1On May 28, 2022, the World Organization for 

Animal Health announced a change to its acronym 

from OIE to WOAH to match its full name. See 

https://www.woah.org/en/the-world-organisationfor-animal-health-launches-its-refreshed-brandidentity/. 

OMB to approve our use of this 

information collection activity for an 

additional 3 years in the event 

additional study opportunities arise 

from future unanticipated Mycoplasma 

bovis outbreaks in bison herds. 

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 0.25 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Bison producers (herd 

owners or managers). 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 220. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 220. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 55 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Animal Health 

Reporting System. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0299. 

Type of Request: Revision to and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: Under the Animal Health 

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

the Animal Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) is authorized, among 

other things, to prohibit or restrict the 

importation and interstate movement of 

animals and other articles to prevent the 

introduction and interstate spread of 

livestock diseases and to eradicate such 

diseases from the United States when 

feasible. In connection with this 

mission, APHIS operates the National 

Animal Health Reporting System 

(NAHRS), which collects, on a national 

basis, monthly data from State 

veterinarians on the presence or absence 

of diseases of interest to the World 

Organization for Animal Health 

(WOAH).1

As a member country of WOAH, the 

United States must submit reports to 

WOAH on the status of certain diseases 

in specific livestock, poultry, and 

aquaculture species. Reportable diseases 

are diseases that have the potential for 

rapid spread, irrespective of national 

borders, that are of serious 

socioeconomic or public health 

consequence, and that are of major 

importance in the international trade of 

animals and animal products. The 

potential benefits to trade of accurate 

reporting on the health status of the U.S. 

commercial livestock, poultry, and 

aquaculture industries include 

expansion of those industries into new 

export markets and preservation of 

existing markets through increased 

confidence in quality and disease 

freedom. This data collection is unique 

in terms of the type, quantity, and 

frequency because no other entity is 

collecting and reporting data to WOAH 

on the health status of U.S. livestock, 

poultry, and aquaculture. Information 

collected from the States include 

monthly NAHRS 1 reports and National 

List of Reportable Animal Diseases 

NAHRS 2 emerging disease reporting 

forms, and from the private sector,

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 4.27 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: State and private 

veterinarians and animal scientists.

respondents: 77. 

Estimated annual number of

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.)

BILLING CODE 3410–34–P 

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.
