DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Foreign Agricultural Service 

Trade Adjustment Assistance for 

Farmers 

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

The Administrator of the Foreign 

Agricultural Service (FAS) will begin 

accepting Trade Adjustment Assistance 

(TAA) for Farmers petitions for Fiscal 

Year 2011. Petitioners must file the 

information required by 7 CFR 

1580.201(c) between May 21, 2010, and 

July 16, 2010. They may use form FAS– 

930 for this purpose. 

Petitions may be sent by fax: (202) 

720–0876; or by e-mail: 

tradeadjustment@fas.usda.gov; or by 

U.S. mail: TAA, Foreign Agricultural 

Service, Stop 1021, USDA, 1400 

Independence Ave., SW., Washington, 

DC 20250–1021; or by courier delivery: 

TAA, Foreign Agricultural Service, 

Suite 400, USDA, 1250 Maryland Ave., 

SW., Washington, DC 20024. The use of 

fax or e-mail is preferred. The petition 

must be received by the close of 

business July 16, 2010. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5) reauthorized 

the TAA for Farmers Program as 

established by Subtitle C of Title I of the 

Trade Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–210), 

which amended the Trade Act of 1974. 

The statute authorizes an appropriation 

of not more than $90 million for each 

fiscal year 2009 through 2010, and $22.5 

million for the period October 1 through 

December 31, 2010, to carry out the 

program. The regulations covering the 

program are found at 7 CFR part 1580. 

Under this program, the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) 

provides technical assistance and cash 

benefits to eligible producers of raw 

agricultural commodities and fishermen 

(jointly referred to as ‘‘producers’’) when 

the FAS Administrator determines that 

increased imports of raw agricultural 

commodities, aquaculture products, or 

wild-caught aquatic species (each 

referred to as ‘‘commodity’’) have 

contributed importantly to a greater 

than 15 percent decrease in the national 

average price, or quantity of production, 

or value of production, or cash receipts 

for the commodity specified in the 

petition, compared to the average of the 

three preceding marketing years. 

To qualify, a group of producers or its 

authorized representative must petition 

the FAS Administrator for trade 

adjustment assistance. Petitions will be 

reviewed for completeness and 

timeliness. Once the petition is 

completed in accordance with 7 CFR 

1580.201, a notice of acceptance will be 

published in the Federal Register, 

initiating a review to verify whether or 

not, for the most recent marketing year 

and for the commodity produced by the 

group, increased imports contributed 

importantly to a greater than 15 percent 

decrease in the national average price, 

or quantity of production, or value of 

production, or cash receipts for the 

agricultural commodity specified in the 

petition, compared to the average of the 

three preceding marketing years. If any 

one of these conditions is met, the FAS 

Administrator will certify the group as 

eligible for trade adjustment assistance 

and publish a notice of the certification 

in the Federal Register. 

Eligible producers covered by the 

certification must file individual 

applications for assistance with USDA’s 

Farm Service Agency within 90 days of 

the certification. 

For further information or assistance 

in completing Form FAS–930, contact 

staff of the Trade Adjustment Assistance 

for Farmers Program by phone: (202) 

720–0638, or by e-mail: 

tradeadjustment@fas.usda.gov.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to Diana Hynek, Departmental 

Paperwork Clearance Officer,

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Larry Hall, BIS ICB Liaison,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This collection of information is 

needed to detect violations of the Export 

Administration Act and Regulations, 

and determine if an investigation or 

prosecution is necessary and to reach a 

settlement with violators. Voluntary 

self-disclosure of EAR violations 

strengthens BIS’s enforcement efforts by 

allowing BIS to conduct investigations 

of the disclosed incidents faster than 

would be the case if BIS had to detect 

the violations without such disclosures. 

BIS evaluates the seriousness of the 

violation and either (1) Informs the 

person making the disclosure that no 

action is warranted; (2) issues a warning 

letter; (3) issues a proposed charging 

letter and attempts to settle the matter; 

(4) issues a charging letter if settlement 

is not reached; and/or (5) refers the 

matter to the U.S. Department of Justice 

for criminal prosecution. 

II. Method of Collection 

Submitted electronically or in paper 

form. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0694–0058. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

193. 

Estimated Time per Response: 10 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,930. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

NTIA proposes to add eight questions 

to the Census Bureau’s October 2010 

Current Population Survey (CPS) in 

order to gather reliable data on 

broadband (also known as high-speed 

Internet) use by U.S. households. 

President Obama has established a 

national goal of universal, affordable 

broadband access for all Americans.1 To 

that end, the Administration is working 

with Congress, the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC), 

and other stakeholders to develop and 

advance economic and regulatory 

policies that foster broadband 

deployment and adoption. Current, 

systematic, and comprehensive data on 

broadband access and non-use by U.S. 

households is critical to allow 

policymakers not only to gauge progress 

made to date, but also to identify 

problem areas with a specificity that 

permits carefully targeted and cost 

effective responses. 

The need for comprehensive 

broadband data has become more 

pressing. The General Accountability 

Office (GAO), NTIA, and the FCC 

recently issued reports noting the lack 

of useful broadband data for 

policymakers, and Congress passed 

legislation—the Broadband Data 

Improvement Act in 2008 and the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment 

Act in 2009—wholly or partly in 

response to such criticisms. The 

Organization for Economic Cooperation 

and Development (OECD) has ranked 

the United States a disappointing 

number 15 in household broadband 

access over the past several years 

despite a period of rapid growth in the 

technology’s penetration. The OECD 

looks to Census data as an important 

input into their inter-country 

benchmark analyses. Modifying the 

October CPS to include NTIA’s 

requested broadband data will allow the 

Commerce Department and NTIA to 

respond to congressional concerns, 

congressional directives, and to work 

with the OECD on its broadband 

methodologies with more recent data. 

II. Method of Collection 

Personal visits and telephone 

interviews, using computer-assisted 

telephone interviewing and computerassisted personal interviewing. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0660–0021.
