Agricultural Marketing Service

Title: 7 CFR Part 70. Regulations for

Voluntary Grading of Poultry Products

and Rabbit Products.

OMB Control Number: 0581–0127.

Summary of Collection: The

Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (60

Stat. 1087–1091, as amended; 7 U.S.C.

1621–1627) (AMA) directs and

authorizes the Department to develop

standards of quality, grades, grading

programs, and services to enable a more

orderly marketing of agricultural

products so trading may be facilitated

and so consumers may be able to obtain

products graded and identified under

USDA programs. The Agricultural

Marketing Service (AMS) carries out

regulations, which provide a voluntary

program for grading poultry and rabbit

products. This program is voluntary

where respondents would need to

request or apply for the specific service

they wish.

Need and Use of the Information:

Because the AMA requires that the cost

of the service be assessed and collected,

there is no alternative but to provide

voluntary programs on a fee for service

basis and to collect the information

needed to establish the cost. The

information collected is used to

administer the grading services

requested by the respondents and only

by authorized representatives of the

USDA.

Description of Respondents: Business

or other for-profit; Federal Government;

State, Local or Tribal Government.

Number of Respondents: 374.

Frequency of Responses: Reporting:

On occasion; Semi-annually; Monthly;

Annually; Other.

Total Burden Hours: 1,781.

Food and Nutrition Service

Title: National School Lunch Program.

OMB Control Number: 0584–0006.

Summary of Collection: Section 9 of

the National School Lunch Act (NSLA)

gives the Secretary authority to

prescribe the minimum nutritional

requirements for lunches served by

schools participating in the School

Lunch Program. The current program

regulations include the third party

disclosure provisions which require

school food authorities to inform

children and their parents of the use of

products or dishes containing more than

30 parts fully hydrated vegetable protein

products to less than 70 parts beef, pork,

poultry or seafood in food served under

the NSLP. The Food and Nutrition

Service will collect information using

forms FNS–66, 640, and 67.

Need and Use of the Information: The

information will be collected to ensure

that the alternatives implemented by the

States and the school food authorities

adequately meet program requirements

and goals. The information gathered

will contribute to a comprehensive

review of program operations and will

be available for monitoring purposes.

Description of Respondents: State,

Local, or Tribal Government;

Individuals or households; Business or

other for-profit; Nor-for-profit

Food and Nutrition Service

Title: 7 CFR Part 220 School Breakfast

Program.

OMB Control Number: 0584–0012.

Summary of Collection: Section 4 of

the Child Nutrition Act (CNA) of 1966

as amended, authorizes the School

Breakfast Program (SBP). The Food and

Nutrition Service (FNS) administers the

School Breakfast Program on behalf of

the Secretary of Agriculture so that

needy children may receive their

breakfasts free or at a reduced price. The

current program regulations include

third party disclosure provisions which

requires school food authorities to

inform children and their parents of the

use of products or dishes containing

more than 30 parts fully hydrated

vegetable protein products to less than

70 parts beef, pork, poultry or seafood

in food served under the SBP.

Need and Use of the Information:

evaluate and adjust program operations,

and to develop projections for future

program operations.

Forest Service

Title: 36 CFR Part 228, Subpart C—

Disposal of Mineral Materials.

OMB Control Number: 0596–0081.

Summary of Collection: The Forest

Service (FS) is responsible for

overseeing the management of National

Forest System land. The Multiple-Use

Mining Act of 1955 (30 U.S.C. 601, 603,

611–615) gives the FS specific authority

to manage the disposal of mineral

materials mined from National Forest

land. FS uses form FS–2800–9 to collect

detailed information on the planned

mining and disposal operations as well

as a contract for the sale of mineral

materials.

Need and Use of the Information: FS

will use information collected from the

public to ensure that environmental

impacts of mineral material disposal are

minimized. A review of the operating

plan provides the authorized officer the

opportunity to determine if the

proposed operation is appropriate and

consistent with all applicable land

management laws and regulations. The

information also provides the means of

documenting planned operations and

the terms and conditions that the FS

deems necessary to protect surface

resources.

as follows:

The aggregate quantity of raw cane sugar

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for

consumption, under subheading 1701.11.10,

during any fiscal year, shall not exceed in the

aggregate an amount (expressed in terms of

raw value), not less than 1,117,195 metric

tons, as shall be established by the Secretary

exceed in the aggregate an amount (expressed

for raw cane sugar or the aggregate quantity

for sugars, syrups and molasses other than

quota quantity for the importation of

specialty sugars as defined by the U.S. Trade

Representative.

These provisions of paragraph (a)(i) of

Additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 17 of

the HTS authorize the Secretary of

Agriculture to establish the total

amounts (expressed in terms of raw

value) for imports of raw cane sugar and

certain other sugars, syrups, and

molasses that may be entered under the

subheadings of the HTS subject to the

lower tier of duties of the tariff-rate

quotas (TRQs) for entry during the fiscal

year beginning October 1. Allocations of

the quota amounts among supplying

countries and areas will be made by the

United States Trade Representative.

Notice

I hereby give notice, in accordance

with paragraph (a)(i) of additional U.S.

note 5 to chapter 17 of the HTS, that an

aggregate quantity of up to 1,222,983

metric tons raw value, of raw cane sugar

described in subheading 1701.11.10 of

the HTS may be entered or withdrawn

from warehouse for consumption during

the period from October 1, 2000,

through September 30, 2001. This TRQ

amount may be allocated among

supplying countries and areas by the

United States Trade Representative

I will issue Certificates of Quota

Eligibility (CQEs) to allow Brazil, the

Dominican Republic, and the

Philippines to ship up to 25 percent of

their respective initial country

allocations at the low-tier tariff during

each quarter of FY 2001. Argentina,

Australia, Guatemala, and Peru will be

allowed to ship up to 50 percent of their

respective initial country allocations in

the first 6 months of FY 2001.

Unentered allocations, during any

quarter or six month period, may be

entered in any subsequent period. For

all other countries, CQEs corresponding

to their respective country allocations

may be entered at the low-tier tariff at

any time during the fiscal year.

I have further determined that an

aggregate quantity of up to 143,788

metric tons raw value of certain sugars,

syrups, and molasses described in

subheadings 1701.12.10, 1701.91.10,

withdrawn from warehouse for

consumption during the period from

October 1, 2000 through September 30,

of this quantity of 143,788 metric tons,

the quantity of 17,656 metric tons raw

value is reserved for the importation of

specialty sugars. These TRQ amounts

may be allocated among supplying

countries and areas by the United States

A reserve quantity of 100,000 metric

tons raw value is established. The raw

or refined sugar TRQs may increased by

this quantity, if needed. If additional

country allocations result from the

reserved TRQ quantity, they may be

entered subsequent to their

announcement by the United States

Trade Representative.
