laboratories engaged in the testing of 

animals for SARS CoV–2. 

The NAHRS 2 and NVSL 201 burden, 

which is currently under Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number 0579–0476 (SARS–CoV–2 

Testing in Animals Reporting 

Activities), is being merged into this 

collection (0579–0299). Upon renewal 

of this information collection request, 

0579–0476 will be discontinued. 

We are asking OMB to approve our 

use of these information collection 

activities, as described, for 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate 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; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 4.27 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: State and private 

veterinarians and animal scientists. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 77. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 20. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 1,548. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 6,615 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 2nd day of 

June 2022.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Commodity Credit Corporation 

Domestic Sugar Program—2022-Crop 

Cane Sugar Marketing Allotments and 

Cane and Beet Processor Allocations 

AGENCY: Commodity Credit Corporation 

(CCC), USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The United States Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) is issuing this 

notice to revise State cane sugar 

allotments, revise company allocations 

to sugar beet and sugar cane processors, 

and reassign some cane sugar marketing 

allotment to raw cane sugar imports 

already anticipated. This applies to all 

domestic beet and cane sugar marketed 

for human consumption in the United 

States from October 1, 2021, through 

September 30, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kent 

Lanclos, telephone, (202) 720–0114; or 

email, kent.lanclos@usda.gov. Persons 

with disabilities who require alternative 

means for communication should 

contact the USDA Target Center at (202) 

720–2600 (voice). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 30, 2021, USDA announced 

the initial fiscal year 2022 (FY 2022) 

overall sugar marketing allotment 

quantity (OAQ), which was established 

at 10,370,000 short tons, raw value, 

(STRV). This was equal to 85 percent of 

the estimated quantity of sugar for 

domestic human consumption for FY 

2022 of 12,200,000 STRV, as forecast in 

the September 2021 World Agricultural 

Supply and Demand Estimates report. 

The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 

1938, as amended, requires that 54.35 

percent of the OAQ be distributed 

among beet processors and 45.65 

percent be distributed among the sugar 

cane States and cane processors. 

On December 22, 2021, USDA: (1) 

Increased the FY 2022 OAQ to 

10,802,657 STRV; (2) consequently 

revised the cane and beet sector 

marketing allotments, the State cane 

sugar marketing allotments, and cane 

and beet processor allocations according 

to formulas contained in the authorizing 

legislation for the Sugar Program; 1 and 

(3) transferred allocations from beet 

processors with surplus allocation to 

those in need of additional allocation. 

USDA determined that no reassignment 

of allotments among sugar cane States 

and allocations among cane processors 

was necessary at that time. 

In accordance with section 359e of the 

Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, 

after evaluating again each sugar beet 

processor’s ability to market its full 

allocation, USDA is transferring FY 

2022 allocations from sugar beet 

processors with surplus allocation to 

those in need of additional allocation. 

This transfer is presented in the table 

below. USDA is not reassigning any FY 

2022 beet allocations to raw cane sugar 

imports at this time, given the 

uncertainty of beet sugar production 

quantities from new crop sugar beets in 

the final 2 months (August through 

September) of FY 2022. 

USDA has also determined that 

domestic cane sugar supplies are 

inadequate to fill the FY 2022 cane 

sugar marketing allotment. In 

accordance with section 359e of the 

Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, 

USDA is reassigning 600,000 STRV of 

this deficit to raw cane sugar imports 

already anticipated under the FY 2022 

tariff-rate quotas (TRQ) for raw cane 

sugar, given the absence of any CCC 

stocks of sugar.

These FY 2022 sugar marketing 

allotment program actions will not 

prevent any domestic sugar cane or 

sugar beet processor from marketing all 

its FY 2022 sugar supply. USDA will 

closely monitor stocks, consumption, 

imports, and all sugar market and 

program variables on an ongoing basis 

and may make further program 

adjustments during FY 2022, if needed.
