AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL 

DEVELOPMENT 

30-Day Notice of Public Information 

Collections 

AGENCY: Agency for International 

Development. 

ACTION: Notice of public information 

collections. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Agency for 

International Development (USAID) 

seeks Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval for the information 

collection described below. In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, USAID requests 

public comment on this collection from 

all interested individuals and 

organizations. This proposed 

information collection was published in 

the Federal Register on March 5, 2021 

at 86 FR 12901, allowing for a 60-day 

public comment period. The purpose of 

this notice is to allow an additional 30 

days for public comment. Comments are 

requested concerning whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

functions of the agency, including the 

practical utility of the information; the 

accuracy of USAID’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

July 15, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs of OMB, Attention: Desk Officer 

for USAID. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jacqueline Taylor, at (202) 916–2628 or 

via email at policymailbox@usaid.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB No: 0412–0520. 

Form: AID 1420–17. 

Title: Contractor Employee 

Biographical Data Sheet corresponding 

to AIDAR 752.7001. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement, 

without change, for a previously 

approved collection for which approval 

has expired. 

The affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond are Offerors 

responding to contract solicitations and 

contractors. An estimate of the total 

number of respondents and the amount 

of time estimated for an average 

respondent to respond is: USAID 

estimates that 4,877 respondents will 

submit 33,249 submissions per year. 

The amount of time estimated to 

complete each response varies by item. 

An estimate of the total public burden 

(in hours) associated with the 

collections is 43,943. 

An estimate of the total public burden 

(in cost) associated with the collection 

is $4,054,200. Note that while the 

burden for these information collections 

falls on the public, most of the 

submissions are reimbursable either 

directly or indirectly under Agency 

contracts, the cost for most of these 

collections falls under the federal cost 

burden. Thus, the estimated total public 

cost burden not reimbursed through 

Agency contracts is $57,570.24. 

Discussion of Comment: One 

comment was received regarding the 

Federal Register Notice published in 

the Federal Register on March 5, 2021 

at 86 FR 12901. The commenter 

recommended increasing the form block 

size. He also pointed out that the time 

needed to complete the form on the 

form itself doesn’t match the time 

provided on the agency’s supporting 

statement. USAID considered the public 

comment and determined that the 

response box size on the form is 

adequate. USAID did not find any 

inconsistencies on the Bio-data form. No 

changes to the form were made as a 

result of the public comment.

United States Standards for Split Peas 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of final action. 

SUMMARY: This action is being taken 

under the authority of the Agricultural 

Marketing Act of 1946, as amended 

(AMA). The United States Department 

of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) is revising the 

method of interpretation for the 

determination of whole peas in the Pea 

and Lentil Inspection Handbook 

pertaining to the class ‘‘Split Peas,’’ in 

the U.S. Standards for Split Peas. 

Stakeholders in the pea processing/ 

handling industry requested that AMS 

amend the interpretation of ‘‘whole 

peas’’ in the Split Pea inspection 

instructions by increasing the percent 

tolerance for the factor whole peas. 

DATES: Applicability date: June 15, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

authority of the AMA (7 U.S.C. 1621– 

1627), as amended, AMS establishes 

and maintains a variety of quality and 

grade standards for agricultural 

commodities that serve as a 

fundamental starting point to define 

commodity quality in the domestic and 

global marketplace. 

Standards developed under the AMA 

include those for rice, whole dry peas, 

split peas, feed peas, lentils, and beans. 

The U.S. Standards for whole dry peas, 

split peas, feed peas, lentils and beans 

no longer appear in the Code of Federal 

Regulations but are now maintained by 

USDA–AMS–Federal Grain Inspection 

Service (AMS–FGIS). The U.S. 

Standards for split peas are voluntary 

and widely used in private contracts, 

government procurement, marketing 

communication, and for some 

commodities, consumer information. 

The split pea standards facilitate pea 

marketing and define U.S. pea quality in 

the domestic and global marketplace. 

The standards define commonly used 

industry terms; contain basic principles 

governing the application of standards
