30-Day federal register notice

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 187 / Thursday, September 26, 2019 / Notices
As described in the petition, MON
88702 cotton was generated using
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation
with plasmid PV–GHIR508523
containing the mCry51Aa2 expression
cassette. The coding sequence
mCry51Aa2 produces a modified
Cry51Aa2 insecticidal crystal (Cry)
protein derived from Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt) that protects cotton
against feeding damage caused by
targeted hemipteran (Lygus hesperus
and Lygus lineolaris) and thysanopteran
(Frankliniella spp.) insect pests. MON
88702 cotton has been field tested in the
continental United States and Puerto
Rico over 8 years as authorized under
APHIS permits and notifications. Field
tests conducted under APHIS oversight
allowed for evaluation in a natural
agricultural setting while imposing
measures to minimize the likelihood of
persistence in the environment after
completion of the tests. Data are
gathered on multiple parameters and
used by the applicant to evaluate
agronomic characteristics and product
performance. These and other data are
used by APHIS to determine if the new
variety poses a plant pest risk.
Paragraph (d) of § 340.6 provides that
APHIS will publish a notice in the
Federal Register providing 60 days for
public comment for petitions for a
determination of nonregulated status.
On March 6, 2012, we published in the
Federal Register (77 FR 13258–13260,
Docket No. APHIS–2011–0129) a
notice 1 describing our process for
soliciting public comment when
considering petitions for determinations
of nonregulated status for GE organisms.
In that notice we indicated that APHIS
would accept written comments
regarding a petition once APHIS
deemed it complete.
In accordance with § 340.6(d) of the
regulations and our process for
soliciting public input when
considering petitions for determinations
of nonregulated status for GE organisms,
we are publishing this notice to inform
the public that APHIS will accept
written comments regarding the petition
for a determination of nonregulated
status from interested or affected
persons for a period of 60 days from the
date of this notice. The petition is
available for public review and
comment, and copies are available as
indicated under ADDRESSES and FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above.
We are interested in receiving
comments regarding potential
environmental and interrelated

economic issues and impacts that
APHIS may determine should be
considered in our evaluation of the
petition. We are particularly interested
in receiving comments regarding
biological, cultural, or ecological issues,
and we encourage the submission of
scientific data, studies, or research to
support your comments.
After the comment period closes,
APHIS will review all written comments
received during the comment period
and any other relevant information. Any
substantive issues identified by APHIS
based on our review of the petition and
our evaluation and analysis of
comments will be considered in the
development of our decision making
documents. As part of our decision
making process regarding a GE
organism’s regulatory status, APHIS
prepares a plant pest risk assessment to
assess its plant pest risk and the
appropriate environmental
documentation—either an
environmental assessment (EA) or an
environmental impact statement (EIS)—
in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to
provide the Agency with a review and
analysis of any potential environmental
impacts associated with the petition
request. For petitions for which APHIS
prepares an EA, APHIS will follow our
published process for soliciting public
comment (see footnote 1) and publish a
separate notice in the Federal Register
announcing the availability of APHIS’
EA and plant pest risk assessment.
Should APHIS determine that an EIS
is necessary, APHIS will complete the
NEPA EIS process in accordance with
Council on Environmental Quality
regulations (40 CFR part 1500–1508)
and APHIS’ NEPA implementing
regulations (7 CFR part 372).
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 7701–7772 and 7781–

September 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Process for a Swap Execution
Facility or Designated Contract Market
to Make a Swap Available to Trade
(OMB Control No. 3038–0099). This is
a request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: The collection of
information is needed to help determine
which swaps should be subject to the
trade execution requirement under
Section 2(h)(8) of the Commodity
Exchange Act pursuant to Section 723 of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act. A SEF or
DCM that submits a determination that
a swap is available to trade must
address at least one of several factors to
demonstrate that the swap is suitable for
trading pursuant to the trade execution
requirement. The Commission uses the
collection of information to facilitate the
application of the trade execution
requirement and the requirements
associated with methods of execution
under parts 37 and 38 of the
Commission’s regulations.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. On July 22, 2019, the
Commission published in the Federal
Register notice of the proposed
extension of this information collection
and provided 60 days for public
comment on the proposed extension, 84
FR 35102 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The
Commission did not receive any
comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The Commission

prescribed factors and data to make a
