Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 2 / Tuesday, January 4, 2022 / Notices 233 

* The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted 

to end its Laboratory Accreditation Program for 

Substance Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998. 

Laboratories certified through that program were 

accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as 

required by U.S. Department of Transportation 

(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the certification 

of those accredited Canadian laboratories will 

continue under DOT authority. The responsibility 

for conducting quarterly performance testing plus 

periodic on-site inspections of those LAPSAaccredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S. 

HHS, with the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to 

have an active role in the performance testing and 

laboratory inspection processes. Other Canadian 

laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP 

may apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as 

U.S. laboratories do. 

At this time, there are no laboratories 

certified to conduct drug and specimen 

validity tests on oral fluid specimens.

Background 

Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1505 and 

Treasury Decision 85–93, published in 


tkelley on DSK125TN23PROD with NOTICE 
234 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 2 / Tuesday, January 4, 2022 / Notices 

the Federal Register on May 29, 1985 

(50 FR 21832), the interest rate paid on 

applicable overpayments or 

underpayments of customs duties must 

be in accordance with the Internal 

Revenue Code rate established under 26 

U.S.C. 6621 and 6622. Section 6621 

provides different interest rates 

applicable to overpayments: One for 

corporations and one for noncorporations. 

The interest rates are based on the 

Federal short-term rate and determined 

by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on 

behalf of the Secretary of the Treasury 

on a quarterly basis. The rates effective 

for a quarter are determined during the 

first-month period of the previous 

quarter. 

In Revenue Ruling 2021–24, the IRS 

determined the rates of interest for the 

calendar quarter beginning January 1, 

2022, and ending on March 31, 2022. 

The interest rate paid to the Treasury for 

underpayments will be the Federal 

short-term rate (0%) plus three 

percentage points (3%) for a total of 

three percent (3%) for both corporations 

and non-corporations. For corporate 

overpayments, the rate is the Federal 

short-term rate (0%) plus two 

percentage points (2%) for a total of two 

percent (2%). For overpayments made 

by non-corporations, the rate is the 

Federal short-term rate (0%) plus three 

percentage points (3%) for a total of 

three percent (3%). These interest rates 

used to calculate interest on overdue 

accounts (underpayments) and refunds 

(overpayments) of customs duties 

remain the same from the previous 

quarter. These interest rates are subject 

to change for the calendar quarter 

beginning April 1, 2022, and ending on 

June 30, 2022. 

For the convenience of the importing 

public and U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection personnel, the following list

Request for Information To Inform 

Interagency Efforts To Develop the 

American Conservation and 

Stewardship Atlas 

AGENCY: Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Request for information and 

notice of public listening sessions. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Interior (Department), on behalf of an 

interagency working group co-led with 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ), Department of Agriculture 

(USDA), and Department of Commerce 

(DOC) through National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is 

soliciting comments to inform how the 

American Conservation and 

Stewardship Atlas (Atlas) can best serve 

as a useful tool for the public and how 

it should reflect a continuum of 

conservation actions in the America the 

Beautiful initiative, recognizing that 

many uses of lands and waters can be 

consistent with the long-term health of 

natural systems and contribute to 

addressing climate change and 

environmental injustices. The input 

received will be used to develop the 

Atlas. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments by 11:59 p.m. on 

March 7, 2022. 

The interagency group will host 

virtual public listening sessions at the 

dates and times below. 

• Thursday, January 13, 2022, 2:00–3:30 

p.m. ET 

• Wednesday, January 19, 2022, 6:00– 

7:30 p.m. ET 

• Friday, January 21, 2022, 11:00 a.m.– 

12:30 p.m. ET 

Specific details will be posted on the 

Department’s America the Beautiful web 

page on January 4, 2022. Listening 

sessions may end before the time noted 

above if all those participating have 

completed their oral comments. 

ADDRESSES: Comments must be 

submitted through https://

www.regulations.gov and will be 

available for public viewing and 

inspection. In the Search box, enter the 

docket number presented above in the 

document headings. For best results, do 

not copy and paste the number; instead, 

type the docket number into the Search 

box using hyphens. Then, click on the

Office of the Secretary, Department of 

the Interior, (202) 208–1923. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Section 216(a) of Executive Order 

14008 established the first-ever national 

conservation goal, calling for the 

conservation of ‘‘at least 30 percent of 

U.S. lands and waters by 2030.’’ In 

accordance with Executive Order 14008, 

the Department, USDA, DOC, and CEQ 

released the Conserving and Restoring 

America the Beautiful report on May 6, 

2021. The report calls for a decade-long 

national initiative to advance locally led 

conservation and restoration on public, 

private, and Tribal lands and waters. It 

acknowledges—and celebrates—the 

wide-ranging contributions that diverse 

conservation efforts can make to the 

initiative and its goals of tackling 

climate change, sustaining biodiversity, 

and increasing equitable access to 

nature. 

The report emphasizes that there is a 

continuum of conservation in America 

that aligns with the guiding principles 

of the initiative. These core principles 

commit the effort to: 

• Pursue a Collaborative and Inclusive 

Approach to Conservation 

• Conserve America’s Lands and Waters 

for the Benefit of All People 

• Support Locally Led and Locally 

Designed Conservation Efforts 

• Honor Tribal Sovereignty and Support 

the Priorities of Tribal Nations 

• Pursue Conservation and Restoration 

Approaches that Create Jobs and 

Support Healthy Communities 

• Honor Private Property Rights and 

Support the Voluntary Stewardship 

Efforts of Private Landowners and 

Fishers 

• Use Science as a Guide 

• Build on Existing Tools and Strategies 

with an Emphasis on Flexibility and 

Adaptive Approaches 

The report also outlines the six areas 

of focus that elected officials, Tribal 

leaders, and stakeholders lifted up as 

early opportunities for successful 

collaboration: Creating more parks and 

safe outdoor opportunities in naturedeprived communities; supporting 

Tribally led conservation and 

restoration priorities; expanding 

collaborative conservation of fish and 

wildlife habitats and corridors; 

increasing access for outdoor recreation; 

incentivizing and rewarding the 

voluntary conservation efforts of fishers, 

ranchers, farmers, and forest owners; 

and creating jobs by investing in 

restoration and resilience. 

The report specifies that an 

interagency working group will develop 

an Atlas through interagency 

collaboration to develop and track a 

clear baseline of information on lands 

and waters that are conserved or 

restored. The Atlas is intended to be an 

accessible, updated, and comprehensive 

tool through which to measure the 

progress of conservation, stewardship, 

and restoration efforts in a manner that 

reflects the goals and principles of the 

initiative. The interagency group, co-led 

by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 

within the Department as well as USDA 

and NOAA, in partnership with CEQ 

and other Federal agencies, will develop 

the Atlas with input from the public, 

States, Tribal Nations, scientists, and a 

wide range of stakeholders. While 

agencies have already received feedback
