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.

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.

Senior Procurement Executive.

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
