OMB Control Number: 0524–New. Summary of Collection: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) administer several competitive, peer-reviewed research, education, and extension programs, under which awards of high-priority are made. These programs are authorized pursuant to the authorities contained in the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977, as amended (7 U.S.C. 3101), the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, as amended (Pub. L. 107–293, 2002) and other legislative authorities. NIFA also
administers several formula funded research programs. The programs are authorized pursuant to the authorities
contained in the McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Research Act of October 10, 1962 (16 U.S.C. 582a–582a– 7) (McIntire-Stennis Act); the Hatch Act of 1887, as amended (7 U.S.C. 361a–i) (Hatch Act); Section 1445 of Public Law 95–113, the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977, as amended (7 U.S.C. 3222) (Pub.

Administrative Manual for the McIntireStennis Cooperative Forestry Research Program, the Administrative Manual for the Hatch Research Program, the
Administrative Manual for the EvansAllen Cooperative Agricultural Research Program, and the Administrative Manual for the Continuing Animal Health and Disease Research Program. NIFA is developing administrative regulations for the formula funded programs it administers. NIFA plans todeploy REEport as NIFA’s singular nonformula (including competitive grants) and formula grant project reporting system, building on and replacing the existing Current Research Information System (CRIS) Web forms system.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title: Commercial Transportation of Equines for Slaughter.

OMB Control Number: 0579–0332. Type of Request: Revision to and extension of approval of an information
collection.

Abstract: Under the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (‘‘the Farm Bill’’), Congress gave responsibility to the Secretary of Agriculture to regulate the commercial transportation within the United States of equines for slaughter. Sections 901– 905 of the Farm Bill (7 U.S.C. 1901 note) authorized the Secretary to issue guidelines for the regulation of commercial transportation of equines for slaughter by persons regularly engaged in that activity within the
United States. As a result of that authority, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) established regulations in 9 CFR part 88, ‘‘Commercial Transportation of Equines for Slaughter.’’

The minimum standards cover, among other things, the food, water, and rest provided to such equines prior to transportation. The regulations also require the owner/shipper of the


### 44002 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 145 / Tuesday, July 29, 2014 / Notices

1 See note 3, infra. equines to take certain actions in loading and transporting the equines and to certify that the commercial transportation meets certain requirements. In addition, the regulations prohibit the commercial transportation for slaughter of equines considered to be unfit for travel, the use of electric prods on such animals in commercial transportation for slaughter,
and the use of double-deck trailers for commercial transportation of equines for slaughter.

These regulations require information collection activities, including a USDA– APHIS Owner/Shipper Certificate Fitness to Travel to a Slaughter Facility Form/Continuation Sheet (Veterinary Services-VS Forms 10–13/10–13A), maintaining copies of the signed VS Forms 10–13/10–13A, and the
collection of business information from any individual or other entity found to be transporting horses for slaughter.

This notice includes the information collection requirements currently approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the commercial transportation of equines for slaughter
under OMB control numbers 0579–0332
and 0579–0160. These collection activities are collecting the same information; therefore, we are combining them. As a result, we have adjusted the values in the burden summary to reflect the values listed in
the most recent renewal of OMB control
number 0579–0160. After OMB approves and combines the burden for
both collections under one collection (0579–0332), the USDA will retire OMB
control number 0579–0160.

We are asking OMB to approve our
use of these information collection activities, as described, 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 0.7483 hours per response.

Respondents: Owners and shippers of slaughter horses, owners or operators of slaughtering facilities, and drivers of the transport vehicles.

Estimated annual number of respondents: 300.

Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 43.666.

Estimated annual number of

responses: 13,100.

Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 9,803 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 23rd day of July 2014.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

I. Procedural History

On March 17, 2008, Darryl W. Jackson, the then-Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Enforcement (‘‘Assistant Secretary’’), signed a TDO denying Mahan Airways’ export privileges for a period of 180 days on the grounds that its issuance was necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation of the Regulations. The TDO also named as denied persons Blue Airways, of Yerevan, Armenia (‘‘Blue Airways of Armenia’’), as well as the ‘‘Balli Group Respondents,’’ namely, Balli Group PLC, Balli Aviation, Balli Holdings, Vahid Alaghband, Hassan Alaghband, Blue Sky One Ltd., Blue Sky Two Ltd., Blue Sky Three Ltd., Blue Sky Four Ltd., Blue Sky Five Ltd., and Blue Sky Six Ltd., all of the United Kingdom. The
TDO was issued ex parte pursuant to Section 766.24(a), and went into effect on March 21, 2008, the date it was published in the Federal Register

.

The TDO subsequently has been
renewed in accordance with Section 766.24(d), including most recently on
