and training slots that meet the

requirements of section 6(o)(2)(B) of the

Act. This information must be broken

out to show the amount of money spent

on qualifying education and training

slots in areas of a State that have

received a waiver in accordance with

section 6(o)(4) of the Act and money

spent in non-waived areas.

In consultation with OMB, FNS

established one reimbursement rate for

both workfare and 20-hour a week

education and training components. The

rates established are $30 for an offered

work slot and $175 for a filled work slot.

(A slot is ‘‘filled’’ when an E&T

participant reports to a work or training

site to begin his/her work activities; a

slot is ‘‘offered’’ when an E&T

participant either refuses a bona fide

workfare or training opportunity or does

not report.) FNS estimates these

reimbursement rates will create 140,000

E&T slots for eligible ABAWDs, with the

number evenly divided between filled

and offered education and training

component slots and filled and offered

workfare component slots. Thus, each

State will create 2,642 E&T slots

annually for ABAWDs (140,000/53 =

2,642), with an average 660 E&T slots

created each quarter (2,642/4 = 660),

evenly divided between filled and

unfilled.

We estimate that it will take States 3

minutes (3/60 = .05 hours) to note in an

ABAWDs’ food stamp case record (or

other record) if she/he was offered one

of the two types of E&T slots and

whether he/she filled the slot. The total

time involved for this E&T activity is

7,000 hours per year (140,000×.05 =

7,000), or 132 hours per year per State

(7000/53 = 132).

Section 6(o)(4) of the Food Stamp Act

gives the Secretary the authority to

waive the ABAWD work requirements if

an area of a State has an unemployment

rate of over 10 percent or does not have

a sufficient number of jobs to provide

employment for ABAWDs. (7 U.S.C.

2015(o)(4)). States have already

submitted requests to FNS for waivers of

the ABAWDs work requirements and

know which areas are waived and

which are not waived. For the quarterly

FNS–583, States will have to review the

food stamp case records of 660

ABAWDs to determine if the individual

filled or was offered an E&T slot, and

then place him/her in the appropriate

category. Since States will know ahead

of time which areas are waived and nonwaived, States can separate the slots

accordingly, multiply each slot in each

area by the amount of funds spent, and

then total up the figures for the waived

and non-waived areas. These figures

would then be reported on the FNS–

583.

Based on the average of 660 slots per

quarter per State, FNS estimates that it

will take States 4 hours per quarter, or

16 hours per year, to track this

information. The total time burden for

tracking is 848 hours (16 hours annually

per State × 53 states). The total burden

hours for tracking this information is

7,848 (7,000 + 848) or 148 hours per

year per State respondent.

Compiling E&T funding information

for the quarterly FNS–583 report: FNS

calculates it takes 8.5 hours per quarter

for each of the 42 automated States to

prepare their FNS–583s, for a total of

1,428 hours per year (8.5×42 = 357 per

quarter; 357×4 = 1,428 total annually).

The remaining 11 non-automated States

used 15.5 hours each quarter to prepare

their FNS–583s, for a total of 682 hours

per year (15.5×11 = 170.5 quarterly,

170.5×4 = 682 annually). Adding the

two figures (1,428 + 682), we calculate

it takes States a total of 2,110 total hours

per year to prepare the quarterly FNS–

583s or approximately 39.8 hours per

respondent per year. The total burden

hours (excluding the work registration

process) for the new E&T funding

requirements of the Balanced Budget

Act is 9,958 (7,000 + 848+ 2,110).

Special Provision for Frozen

Concentrated Orange Juice Under the

North American Free Trade Agreement

Implementation Act

ACTION: Notice of Determination of

Existence of Price Conditions Necessary

for Imposition of Temporary Duty on

Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice from

Mexico.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 309(a) of

the North American Free Trade

Agreement Implementation Act of 1993

(‘‘NAFTA Implementation Act’’), this is

a notification that for 5 consecutive

business days the daily price for frozen

concentrated orange juice was lower

than the trigger price.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Joseph Somers, Horticultural and

Tropical Products Division, Foreign

Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of

Agriculture Washington, DC 20250–

1000 or telephone at (202) 720–2974.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

NAFTA Implementation Act authorizes

the imposition of a temporary duty

(snapback) for Mexican frozen

concentrated orange juice when certain

conditions exist. Mexican articles falling

under subheading 2009.11.00 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTS) are subject to the

snapback duty provision.

Under Section 309(a) of the NAFTA

Implementation Act, certain price

conditions must exist before the United

States can apply a snapback duty on

imports of Mexican frozen concentrated

orange juice. In addition, such imports

must exceed specified amounts before
20570 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 80 / Monday, April 27, 1998 / Notices

the snapback duty can be applied. The

price conditions exist when for each

period of 5 consecutive business days

the daily price for frozen concentrated

orange juice is less than the trigger

price.

For the purpose of this provision, the

term ‘‘daily price’’ means the daily

closing price of the New York Cotton

Exchange, or any successor as

determined by the Secretary of

Agriculture (the ‘‘Exchange’’), for the

closest month in which contracts for

frozen concentrated orange juice are

being traded on the Exchange. The term

‘‘business day’’ means a day in which

contracts for frozen concentrated orange

juice are being traded on the Exchange.

The term trigger price means the

average daily closing price of the

Exchange for the corresponding month

during the previous 5-year period,

excluding the year with the highest

average price for the corresponding

month and the year with the lowest

price for the corresponding month.

Price conditions no longer exist when

the Secretary determines that for a

period of 5 consecutive business days

the daily price for frozen concentrated

orange juice has exceeded the trigger

price

Whenever the price conditions are

determined to exist or to cease to exist

the Secretary is required to immediately

notify the Commissioner of Customs of

such determination. Whenever the

determination is that the price

conditions exist and the quantity of

Mexican articles of frozen concentrated

orange juice entered exceeds (1)

264,978,000 liters (single strength

equivalent) in any of calendar years

1994 through 2002, or (2) 340,560,000

liters (single strength equivalent) in any

of calendar years 2003 through 2007, the

rate of duty on Mexican articles of

frozen concentrated orange juice that are

entered after the date on which the

applicable quantity limitation is reached

and before the date of publication in the

Federal Register of the determination

that the price conditions have ceased to

exist shall be the lower of—(1) the

column 1—General rate of duty in effect

for such articles on July 1, 1991; or (2)

the column 1—General rate of duty in

effect on that day. For the purpose of

this provision, the term entered means

entered or withdrawn from warehouse

for consumption in the customs territory

of the United States.

In accordance with Section 309(a) of

the NAFTA Implementation Act, it has

been determined that for the period

April 6–13, 1998, the daily price for

frozen concentrated orange juice was

less than the trigger price.

Issued at Washington, D.C. the 20th day of

April, 1998.
