SUMMARY: The African Growth and

Committee (the ‘‘Subcommittee’’) is 

requesting written public comments for 

the annual review of the eligibility of 

sub-Saharan African countries to receive 

the benefits of the African Growth and 

Opportunity Act (AGOA). The 

Subcommittee will consider these 

comments in developing 

recommendations on AGOA country 

eligibility for the President. Comments 

received related to the child labor 

criteria may also be considered by the 

Secretary of Labor for the preparation of 

the Department of Labor’s report on 

child labor as required under section 

412(c) of the Trade and Development 

Act of 2000. This notice identifies the 

eligibility criteria that must be 

considered under the AGOA, and lists 

those sub-Saharan African countries 

that are currently eligible for the 

benefits of the AGOA, and those that are 

currently ineligible for such benefits. 

DATES: Public comments are due at the 

Office of the U.S. Trade Representative 

(USTR) by noon, Thursday, October 21, 

2010. 

ADDRESSES: USTR strongly prefers 

electronic submissions made at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, docket number 

USTR–2010–0024. See ‘‘Requirements

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

procedural questions, please contact 

Gloria Blue, Office of the U.S. Trade 

Representative, 600 17th Street, NW., 

Room F516, Washington, DC 20508, at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

AGOA (Title I of the Trade and 

Development Act of 2000, Pub. L. 106– 

200) (19 U.S.C. 3721 et seq.), as 

amended, authorizes the President to 

designate sub-Saharan African countries 

as beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

countries eligible for duty-free treatment 

for certain additional products under 

the Generalized System of Preferences 

(GSP) (Title V of the Trade Act of 1974 

(19 U.S.C. 2461 et seq.) (the ‘‘1974 

Act’’)), as well as for the preferential 

treatment the AGOA provides for 

certain textile and apparel articles. 

The President may designate a 

country as a beneficiary sub-Saharan 

African country eligible for both the 

additional GSP benefits and the textile 

and apparel benefits of the AGOA for 

countries meeting certain statutory 

requirements intended to prevent 

unlawful transshipment of such articles, 

if he determines that the country meets 

the eligibility criteria set forth in: (1) 

Section 104 of the AGOA; and (2) 

section 502 of the 1974 Act. For 2010, 

39 countries have been designated as 

beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

countries. These countries, as well as 

the 9 countries currently ineligible, are 

listed below. Section 506A of the 1974 

Act provides that the President shall 

monitor and review annually the 

progress of each sub-Saharan African 

country in meeting the foregoing 

eligibility criteria in order to determine 

whether each beneficiary sub-Saharan 

African country should continue to be 

eligible, and whether each sub-Saharan 

African country that is currently not a 

beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

country, should be designated as such a 

country. Section 506A of the 1974 Act 

requires that, if the President 

determines that a beneficiary subSaharan African country is not making 

continual progress in meeting the 

eligibility requirements, he must 

terminate the designation of the country 

as a beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

country. 

The Subcommittee is seeking public 

comments in connection with the 

annual review of the eligibility of 

beneficiary sub-Saharan African 

countries for the AGOA’s benefits. The 

Subcommittee will consider any such 

comments in developing 

recommendations on country eligibility 

for the President. Comments related to 

the child labor criteria may also be 

considered by the Secretary of Labor in 

making the findings required under 

section 504 of the 1974 Act. The 

following sub-Saharan African countries 

were designated as beneficiary subSaharan African countries in 2010:Q

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Measurement of Assets and 

Liabilities for Pension Funding 

Purposes. 

OMB Number: 1545–2095. 

Regulation Project Number: REG– 

139236–07 (TD 9467). 

Abstract: (These final regulations 

were issued in two separate NPRMs, 

which received separate OMB control 

numbers of 1545–2095 and 1545–2112. 

The NPRMs have been combined into a 

single set of final regulations and the 

IRS is changing the Information 

Collection Request (ICR) under OMB 

control number 1545–2095 and 

abandoning the ICR under OMB control 

number 1545–2112. The collections that 

were under 1545–2112 are being added 

to 1545–2095.) 

In order to implement the statutory 

provisions under sections 430 and 436, 

this final regulation contains collections 

of information in §§ 1.430(f)–1(f), 

1.430(h)(2)–1(e), 1.436–1(f), and 1.436– 

1(h). The information required under 

§ 1.430(f)–1(f) is required in order for 

plan sponsors to make elections 

regarding a plan’s credit balances upon 

occasion. The information under 

§ 1.430(g)–1(d)(3) is required in order 

for a plan sponsor to include as a plan 

asset a contribution made to avoid a 

restriction under section 436. The 

information required under 

§ 1.430(h)(2)–1(e) is required in order 

for a plan sponsor to make an election 

to use an alternative interest rate for 

purposes of determining a plan’s 

funding obligations under § 1.430(h)(2)– 

1. The information required under 

§§ 1.436–1(f) and 1.436–1(h) is required 

in order for a qualified defined benefit 

plan’s enrolled actuary to provide a 

timely certification of the plan’s 

adjusted funding target attainment 

percentage (AFTAP) for each plan year 

to avoid certain benefit restrictions. 

Current Actions: There is no change to 

this existing regulation. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals, business 

or other for-profit organizations, not-forprofit institutions and Federal, state, 

local or tribal governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

80,000. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 1.5 

hrs. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 120,000. 

The following paragraph applies to all 

of the collections of information covered 

by this notice: 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Books or records relating to a collection 

of information must be retained as long 

as their contents may become material 

in the administration of any internal 

revenue law. Generally, tax returns and 

tax return information are confidential, 

as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
