Concurrence With OIE Risk 

Designations for Bovine Spongiform 

Encephalopathy 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public of 

our decision to concur with the World 

Organization for Animal Health’s (OIE) 

bovine spongiform encephalopathy 

(BSE) risk designations for Ecuador and 

Serbia. The OIE recognizes Ecuador as 

being of controlled risk for BSE and 

Serbia as being of negligible risk for 

BSE. We are taking this action based on 

our review of information supporting 

the OIE’s risk designations for these 

regions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

regulations in 9 CFR part 92 subpart B, 

‘‘Importation of Animals and Animal 

Products; Procedures for Requesting 

BSE Risk Status Classification With 

Regard To Bovines’’ (referred to below 

as the regulations), set forth the process 

by which the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) classifies 

regions for bovine spongiform 

encephalopathy (BSE) risk. Section 92.5 

of the regulations provides that all 

countries of the world are considered by 

APHIS to be in one of three BSE risk 

categories: Negligible risk, controlled 

risk, or undetermined risk. These risk 

categories are defined in § 92.1. Any 

region that is not classified by APHIS as 

presenting either negligible risk or 

controlled risk for BSE is considered to 

present an undetermined risk. The list 

of those regions classified by APHIS as 

having either negligible risk or 

controlled risk can be accessed on the 

APHIS website at https://www.aphis.

usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/ 

animal-and-animal-product-importinformation/animal-health-status-ofregions. The list can also be obtained by 

writing to APHIS at Regionalization 

Evaluation Services, 4700 River Road, 

Unit 38, Riverdale, MD 20737. 

Under the regulations, APHIS may 

classify a region for BSE in one of two 

ways. One way is for regions that have 

not received a risk classification from 

the World Organization for Animal 

Health (OIE) to request classification by 

APHIS. The other way is for APHIS to 

concur with the classification given to a 

country or region by the OIE. 

If the OIE has classified a region as 

either BSE negligible risk or BSE 

controlled risk, APHIS will seek 

information to support concurrence 

with the OIE classification. This 

information may be publicly available 

information, or APHIS may request that 

regions supply the same information 

given to the OIE. APHIS will announce 

in the Federal Register, subject to 

public comment, its intent to concur 

with an OIE classification. 

In accordance with this process, we 

published a notice 1 in the Federal 

Register on October 25, 2019 (84 FR 

57384–57385, Docket No. APHIS 2019– 

0053), in which we announced our 

intent to concur with the OIE risk 

classifications of the following regions: 

• Regions of negligible risk for BSE:

Serbia. 

• Regions of controlled risk for BSE:

Ecuador. 

We solicited comments on the notice 

for 60 days ending on December 24, 

2019. We did not receive any comments 

by this date. 

Therefore, in accordance with the 

regulations in § 92.5, we are announcing 

our decision to concur with the OIE risk 

classifications for Ecuador and Serbia. 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs 

designated this action as not a major 

rule, as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1622 and 8301– 

8317; 21 U.S.C. 136 and 136a; 31 U.S.C. 

9701; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.4.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request—Annual State 

Report on Verification of Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program 

Participation 

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice invites the general public and 

other public agencies to comment on the 

proposed information collection for the 

Annual State Report of Verification of 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP) Participation. This is a 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection request. The 

purpose of the Annual State Report of 

Verification of SNAP Participants is to 

ensure that no person who is deceased, 

or has been permanently disqualified 

from SNAP, improperly received SNAP 

benefits for the fiscal year preceding the 

report submission. Section 4032 of the 

Agricultural Act of 2014 is the basis for 

this collection. Section 4032 mandates 

that States will ‘‘submit to the Secretary 

a report containing sufficient 

information for the Secretary to 

determine whether the State agency has, 

for the most recently concluded fiscal 

year preceding that annual date, verified 

that the State agency in that fiscal year 

(1) did not issue benefits to a deceased 

individual; and (2) did not issue 

benefits to an individual who had been 

permanently disqualified from receiving 

benefits.’’ An email from each State 

agency to the corresponding Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) Regional SNAP 

Program Director containing the 

answers to the above questions will be 

used as the mechanism for State 

agencies to report their compliance with 

the Agriculture Act of 2014. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted on or before November 1, 

2021. 

ADDRESSES: Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed information 

collection is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information has practical utility; (b) the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimated 

burden for the proposed information 

collection, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collection on 

those who are to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Annual State Report on 

Verification of SNAP Participation. 

OMB Number: 0584–0605. 

Expiration Date: July 31, 2022. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: SNAP regulations at 7 CFR 

273.16 require that State agencies 

disqualify an individual who has 

committed an intentional program 

violation (IPV). Paragraph 7 CFR 

273.16(e)(8) requires that these 

individuals ‘‘be disqualified in 

accordance with the disqualification 

periods and procedures in paragraph (b) 

of this section’’ (273.16(b)). Paragraph 7 

CFR 273.16(i) requires State agencies to 

report information concerning each 

individual disqualified for an IPV to the 

disqualified recipient database, the 

electronic Disqualified Recipient 

System (eDRS), and to use eDRS data to 

determine the eligibility of individual 

applicants prior to certification. SNAP 

regulations at 7 CFR 272.14 require that 

each State agency establish a system to 

verify and ensure that benefits are not 

issued to individuals who are deceased, 

and that data source is the Social 

Security Administration’s (SSA) Death 

Master File. The information required 

for the Annual State Report on 

Verification of SNAP Participation is 

obtained by validating that the State had 

the appropriate systems in place and 

followed procedures currently 

mandated at 7 CFR 272.14 and 7 CFR 

273.16 for the preceding fiscal year. The 

burdens associated with establishing a 

system to verify and ensure that benefits 

are not issued to deceased individuals 

or those permanently disqualified from 

SNAP using both the SSA Death Master 

File and eDRS are already approved 

under OMB burden number 0584–0064, 

expiration date August 31, 2021. Upon 

OMB approval of the renewal of the 

information collection for 0584–0605, 

FNS intends to merge the hours 

associated with 0584–0605 into OMB 

Control Number 0584–0083, expiration 

08/31/2023. 

In order to meet the reporting 

requirements specified in section 4032 

of the Act, States are required to confirm 

via email to their FNS Regional SNAP 

Program Director that in the 

immediately preceding Federal fiscal 

year, they had the appropriate systems 

in place to meet the requirements of 

regulations at 7 CFR 272.14 and 

273.16(i)(4) and that they conducted the 

matches required by these regulations. 

States are required to submit their 

section 4032 reports to the FNS 

Regional SNAP Director by March 31 

each year for the preceding Federal 

fiscal year. The estimated annual 

burden for this collection is 57.4255 

hours. This estimate includes the time 

it takes each State agency to confirm 

that they have complied with FNS 

regulations for performing mandated 

checks against both eDRS and the SSA 

Death Master File, send an email to their 

FNS Regional Office SNAP Program 

Director to provide the verification, and 

any additional recordkeeping associated 

with this burden. States must perform 

this verification once a year and must 

retain these records for 3 years. 

Burden Estimates: The previous 

burden for this collection was 53 

reporting hours. The requested burden 

is 53 reporting hours. There is no 

change in reporting hours. The previous 

burden reported for recordkeeping was 

4.41649. The requested recordkeeping
