OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW. 

Summary of Collection: Food and 

Nutrition Service (FNS) Supplemental 

Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to 

include the benefit off-line storage and 

expungement activities contained in the 

Final Rule ‘‘Supplemental Nutrition 

Assistance Program: 2008 Farm Bill 

Provisions on Clarification of Split 

Issuance; Accrual of Benefits and 

Definition Changes,’’ (85 FR 52025) 

published August 24, 2020, which 

implements benefit issuance provisions 

of the Food, Conservation and Energy 

Act of 2008, Public Law 110–234 (2008 

Farm Bill) and the Agricultural 

Improvement Act of 2018, Public Law 

115–334, (2018 Farm Bill). Both Farm 

Bills amended the Food and Nutrition 

Act of 2008 (the Act), which includes 

benefit issuance, storage, and expiration 

requirements for administering the 

program. 

A subsequent interim final rule, titled 

‘‘Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 

Program (SNAP): 2008 Farm Bill 

Provisions on Clarification of Split 

Issuance; Accrual of Benefits and 

Definition Changes: Delay of 

Implementation Date for Certain 

Provisions’’, published July 29, 2021 (86 

FR 40763), delayed from September 24, 

2021, until September 24, 2022, the 

implementation date of certain 

provisions of the Final Rule. This 

included the provisions in 7 CFR 

274.2(h) and 274.2(i)(1)–(3) regarding 

storage of benefits off-line and 

permanent expungement of unused 

benefits. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

State agencies are responsible for 

issuing benefits to those households 

entitled to benefits under the Act. SNAP 

regulations at 7 CFR 274.2, require State 

agencies to send notices via mail to 

SNAP participants to inform them if 

their benefits are being moved off-line 

and if their benefits are about to be 

expunged. Notices are sent to the home 

address of SNAP individuals/ 

households via United States Postal 

Service. Off-line storage notices are sent 

up to 10 days prior to or concurrent 

with benefits moving off-line, and 

expungement notices must be sent, at a 

minimum, 30 days prior to benefits 

being expunged. If a household contacts 

the State agency after the off-line notice 

has been sent or reapplies for SNAP 

benefits, the State agency must reinstate 

those benefits and make them available 

within 48 hours. Similarly, if a 

household follows the guidance in their 

expungement notice prior to the benefits 

being expunged, they can prevent 

expungement. If the household does not 

respond to the notice, the benefits will 

be moved off-line or expunged from 

their account. 

Each notice is required to include 

specific information as outlined in 

SNAP Regulation 7 CFR 274.2(h)–(i). 

Off-line storage notices must include the 

steps necessary to bring the benefits 

back on-line and the State agency’s 

permanent expungement policy. 

Expungement notices must be written in 

easily understandable plain language 

and include the date that benefit 

expungement will begin, the action 

needed to prevent the expungement, 

and the household’s right to request a 

fair hearing.

Notice of Availability of a Pest Risk 

Analysis for the Importation of Fresh 

Oha Leaves (Pterocarpus mildbraedii) 

From Nigeria Into the Continental 

United States 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that we have prepared a pest risk 

analysis that evaluates the risks 

associated with importation of fresh 

Oha leaves (Pterocarpus mildbraedii) 

from Nigeria into the continental United 

States. Based on the analysis, we have 

determined that the application of one 

or more designated phytosanitary 

measures will be sufficient to mitigate 

the risks of introducing or disseminating 

plant pests or noxious weeds via the 

importation of fresh Oha leaves from 

Nigeria. We are making the pest risk 

analysis available to the public for 

review and comment. 

DATES: We will consider all comments 

that we receive on or before August 8, 

2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under the regulations in ‘‘Subpart L— 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56– 

1 through 319.56–12, referred to below 

as the regulations), the Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

prohibits or restricts the importation of 

fruits and vegetables into the United 

States from certain parts of the world to 

prevent plant pests from being 

introduced into or disseminated within 

the United States. 

Section 319.56–4 contains a 

performance-based process for 

approving the importagion of fruits and 

vegetables that, based on the findings of 

a pest risk analysis, can be safely 

imported subject to one or more of the 

five designated phytosanitary measures 

listed in paragraph (b) of that section. 

APHIS received a request from the 

national plant protection organization of 

Nigeria to allow the importation of fresh

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 7, 2022 / Notices 34633 

Oha leaves (Pterocarpus mildbraedii) 

from Nigeria into the continental United 

States. As part of our evaluation of 

Nigeria’s request, we have prepared a 

pest risk assessment (PRA) to identify 

the pests of quarantine significance that 

could follow the pathway of the 

importation of fresh Oha leaves from 

Nigeria into the continental United 

States. Based on the PRA, a risk 

management document (RMD) was 

prepared to identify phytosanitary 

measures that could be applied to the 

fresh Oha leaves to mitigate the pest 

risk. 

Therefore, in accordance with 

§ 319.56–4(c), we are announcing the 

availability of our PRA and RMD for 

public review and comment. Those 

documents, as well as a description of 

the economic considerations associated 

with the importation of fresh Oha leaves 

from Nigeria, may be viewed on the 

Regulations.gov website or in our 

reading room (see ADDRESSES above for 

a link to Regulations.gov and 

information on the location and hours of 

the reading room). You may request 

paper copies of the PRA and RMD by 

calling or writing to the person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. Please refer to the subject of 

the analysis you wish to review when 

requesting copies. 

After reviewing any comments we 

receive, we will announce our decision 

regarding the import status of fresh Oha 

leaves from Nigeria in a subsequent 

notice. If the overall conclusions of our 

analysis and the Administrator’s 

determination of risk remain unchanged 

following our consideration of the 

comments, then we will authorize the 

importation of fresh Oha leaves from 

Nigeria into the continental United 

States subject to the requirements 

specified in the RMD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Mycoplasma Bovis in Bison 

2022 Case Control Study. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0482. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Animal Health 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), 

the Secretary of Agriculture is 

authorized to protect the health of 

livestock, poultry, and aquaculture 

populations in the United States by 

preventing the introduction and 

interstate spread of serious diseases and 

pests of livestock and for eradicating 

such diseases within the United States 

when feasible. This authority has been 

delegated to the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS). 

APHIS first recognized Mycoplasma 

bovis as an emerging pathogen in bison 

herds in 2013. Since that time, few 

additional premises had been reported 

as affected until 2021, when multiple 

new premises and herds experienced 

significant losses attributed to the 

appearance of Mycoplasma bovis in the 

herds. These herds began experiencing 

10 to 50 percent herd loss affecting 

multiple age classes, with reproductiveaged cows suffering the most significant 

losses. Despite the unique and 

significant burden of this pathogen on 

bison, little information exists on the 

sources of infection to naı ̈ve herds. 

Once affected, bison producers report 

significant recurrent losses in 

subsequent years, and producers who 

were first affected in 2013 continued to 

experience significant losses, 

particularly in 2021. Diagnostic testing 

is not currently able to identify animals 

infected but not shedding the bacterium; 

therefore, these animals can serve as a 

source of infection during subsequent 

years. To limit additional herds 

becoming infected in the 2022 season, 

APHIS is conducting a study on the 

potential sources of new infections in 

naı ̈ve herds and will collect information 

needed to identify risk factors for this 

rapidly spreading pathogen. Identifying 

risk factors is critical for developing 

prevention and control 

recommendations that are necessary 

because there are no effective treatments 

or vaccines currently for this pathogen 

and resulting mortality losses are high 

and recurring. 

The information collection activity 

associated with this study consists of a 

multi-question questionnaire 

administered to bison producers (herd 

owners or managers). In April 2022, 

APHIS requested and was granted 

emergency approval by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

conduct this information collection 

activity for 6 months. We are asking
