DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Agricultural Research Service 

Notice for Comment on Two Strategic 

Plans for the Subcommittee on 

Aquaculture Science Planning and 

Regulatory Efficiency Task Forces and 

on Updating the National Aquaculture 

Development Plan 

AGENCY: Agricultural Research Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In October 2018, the SCA 

established a Science Planning Task 

Force charged with documenting 

Federal science and technology 

opportunities and priorities for 

aquaculture by revising and updating 

the National Strategic Plan for Federal 

Aquaculture Research (2014–2019). 

Similarly, in February 2019, the SCA 

established a Regulatory Efficiency Task 

Force charged with developing a new 

plan for interagency science and 

technology coordination to improve 

regulatory efficiency, research and 

technology development, and economic 

growth. The Task Forces are seeking 

public comment on Science and 

Regulatory Efficiency strategic plans to 

determine if their respective topics are 

adequately covered. See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for more details. 

DATES: In the Federal Register of August 

5, 2021, FR Doc. 2021–16711. Doc. 

2021–04701, on Pages 42776–42777, 

under dates should read as follows: 

Comments must be received by 

September 18th, 2021 to be assured of 

consideration. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Subcommittee on Aquaculture (SCA) is 

a statutory subcommittee that operates 

under the Committee on Environment of 

the National Science and Technology 

Council (NSTC) under the Office of 

Science and Technology Policy in the 

Executive Office of the President 

[National Aquaculture Act of 1980 (Pub. 

L. 96–362. 94 Stat. 1198, 16 U.S.C. 2801, 

et seq.) and the National Aquaculture 

Improvement Act of 1985 (Pub. L. 99– 

198, 99 Stat. 1641)]. 

In addition, in May of 2020, the SCA 

established an Economic Development 

Task Force charged with developing a 

strategic plan for economic 

development through aquaculture. 

Separately from SCA, the National 

Aquaculture Act of 1980 requires select 

federal agencies to develop a National 

Aquaculture Development Plan (NADP). 

Last completed in 1983, the NADP 

describes aquaculture associated 

technologies, problems, and 

opportunities in the United States and 

its territories. It recommends actions to 

solve problems and analyzes the social, 

environmental, and economic impacts 

of growth in aquaculture. The SCA 

plans to update the NADP using the 

Science and Regulatory Efficiency plans 

described here, with the addition of the 

Economic Development plan currently 

in process.

2021.

BILLING CODE 3410–03–P 

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Agriculture has 

submitted the following information 

collection requirement(s) to OMB for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. Comments are 

requested regarding; 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; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by October 1, 2021 

will be considered. Written comments 

and recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be 

submitted within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice on the 

following website www.reginfo.gov/ 

public/do/PRAMain. Find this 

particular information collection by 

selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day 

Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or 

by using the search function. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number and the agency informs 

potential persons who are to respond to 

the collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Foreign Agricultural Service 

Title: Sugar Imported for Exports as 

Refined Sugar, as a Sugar-Containing 

Product, or Used in Production of 

Certain Polyhydric Alcohols. 

OMB Control Number: 0551–0015. 

Summary of Collection: The 

regulation at 7 CFR part 1530 authorizes 

the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) 

to issue import licenses to enter raw 

cane sugar exempt from the tariff-rate 

quota (TRQ) for the raw cane sugar 

imports and related requirements on the 

condition that an equivalent quantity of 

refined sugar be: (1) Exported as refined 

sugar; (2) exported as an ingredient in 

sugar containing products; or (3) used in 

production of certain polyhydric 

alcohols. The information requirements 

set forth in the regulation are necessary 

to enable FAS to administer the 

licensing program in full compliance 

with the regulation and to ensure that 

licensed imports do not enter the 

commercial sugar market in 

circumvention of the TRQ for raw cane 

sugar. 

Need and Use of the Information: FAS 

will collect information to verify that 

the world-priced sugar is actually 

exported and not diverted onto the 

domestic market, thereby undermining 

the objectives of politically sensitive 

U.S. sugar policies. This collection 

enables USDA to monitor participants 

in an effort to ensure compliance with 

program parameters. Without the 

collection, there would be increased 

opportunity to divert sugar onto the 

domestic market. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 333. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting; Quarterly. 

Total Burden Hours: 428.
