SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program: Form FNS–46, 

Issuance Reconciliation. 

Form Number: FNS–46. 

OMB Number: 0584–0080. 

Expiration Date: February 28, 2011. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Section 7(d) of the Food and 

Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended, (the 

Act) (7 U.S.C. 2016(d)), requires State 

agencies to report on their benefits 

issuance operations not less than 

monthly. Section 11(a) of the Act (7 

U.S.C. 2020(a)) requires State agencies 

to assume responsibility for the 

issuance, control, and accountability of 

benefits. Regulations at 7 CFR 274.4 (a) 

and 274.4(b)(2) require State agencies to 

account for all issuance through the 

reconciliations process and to submit a 

report on this process using Form FNS– 

46, Issuance Reconciliation Report. 

These reports must be submitted to the 

Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) 

monthly and must reach FNS no later 

than 90 days following the end of each 

report month. The FNS–46 report 

reflects the total issuance, returns, and 

unauthorized issuance amounts 

resulting in the net Federal obligation. 

With all States implementing EBT 

systems, the State have generally 

reduced the time they spend on 

reconciling SNAP benefit issuance and 

completing the FNS–46. Therefore, 

there is a corresponding reduction in 

the burden of collecting the FNS–46 

data. 

Affected Public: State, Local and 

Tribal Government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

54. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 12. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

648. 

Estimated Time per Response: 4.0 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2592 

hours annually. 

Dated: October 1, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Bees and Related Articles. 

OMB Number: 0579–0207. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Honeybee Act (7 

U.S.C. 281–286), the Secretary is 

authorized to prohibit or restrict the 

importation of honeybees and honeybee 

semen to prevent the introduction into 

the United States of diseases and 

parasites harmful to honeybees and of 

undesirable species such as the African 

honeybee. This authority has been 

delegated to the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS). 

Further, the Plant Protection Act 

(PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes 

the Secretary of Agriculture to prohibit 

or restrict the importation, entry, or 

interstate movement of plants, plant 

products, and other articles to prevent 

the introduction of plant pests into the 

United States or their dissemination 

within the United States. As with the 

Honeybee Act, APHIS has delegated 

authority for the PPA. 

The establishment of certain bee 

diseases, parasites, or undesirable 

species and subspecies of honeybees in 

the United States could cause 

substantial reductions in pollination by 

bees. These reductions could cause 

serious damage to crops and other 

plants and result in substantial financial 

losses to American agriculture. 

Regulations for the importation of 

honeybees and honeybee semen and 

regulations to prevent the introduction 

of exotic bee diseases and parasites 

through the importation of bees other 

than honeybees, certain beekeeping 

products, and used beekeeping 

equipment are contained in 7 CFR part 

322, ‘‘Bees, Beekeeping Byproducts, and 

Beekeeping Equipment.’’ These 

regulations require the use of certain 

information collection activities, 

including: An application for permit, 

appeals for denial of permit application 

and cancellation of permit, request for 

risk assessment, inspection report of 

containment facilities, request for 

release of containment, transit 

documentation, export certificate, notice 

of arrival, packaging and labeling, and 

recordkeeping by containment facilities. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

0.0352809 hours per response. 

Respondents: Importers and shippers 

of bees and related articles, foreign 

governments, and containment 

facilities. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 336. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 47.830357. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 16,071. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 567 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

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. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 4th day of 

October 2010.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.
