Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 21, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 52399 

For reasons stated in the preamble, 

AMS amends 7 CFR part 1205 as 

follows: 

PART 1205—COTTON RESEARCH 

AND PROMOTION 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 1205 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2101–2118; 7 U.S.C 

7401. 

■ 2. Section 1205.27 is revised to read 

as follows: 

§ 1205.27 Participation in the sign-up 

period. 

The sign-up period will be from June 

21, 2021, until July 2, 2021, and October 

18, 2021, until October 29, 2021. Those 

persons who favor the conduct of a 

continuance referendum and who wish 

to request that Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) conduct such a 

referendum may do so by submitting 

such request in accordance with this 

section. All requests must be received 

by the appropriate USDA office by 

October 29, 2021. 

(a) Before the sign-up period begins, 

FSA shall establish a list of known, 

eligible, Upland cotton producers in the 

county that it serves during the 

representative period, and AMS shall 

also establish a list of known, eligible 

Upland cotton importers. 

(b) Before the start of the sign-up 

period, Agricultural Marketing Service 

(AMS) will post sign-up information, 

including sign-up forms, on its website: 

http://www.ams.usda.gov/Cotton. 

Importers who favor the conduct of a 

continuance referendum can download 

a form from the website, or request a 

sign-up form by contacting CottonRP@

usda.gov or (540) 361–2726 and one will 

be provided to them. Importers may 

participate in the sign-up period by 

submitting a signed, written request for 

a continuance referendum, along with a 

copy of a U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection form 7501 showing payment 

of a cotton assessment for calendar year 

2020. The USDA, AMS, Cotton and 

Tobacco Program, Attention: Cotton 

Sign-Up, P.O. Box 23181, Washington, 

DC 20077–8249 shall be considered the 

polling place for all cotton importers. 

All requests and supporting documents 

must be received by October 29, 2021. 

(c) Each person on the county FSA 

office lists may participate in the signup period. Eligible producers must date 

and sign their name on the ‘‘County 

FSA Office Sign-up Sheet.’’ A person 

whose name does not appear on the 

county FSA office list may participate in 

the sign-up period. Such person must be 

identified on FSA–578 during the 

representative period or provide 

documentation that demonstrates that 

the person was a cotton producer during 

the representative period. Cotton 

producers not listed on the FSA–578 

shall submit at least one sales receipt for 

cotton they planted during the 

representative period. Cotton producers 

must make requests to the county FSA 

office where the producer’s farm is 

located. If the producer’s land is in more 

than one county, the producer shall 

make request at the county office where 

FSA administratively maintains and 

processes the producer’s farm records. It 

is the responsibility of the person to 

provide the information needed by the 

county FSA office to determine 

eligibility. It is not the responsibility of 

the county FSA office to obtain this 

information. If any person whose name 

does not appear on the county FSA 

office list fails to provide at least one 

sales receipt for the cotton they 

produced during the representative 

period, the county FSA office shall 

determine that such person is ineligible 

to participate in the sign-up period, and 

shall note ‘‘ineligible’’ in the remarks 

section next to the person’s name on the 

county FSA office sign-up sheet. In lieu 

of personally appearing at a county FSA 

office, eligible producers may request a 

sign-up form from the county FSA office 

where the producer’s farm is located. If 

the producer’s land is in more than one 

county, the producer shall make the 

request for the sign-up form at the 

county office where FSA 

administratively maintains and 

processes the producer’s farm records. 

Such request must be accompanied by 

a copy of at least one sales receipt for 

cotton they produced during the 

representative period. The appropriate 

FSA office must receive all completed 

forms and supporting documentation by 

October 29, 2021. 

■ 3. In § 1205.28, the first sentence is 

revised to read as follows: 

§ 1205.28 Counting. 

County FSA offices and FSA, Deputy 

Administrator for Field Operations 

(DAFO), shall begin counting requests 

no later than October 29, 2021. * * 

■ 4. Section 1205.29 is revised to read 

as follows: 

§ 1205.29 Reporting results. 

(a) Each county FSA office shall 

prepare and transmit to the state FSA 

office, by November 5, 2021, a written 

report of the number of eligible 

producers who requested the conduct of 

a referendum and the number of 

ineligible persons who made requests. 

(b) DAFO shall prepare, by November 

5, 2021, a written report of the number 

of eligible importers who requested the 

conduct of a referendum and the 

number of ineligible persons who made 

requests. 

(c) Each state FSA office shall, by 

November 5, 2021, forward all county 

reports to DAFO. By November 12, 

2021, DAFO shall forward its report of 

the total number of eligible producers 

and importers that requested a 

continuance referendum, through the 

sign-up period, to the Deputy 

Administrator, Cotton and Tobacco 

Program, Agricultural Marketing 

Service, USDA, 100 Riverside Parkway, 

Suite 101, Fredericksburg, Virginia 

22406.

[Docket No. 210909–0180] 

RIN 0648–BK67 

Schedule of Fees for Access to NOAA 

Environmental Data, Information, and 

Related Products and Services 

AGENCY: National Environmental 

Satellite, Data and Information Service 

(NESDIS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this final rule, NESDIS 

establishes a new schedule of fees for 

special access to NOAA data, 

information, and related products and 

services. NOAA continues to make its 

environmental data available to the 

public without any fee in most 

instances, primarily via NOAA’s 

Comprehensive Large Array-Data 

Stewardship System (CLASS). NESDIS 

is revising the fee schedule that has 

been in effect since 2019 to ensure that 

the fees accurately reflect the costs of 

providing access to the environmental 

data, information, and related products 

and services. NESDIS is authorized to 

assess fees, up to fair market value, 

depending upon the user and intended 

use, for access to environmental data, 

information, and products derived from, 

collected, and/or archived by NOAA. 

DATES: This rule is effective October 21, 

2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

NESDIS operates NOAA’s National 

Centers for Environmental Information 

(NCEI). Through NCEI, NESDIS 

provides and ensures timely access to 

global environmental data from 

satellites and other sources, provides 

information services, and develops 

science products. 

NESDIS maintains some 1,300 

databases containing over 2,400 

environmental variables at NCEI and 7 

World Data Centers. These centers 

respond to over 2,000,000 requests for 

these data and products annually from 

over 70 countries, the vast majority of 

which are fulfilled at no fee to the 

requestor via NOAA CLASS. This 

collection of environmental data and 

products is growing rapidly, both in size 

and sophistication, and as a result the 

associated costs have increased. 

If CLASS is unable to meet a user’s 

need, users have the ability to access the 

special data products described in the 

table below offline, online and through 

the NESDIS e-Commerce System (NeS) 

online store. Our ability to provide these 

special data, information, products and 

services depends on user fees. 

New Fee Schedule 

In this final rule, NESDIS establishes 

a new schedule of fees for access to 

these special data, information, and 

related products and services. NESDIS 

is revising the fee schedule that has 

been in effect since 2019 to ensure that 

the fees accurately reflect the costs of 

providing access to the environmental 

data, information, and related products 

and services. The new fee schedule lists 

both the current fee charged for each 

item and the new fee to be charged to 

users that will take effect October 21, 

2021. The schedule applies to the listed 

services provided by NESDIS on or after 

this date, except for products and 

services covered by a subscription 

agreement in effect as of this date that 

extends beyond this date. In those cases, 

the increased fees will apply upon 

renewal of the subscription agreement 

or at the earliest amendment date 

provided by the agreement. 

NESDIS will continue to review these 

user fees periodically, and will revise 

such fees as necessary. Any future 

changes in the user fees and their 

effective date will be announced 

through notice in the Federal Register. 

Classification 

This rule has been determined to be 

not significant for purposes of E.O. 

12866. The provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553) requiring notice of proposed 

rulemaking and the opportunity for 

public participation are inapplicable 

because this rule falls within the public 

property exception of subparagraph 

(a)(2) of section 553, as it relates only to 

the assessment of fees, as authorized by 

15 U.S.C. 1534. Further, no other law 

requires that a notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

public comment be given for this rule. 

Because a notice of proposed 

rulemaking and an opportunity for 

public comment are not required to be 

given for this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553 or 

by any other law, the requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601 et seq.) are not applicable. 

Accordingly, no Regulatory Flexibility 

Analysis is required and none has been 

prepared.

Unapproved New Animal Drugs in 

Food 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA, the Agency, we) 

is issuing a final rule that establishes 

procedures by which we may establish, 

amend, or revoke tolerances for residues 

of new animal drugs in any edible 

portion of any animal imported into the 

United States (import tolerances). These 

import tolerances provide a basis for the 

legal marketing of such animal-derived 

food.

I. Executive Summary 

A. Purpose of the Final Rule 

This rule codifies procedures and 

food safety criteria by which tolerances 

for residues of unapproved new animal 

drugs in any edible portion of any 

animal imported into the United States 

(import tolerances) may be established 

or amended. These import tolerances 

provide a basis for the legal marketing 

of such animal-derived food. The 

regulation also specifies procedures by 

which import tolerances may be 

revoked. 

B. Summary of the Major Provisions of 

the Final Rule 

This final rule codifies procedures 

and food safety criteria pertaining to the 

establishment, amendment, and 

revocation of import tolerances in new 

subpart C of part 510 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (21 CFR part 510). 

Major provisions include: 

• The scope and definitions; 

• who may initiate proceedings to 

establish an import tolerance; 

• contents of a submission requesting 

establishment of an import tolerance; 

• sources of data and information 

supporting the safety of a proposed 

import tolerance; 

• Agency procedures for 

establishment, amendment, or 

revocation of an import tolerance; 

• public disclosure of import 

tolerance-related actions (actions under 

consideration, establishment, 

amendment, or revocation); and 

• environmental impact assessment 

of import tolerance-related actions. 

In addition, conforming amendments 

are being made in §§ 10.25, 20.100, 

25.20, 500.80, 500.82, 500.88, and 

500.92 (21 CFR 10.25, 20.100, 25.20, 

500.80, 500.82, 500.88, and 500.92). A 

technical amendment is being made in 

§ 10.25 (21 CFR 10.25) to include food 

additive petitions under 21 CFR 571.1 

in the non-exhaustive list of petitions 

specified in FDA regulations. 

The procedures and food safety 

criteria in the final rule are 

fundamentally the same as in the 

proposed rule; however, the final rule 

has been minimally reorganized to 

clarify that import tolerances 

established at the Commissioner’s 

initiative follow the same procedures as 

those established at the request of an 

interested person. We have also made 

nonsubstantive wording changes for 

clarity. 

C. Legal Authority 

Our authority for issuing this final 

rule is provided by the new animal drug 

provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) by which 

we establish tolerances for residues of 

new animal drugs and under provisions 

of the FD&C Act that give the Agency 

general rulemaking authority to issue 

regulations for the efficient enforcement 

of the FD&C Act.
