29284 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 104 / Wednesday, May 30, 2001 / Notices

The demonstration project will enable

FNS to continue to evaluate whether to

amend program regulations to allow the

substitution of donated beef and pork

with commercial beef and pork in the

State processing program. Particular

attention will be paid to whether such

an amendment of the regulations would

increase the number of processors

participating, and whether it would

increase the quantity of donated beef

and pork that each processor accepts for

processing. Further, FNS will attempt to

determine whether the expected

increase in competition and the

expected increase in the quantity of

donated beef and pork accepted for

processing will enable processors to

function more efficiently, producing a

greater variety of processed end

products more quickly and/or at lower

costs.

Interested processors should submit a

written proposal to FNS outlining how

they plan to carry out the substitution

while complying with the above

conditions. The proposal must contain

(1) a step-by-step description of how

production will be monitored; and (2) a

complete description of the records that

will be maintained for (a) the

commercial beef and pork substituted

for the donated beef and pork and (b)

the disposition of the donated beef and

pork delivered by USDA. All proposals

will be reviewed by representatives of

the Food Distribution Division of FNS

and by representatives of the AMS

Livestock Division’s Commodity

Procurement Branch and Grading

Branch. Companies approved for

participation in the demonstration

project will be required to enter into an

agreement with FNS and AMS which

authorizes the processor to substitute

donated beef and pork with commercial

bulk beef and pork in fulfilling any

current or future State processing

contracts during the demonstration

project period. Participation in the

demonstration project will not ensure

that processors will be awarded any

State processing contracts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

Congress, when it enacted legislation

to implement the Nairobi Protocol to the

Florence Agreement, included a

provision for the Departments of

Commerce and Treasury to collect

information on the import of articles for

the handicapped. Form ITA–362P,

Information on Articles for Physically or

Mentally Handicapped Persons

Imported Free of Duty, is the vehicle by

which statistical information is obtained

to assess whether the duty-free

treatment of articles for the

handicapped has had a significant

adverse impact on a domestic industry

(or portion thereof) manufacturing or

producing a like or directly competitive

article. Without the collection of data, it

would be almost impossible for a sound

determination to be made and for the

President to appropriately redress the

situation.

II. Method of Collection

The Department of Commerce and the

U.S. Customs Service have copies of

Form ITA–362P and distributes the form
