SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

authority of the Agricultural Marketing 

Act of 1946, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1621– 

1627), the United States Department of 

Agriculture maintains a set of model 

regulations relating to quality and 

sanitation requirements for the 

production and processing of 

manufacturing grade milk. These 

Recommended Requirements are 

developed by AMS and recommended 

for adoption and enforcement by the 

various States that regulate 

manufacturing grade milk. The purpose 

of the model requirements is to promote 

uniformity in State dairy laws and 

regulations relating to manufacturing 

grade milk. 

In consultation with representatives 

from NASDA, State regulatory agencies, 

51748 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 168 / Wednesday, August 31, 2005 / Notices 

Food and Drug Administration, and 

dairy industry trade associations, the 

Department prepared the Recommended 

Requirements to promote uniformity in 

State dairy laws and regulations for 

manufacturing grade milk. To 

accommodate changes that have 

occurred in the dairy industry, NASDA 

and various State officials have from 

time-to-time requested USDA to update 

the Recommended Requirements. 

During its July 2003 annual meeting, 

the Dairy Division of NASDA passed 

resolutions requesting USDA to provide 

provisions for sheep milk, add followup procedures used when plantcommingled milk in storage tanks 

exceeds the maximum allowable 

bacterial estimate, and providing a 

definition for heat-treated cream. AMS 

reviewed these resolutions and 

developed a draft that identified the 

changes associated with this request. 

This draft was provided to State 

regulatory officials and dairy trade 

association representatives for informal 

discussion prior to publication in the 

Federal Register. 

Subsequently, a notice of proposal to 

change the document, ‘‘Milk for 

Manufacturing Purposes and Its 

Production and Processing 

Requirements Recommended for 

Adoption by State Regulatory Agencies’’

was published in the Federal Register 

on Thursday, April 21, 2005 (70 FR 

20730). The notice of proposal to change 

the document provided for a 60-day 

comment period that ended on June 20, 

2005. No comments were received. A 

second notice published on August 18, 

2005 (70 FR 48515) is hereby 

withdrawn. The August 18th notice 

duplicates the original notice and was 

published in error. 

Accordingly, the changes proposed in 

the Milk for Manufacturing Purposes 

and It’s Production and Processing: 

Recommended Requirements for 

Adoption by State Regulatory Agencies 

are incorporated in the revised 

Recommended Requirements. The 

Recommended Requirements 

(incorporating the changes herein 

adopted) are available either from the 

above address or by accessing the 

information on the Internet at the

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Socio-economic Assessment of 

Marine Protected Areas Management 

Preferences.

OMB Approval Number: 0648–0494. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Burden Hours: 234 

Number of Respondents: 234. 

Average Hours Per Response: 1 hour. 

Needs and Uses: Several studies have 

shown that the haphazard placement of 

traps damages hard corals and 

gorgonians. In addition, to physically 

damaging hard corals and gorgonians 

traps target various overexploited reef 

fish species, which further threaten the 

health and stability of coral reef 

habitats. To protect coral reef habitats 

and ensure the sustainable use reef fish 

resources, the Caribbean Fishery 

Management Council (CFMC) is 

considering limiting the total number of 

traps in the fishery. The goal of the 

proposed survey is to gather 

socioeconomic information on the 

Caribbean (Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. 

John, and St. Croix) trap fishery to 

support the management and 

conservation efforts of the CFMC. The 

information collected will be used to 

satisfy regulatory objectives and 

analytical requirements, and to assist 

the CFMC in selecting policies that meet 

conservation and management goals and 

minimize to the extent possible any 

adverse economic impacts on fishery 

participants. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Frequency: One-time survey. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
