of birth in this instance because it serves
as a unique identifier if there should be
an instance of two veterinarians signing
in under the same first and last names,
and as previously stated, we do not
require the NAN because of problems
arising when the veterinarian does not
remember his or her NAN or records it
incorrectly.
As to the possible vulnerability to
personal identity security, as described
in the system of records notice referred
to above, the system is physically
secured in a locked facility with access
only by authorized APHIS personnel.
Data is stored and backed up using
protocols established by the Fort
Collins, CO, data center. Access to the
records in the system is limited to those
individuals who have a need to know
the information for the performance of
their official duties and who have
appropriate clearances or permissions.
Data available to individual users is
role-based, which further limits access.
Users must have USDA eAuthentication
credentials and sign in using authorized
logins and passwords. Employees who
save spreadsheets containing data from
the system are responsible for protecting
the data. Files on employees’ computers
are also protected by encryption
software and login and password
requirements. On an annual basis, all
users are required to undergo
information security training and to sign
rules of behavior. Failure to comply
with rules of behavior can result in
corrective actions, including written
reprimands, temporary suspension from
duty, reassignment, demotion, or
termination, suspension of system
privileges, and possible criminal
prosecution.
Based on our proposal to alter the
system of records and the reasons given
in this document, the system will
remain as proposed.
Done in Washington, DC, this 27th day of
July 2016.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.

Title: Dairy Tariff-rate Import Quota
Licensing Program.
OMB Number: 0551–0001.
Expiration Date of Approval: May 31,
2017.
Type of Request: Extension and
revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The currently approved
information collection supports the
Dairy Tariff-rate Import Quota
regulation (the Regulation) (7 CFR 6.20–
6.36) which governs the administration
SUMMARY:

of the import licensing system
applicable to most dairy products
subject to tariff-rate quotas (TRQs). The
TRQs were established in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS) as a result of the
entry into force of certain provisions in
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act
(Pub. L. 103–465) that converted
existing absolute quotas to TRQs.
Imports of nearly all cheeses made from
cow’s milk (except soft-ripened cheese
such as Brie) and certain non-cheese
dairy products (including butter and
dried milk) are subject to TRQs and the
Regulation. Licenses are issued each
quota year to eligible applicants and are
valid for 12 months (January 1 through
December 31). Only licensees may enter
specified quantities of the subject dairy
articles at the applicable in-quota tariffrates. Importers who do not hold
licenses may enter dairy articles only at
the over-quota tariff-rates.
Each quota year, all applicants must
submit form FAS 923 (rev. 7–96). This
form, available online, requires
applicants to: (1) Certify they are an
importer, manufacturer or exporter of
certain dairy products; (2) certify they
meet the eligibility requirements of
§ 6.23 of the Regulation; and (3) submit
documentation required by § 6.23 and
§ 6.24 as proof of eligibility for import
licenses. Applicants for non-historical
licenses must also submit form FAS
923–A (rev. 7–96) (cheese) and/or FAS
923–B (rev. 7–96) (non-cheese dairy
products). This form requires applicants
to request licenses in descending order
of preference for specific products and
countries listed on the form.
After licenses are issued, § 6.26
requires licensees to surrender by
October 1 on form FAS 924–A, License
Surrender Form, any license amount
that a licensee does not intend to enter
that year. These amounts are
reallocated, to the extent practicable, to
existing licensees for the remainder of
that year based on requests submitted
on form FAS 924–B, Application for
Additional License Amounts. Forms
924A and 924B require the licensee to
complete a table listing the surrendered
amount by license number, or listing the
additional amounts requested by dairy
article and supplying country in
descending order of preference.
The estimated total annual burden of
436 hours in the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) inventory for the
currently approved information
collection will remain at 436 hours. The
public reporting burden for this
collection of currently approved forms
FAS 923, FAS 923–A and 923–B (one
form) (rev. 7–96) is estimated to average

436 hours; and FAS 924–A and FAS
924–B (one form) is 23 hours.
Estimate of Burden: The average
burden, including the time for
reviewing instructions, gathering data
needed, completing forms, and record
keeping is estimated at .75 hour for form
FAS 923, 923–A, 923–B (rev. 7–96) and
.15 hour for form 924–A, 924–B.
Respondents: Importers and
manufacturers of cheese and non-cheese
dairy products, and exporters of noncheese dairy products.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
550 for form FAS 923, 923–A, 923–B
(rev. 7–96) and 150 for form 924–A,
924–B (rev. 7–96).
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 436
hours.
Requests for Comments: Send
comments regarding (a) whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden 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 those who are to respond, including
through the use of automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques, or
other forms of information technology.
Copies of this information collection
may be obtained from Connie Ehrhart,
the Agency Information Collection
Coordinator, at (202) 690–1578.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments also
will become a matter of public record.
FAS is committed to compliance with
the Government Paperwork Elimination
Act (GPEA), which requires Government
agencies, in general, to provide the
public the option of submitting
information or transacting business
electronically to the maximum extent
possible. Electronic submission of the
information collection was
implemented on September 2009 in
compliance with the GPEA.
