 

from CDC, FDA, FSIS, and other 

sources, and by developing sound 

analytical methods, IFSAC can improve 

estimates of the sources of foodborne 

illness. 

Since its start in 2011, IFSAC has 

worked jointly on a number of analytic 

projects with the overall objective of 

advancing knowledge, methods, and 

data associated with foodborne illness 

attribution. In January 2012, IFSAC held 

its first public meeting and presented 

the IFSAC Strategic Plan, which 

included a variety of short and longterm goals, along with information 

about current and future projects. Please 

go to the following Web page for more 

information on the previous public 

meeting: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/

portal/fsis/newsroom/meetings/pastmeetings/past-meetings-2012#IFSAC . 

In addition to the public meeting in 

2012, IFSAC has also hosted two public 

webinars on results of existing projects, 

materials from which are available on 

the IFSAC public Web site at: http://

www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/ifsac/

index.html. In addition to material from 

IFSAC-hosted webinars, the IFSAC Web 

site serves as a venue to share 

information with the public on IFSAC 

activities. 

At this public meeting, IFSAC will 

provide updates on completed and 

ongoing projects, focusing particularly 

on a key project where IFSAC 

developed, for the first time, a single 

approach to producing harmonized 

foodborne illness source attribution 

estimates from outbreak data for 

Salmonella, E. coli O157, Listeria, and 

Campylobacter. IFSAC will provide an 

overview of the projects’ approach, 

analytical methods, results, and the 

utility of estimated attribution. 

II. Registration and Meeting Materials 

There is no fee to register for the 

public meeting, but pre-registration is 

mandatory for participants attending 

both in-person and via webcast. On-site 

registration will not be permitted. Early 

registration is recommended as space is 

limited. All attendees (in-person and via 

webcast) must register online at http:// 

www.fsis.usda.gov/meetings by 

February 17, 2015. A Webcast link will 

be provided to participants when 

meeting registration is completed. 

Meeting materials will be posted before 

the public meeting at http://

www.fsis.usda.gov/meetings and http://

www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/ifsac/

index.html. 

III. Public Comments and Participation 

in Meeting 

Public Comments: Oral Comments 

Stakeholders will have an opportunity 

to provide oral comments during the 

public meeting. Due to the anticipated 

high level of interest in the opportunity 

to make public comments and the 

limited time available to do so, IFSAC/ 

FSIS would like to maximize the 

number of individuals who provide oral 

comments at the meeting and will do its 

best to accommodate all persons who 

wish to express an opinion. IFSAC/FSIS 

encourages persons and groups who 

have similar interests to consolidate 

their information for presentation by a 

single representative. 

After reviewing the oral presentation 

requests, IFSAC/FSIS will notify each 

participant before the meeting if their 

presentation request is granted, and, if 

so, the amount of time they will have to 

present and remind them of the 

presentation format (e.g., 3-minute oral 

presentation without visual media). 

There will not be an opportunity to 

display materials such as slide shows, 

videos, or other media during the 

meeting. Requests to provide oral 

presentation on the day of the meeting 

will only be granted if time permits. 

Interested persons and organizations 

who desire an opportunity to make an 

oral presentation and will attend the 

meeting in-person must register in 

advance by February 9, 2015, by 

contacting Juanita Yates (see contact 

information in ‘‘Further Information’’ 

section above) with your name, title, 

firm name, address, and phone and FAX 

numbers as well as the full text, 

comprehensive outline, or summary of 

your oral presentation. Interested 

persons and organizations who will 

attend the meeting via webcast must 

submit written comments as a telephone 

conference line will not be available for 

the meeting. 

Public Comments: Written Comments 

Any stakeholders wishing to submit 

written comments before or after the 

meeting can do so on or before April 30, 

2015, using any of the following

Question-and-Answer Periods 

Time has been allotted for audience 

questions after most presentations 

delivered during the meeting. In-person 

participants will have the opportunity 

to ask questions via a microphone in the 

auditorium, but due to the lack of a 

conference telephone line, webcast

written questions into the virtual 

meeting tool and these questions will be 

read aloud by meeting logistics 

managers. 

IV. Transcripts and Video Recording
