displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Forest Service 

Title: Significant Cave Nomination. 

OMB Control Number: 0596–0244. 

Summary of Collection: The Federal 

Cave Resources Protection Act (FCRPA) 

[Pub. L. 100–691, 107 Stat. 4546] 

requires the Secretaries of Agriculture 

and Interior to identify and protect 

significant caves on Federal lands 

within their respective jurisdictions. 

The information covered in this 

collection applies to caves on Federal 

lands administered by the Forest 

Service. The FCRPA does not define 

what constitutes a ‘‘significant’’ cave, 

but it does require the Secretaries, in 

cooperation and consultation with each 

other, to issue regulations that define 

criteria for identification of significant 

caves found at (16 U.S.C. 4303(a)). 

Need and Use of the Information: In 

accordance with FCRPA, the FS collects 

information from appropriate private 

sector interests, including ‘‘cavers,’’ to 

update a list of significant caves under 

USDA’s jurisdiction. FS will use form 

FS–2800–0023 ‘‘Significant Cave 

Nomination Worksheet’’ to collect 

name, address, telephone number of 

individual or organization submitting 

the nomination and the individual who 

is knowledgeable about the resources in 

the cave; name and location of the cave, 

a discussion of how the cave meets the 

criteria, studies, maps, research papers 

and other supporting documentation. If 

this information is not collected FS 

might not become aware of potentially 

significant caves’ existence or have 

insufficient information upon which to 

base a judgment as to their significance. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals and households. 

Number of Respondents: 10. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

One time. 

Total Burden Hours: 110.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) of the United States 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) is 

proposing to add a new system of 

records, titled APHIS Student Outreach 

Programs System, USDA/APHIS–26, 

that APHIS’ Office of Civil Rights, 

Diversity, and Inclusion (OCRDI) will 

use to facilitate the submission and 

review of information submitted by 

students and their parents or guardians 

as part of the application process for 

outreach programs such as AgDiscovery. 

(AgDiscovery is a summer outreach 

program designed to help teenagers 

explore careers in areas such as plant 

and animal science, wildlife 

management, and agribusiness (https:// 

www.aphis.usda.gov/careers/studentsgrads/agdiscovery).) APHIS Student 

Outreach Programs challenge students 

to consider the importance of American 

agriculture, and the role USDA plays in 

this critical mission. Students 

participate in experiential learning 

activities on and off campus, attend 

workshops, lectures, laboratory, and 

field exercises, in addition to a variety 

of cultural and teambuilding activities. 

The maintenance of this system is 

conducted in a manner consistent with 

the guidelines established in 7 U.S.C. 

2279 (Farming Opportunities Training 

and Outreach). 

The application process for OCRDI’s 

outreach programs provides information 

needed to discover and explore a 

student’s interest in agriculture and 

provides recommendations from others 

who are familiar with the student’s 

character. That information, which is 

collected annually from applicants, will 

be used to evaluate and select the 

participants for APHIS Student 

Outreach Programs. The application 

process also provides the agency and 

participating educational institutions 

information required to evaluate and 

rate the applicants. 

Individuals covered by the system 

include students who apply for APHIS 

Student Outreach Programs and their 

parent(s) or guardian(s). 

APHIS will share information from 

the system pursuant to the requirements 

of the Privacy Act and, in the case of its 

routine uses, when the disclosure is 

compatible with the purpose for which 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 249 / Monday, December 30, 2024 / Notices 106415 

the information was compiled. A full 

list of routine uses is included in the 

routine uses section below. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

APHIS Student Outreach Programs 

System, USDA/APHIS–26. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

The electronic component is 

completed via the IBM Forms Filler for 

application submissions. This 

component and the paper files are 

located in the Office of Civil Rights, 

Diversity, and Inclusion, 4700 River 

Road, Unit 92, Riverdale, MD 20737. 

SYSTEM MANAGER(S): 

APHIS Student Outreach Programs 

Manager, APHIS, 4700 River Road, Unit 

92, Riverdale, MD 20737. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

The maintenance of this system is 

conducted in a manner consistent with 

the guidelines established through the 

Farming Opportunities Training and 

Outreach found in 7 U.S.C. 2279. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

APHIS Student Outreach Programs 

System is used to facilitate the 

submission and review of information

of Civil Rights, Diversity, and Inclusion 

programs such as AgDiscovery. These 

programs are designed to help teenagers 

explore careers in areas such as plant 

and animal science, wildlife 

management, and agribusiness. 

The application process provides the 

information needed to assess a student’s 

interest in agriculture, and provides 

recommendations from others who are 

familiar with the student’s interests and 

character. The information, which is 

collected annually from applicants, will 

ultimately be used to select the 

participants for APHIS Student 

Outreach Programs. The application 

process also provides the APHIS and the 

participating educational institutions 

the information to rate and rank the 

applicants.

[Docket No. APHIS–2020–0024] 

Importation of Fresh Pineapple 

(Ananas comosus) Fruit From Indonesia 

Into the United States 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that we have prepared a pest risk 

analysis that evaluates the risks 

associated with the importation of fresh 

pineapple fruit (Ananas comosus) for 

consumption from Indonesia into the 

United States. Based on the analysis, we 

have determined that the application of 

one or more phytosanitary measures 

will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of 

introducing or disseminating plant pests 

or noxious weeds via the importation of 

fresh pineapple fruit from Indonesia. 

We are making the pest risk analysis 

available to the public for review and 

comment.
