Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service *Title:* Tuberculosis, TB in Cattle, Bison, and Goats. *OMB Control Number:* 0579-0146. *Summary of Collection:* The United States Department of Agriculture is responsible for, among other things preventing the interstate spread of pests and diseases of livestock within the United States and for conducting eradication programs. In connection with this mission, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) participates in the Cooperative State-Federal Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication Program, which is a national program to eliminate bovine tuberculosis from the United States. The tuberculosis regulations, contained in 9 CFR part 77, provide several levels of tuberculosis risk classifications to be applied to States and zones within States, and classify States and zones according to their tuberculosis risk. The zoning, testing and movement activities will require the use of several information collection activities. *Need and Use of the Information:* APHIS will collect the following information:

(1)Submission of a formal request that a zone within a given State is given a different tuberculosis status than the rest of the State,

(2)an epidemiological review of reports of all testing for all zones within the State within 30 days of testing,

(3)the submission of an annual report to APHIS in order to qualify for renewal of accredited free State or zone status,

(4)the completion of a certificate of tuberculin test that must accompany certain regulated animals that are moved interstate,

(5)the retention, for 2 years of any certificates documenting the movement of regulated animals into and out of zones; and

(6)the creation of a tuberculosis herd management plan as a tool for eradicating the disease within a State or zone. Without the information APHIS would not be able to operate an effective tuberculosis surveillance, containment, and eradication program. *Description of Respondents:* Business or other for-profit; Farms; State, Local or Tribal Government. *Number of Respondents:* 200. *Frequency of Responses:* Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. *Total Burden Hours:* 600. *Title:* Horse Protection Regulations. *OMB Control Number:* 0579-0056. *Summary of Collection:* 9 CFR part 11, Regulations, implement the Horse Protection Act of 1970 (Pub. L. 91-540), as amended July 13, 1976 (Pub. L. 94-360), and are authorized under section 9 of the Act. The Horse Protection Legislation was enacted to prevent showing, exhibiting, selling, or auctioning of “sore” horses, and certain transportation of sore horses in connection therewith at horse shows, horse exhibitions, horse sales, and horse auctions. A sore horse is a horse that has received pain-provoking practices that cause the horse to have an accentuated, high stepping gait. Sored horses cannot be entered in an event by any person, including trainers, riders, or owners. Management of shows, sales, exhibitions, or auctions must identify sored horses to prevent their participation under the act. *Need and Use of the Information:* APHIS will collect information at specified intervals from Horse Industry Organizations

(HIO)and show managements. HIOs must maintain an acceptable Designated Qualified Person program and recordkeeping system as outlined in the regulations. Information provided by the HIOs through designated qualified persons allows APHIS to monitor whether enforcement of the Horse Protection Act, its regulations, and certifying programs are effective. *Description of Respondents:* Business or other for-profit; Farms. *Number of Respondents:* 1.514. *Frequency of Responses:* Recordkeeping; Reporting: Quarterly; Monthly; Annually. *Total Burden Hours:* 2,357.

Economic Research Service *Title:* Food Security Supplement to the Current Population Survey. *OMB Control Number:* 0536-0043. *Summary of Collection:* The Food Security Supplement is sponsored by the Economic Research Service

(ERS)as a research and evaluation activity authorized under Section 17 of the Food Stamp Act of 1977 as amended. ERS is collaborating with the Food and Nutrition Service

(FNS)and the Bureau of Census to continue this program of research and development. The Food Stamp Program

(FSP)is currently the primary source of nutrition assistance for low-income Americans enabling households to improve their diet by increasing their food purchasing power. As the nation's primary public program for ensuring food security and alleviating hunger, the Food Stamp Program needs to regularly monitor food security conditions among its target population. This need requires that USDA continue basic data collection, analysis, and evaluation. *Need and Use of the Information:* ERS will collect information from the Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement to routinely obtain data from a large, representative national sample in order to develop a measure that can be used to track the prevalence of food insecurity and hunger within the U.S. population, as a whole, and in selected population subgroups, and to continue development and improvement of methods for measuring these conditions. The data collected will partially fulfill the requirements of the Congressionally mandated 10-Year Plan for the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Program. *Description of Respondents:* Individuals or Households. *Number of Respondents:* 55,360. *Frequency of Responses:* Reporting: On occasion. *Total Burden Hours:* 7,039.

(CCC)announces, for the 2006 crops of wheat, corn, and other feed grains, the acceptance of collateral for marketing assistance loans, warehouse receipts issued by a warehouse storing such commodity in outside storage, subject to the conditions outlined in this notice. This notice is intended to ensure adequate availability of storage space at harvest for producers seeking warehouse-stored marketing assistance loans for grain. DATES: *Effective Date:* July 3, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Howard Froehlich, Warehouse and Inventory Division, Farm Service Agency, United States Department of Agriculture, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., STOP 0553, Washington, DC 20250-0553, telephone

(202)720-7398, FAX

(202)690-3123, e-mail: *Howard.Froehlich@wdc.usda.gov.* Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication for regulatory information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA's TARGET Center at

(202)720-2600 (voice and TDD). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background To be eligible for a Marketing Assistance Loan under the loan provisions of 7 CFR part 1421, an eligible commodity must be stored in approved storage, which is either on-farm storage, or an approved warehouse that meets the CCC standards for approval of warehouses. Further, in accordance with the CCC Charter Act (15 U.S.C. 714 *et seq.* ), CCC enters into storage agreements with private grain and rice warehouse operators to provide for the storage of commodities owned by CCC or pledged as security to CCC for marketing assistance loans. To ease the demands made on approved warehouse space for the 2006 crop, the CCC will accept as collateral for marketing assistance loans for corn, wheat, and other feed grains, warehouse receipts issued by a warehouse that is storing such commodity in outside storage if the warehouse has executed a Uniform Grain and Rice Storage Agreement (UGRSA) with CCC and if the warehouse is either: 1. A Federally-licensed warehouse under the United States Warehouse Act

(USWA)and is in compliance with the provisions of its USWA license; or 2. For all other warehouses, the warehouse is in compliance with State laws allowing the outside storage of such commodities. USWA Emergency Storage Requirements Warehouse operators requesting emergency storage space under the USWA must: 1. Receive USWA licensing authority approval for the use of emergency storage space; 2. Meet USWA's security, net worth, bonding, and insurance requirements as required for conventional storage space; 3. Provide written justification that a need for emergency storage exists in the local area including the exact location and quantity requested; 4. Meet USWA's requirement that emergency storage space be accessible for examination purposes; 5. Receive USWA approval for the emergency storage space prior to using such space; 6. Maintain a separate inventory record of all grain stored in emergency storage space as well as account for such grain in the Daily Position Record; 7. Agree that all emergency storage space will be deleted from the license no later than March 31, 2007; and 8. Emergency storage is limited to wheat, corn, and other feed grains unless otherwise allowed by the USWA. Warehouse Operator's Liability The use of emergency storage space does not relieve warehouse operators of their obligations under the USWA, State licensing authority (as applicable), or the UGRSA. Warehouse operators are responsible for the quantity and quality of grain stored in emergency storage space to the same extent as their liability for conventional storage space. Signed at Washington, DC, June 23, 2006. Teresa C. Lasseter, Administrator, Farm Service Agency, and Executive Vice-President, Commodity Credit Corporation. [FR Doc.
