persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Animal Plant and Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Tomatoes from
Spain, Chile, France, Morocco, and
Western Sahara.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0131.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (PPA) (7 U.S.C.
7701—et.seq), the Secretary of
Agriculture is authorized to carry out
operations or measure to detect,
eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or
retard the spread of plant pests new to
the United States or not known to be
widely distributed throughout the
United States. Regulations authorized
by the PPA concerning the importation
of fruits and vegetables into the United
States from certain parts of the word are
contained in ‘‘Subpart—Fruits and
Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56–28, referred
to as the regulations). These regulations
allow tomatoes from Spain, Chile,
France, Morocco, and Western Sahara to
be imported into the United States
(subject to certain conditions). This
action is necessary in order to protect
the ripening, or ripe tomatoes from
infestation by the Mediterranean fruit
fly (Medfly).
Need and Use of the Information: The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) will collect information
using the phytosanitary certificate
certifying that the tomatoes were grown
in registered greenhouses in a specified
area of the exporting country. APHIS
will also use marking of boxes to
identify the packing facility, treatment
facility registration, trust fund
agreement, production site registration,
and quality control program. APHIS
uses the collected information to
determine the pest condition of the
shipment at the time of inspection in
the foreign country. Without this
information, all shipments would need
to be inspected very thoroughly, thereby
requiring considerably more time. This
would slow the clearance of
international shipments.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for profit; Federal Government.
Number of Respondents: 10.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Salmonella Initiative Program.
OMB Number: 0583–0154.
Expiration Date of Approval: 01/31/
2015.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the
authority to exercise the functions of the
Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53) as specified
in the Federal Meat Inspection Act
(FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)
(21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.), and the Egg
Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21
U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). FSIS protects the
public by verifying that meat, poultry,
and egg products are safe, wholesome,
not adulterated, and correctly labeled
and packaged.
FSIS is requesting a renewal of a
currently approved information
collection addressing paperwork and
recordkeeping requirements relating to
the SIP. SIP offers incentives to meat
and poultry slaughter establishments to
control Salmonella in their operations.
SIP does this by granting waivers of
certain regulatory requirements with the
condition that establishments test for
Salmonella, Campylobacter (if
applicable), and generic Escherichia coli
or other indicator organisms and share
all sample results with FSIS. SIP
benefits public health because it
encourages establishments to test for
microbial pathogens, which is a key
feature of effective process control.
In return for meeting the conditions of
SIP, the Agency grants establishments
appropriate waivers of certain
regulatory requirements, based upon
establishment proposals and
documentation, under FSIS regulations
at 9 CFR 303.1(h) and 381.3(b). These
regulations specifically provide for the
Administrator to waive for limited
periods any provisions of the
regulations to permit experimentation
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:15 Sep 18, 2014
Jkt 232001
so that new procedures, equipment, or
processing techniques may be tested to
facilitate definite improvements.
Establishments participating in SIP
agree to the conditions of SIP regarding
pathogen testing and sharing of test
result data with FSIS.
The previous OMB approval for this
collection was for 206,000 burden
hours; however, the Agency will
eliminate a substantial number of
current SIP approvals with
implementation of the New Poultry
Inspection System. FSIS is asking OMB
to approve a renewal of this collection
with a reduction in burden of 152,224
hours.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: FSIS estimates
that it will take respondents an average
of 572 hours per response.
Respondents: Official slaughter
establishments that are under a waiver.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 94.
Estimated No. of Annual Responses
per Respondent: 650.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 53,776 hours.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Copies of this information collection
assessment can be obtained from Gina
Kouba, Paperwork Reduction Act
Coordinator, Food Safety and Inspection
Service, USDA, 1400 Independence
SW., Room 6077, South Building,
Washington, DC 20250, (202) 690–6510.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FSIS’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of FSIS’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (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, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques, or other forms of
information technology. Comments may
be sent to both FSIS, at the addresses
provided above, and the Desk Officer for

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: Economic Development
Administration.
Title: Revolving Loan Fund Reporting
and Compliance Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0610–0095.
Form Number(s): ED–209 and ED–
209–I.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,460.
Average Hours per Response: ED–209,
3 hours; and ED–209–I, 1 hour.
Burden Hours: 3,796.
Needs and Uses: The collection of
information is necessary pursuant to
Public Law 42 U.S.C. 3149. Specifically,
the purpose of the data collection is to
enable monitoring, evaluation, and use
of public funds in accordance with
fiduciary responsibilities of economic
development loans made to public and
non-profit organizations through EDA’s
Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) program.
Under the RLF program, EDA’s regional
offices award competitive grants to units
of state and local government,
institutions of higher education, public
or private non-profit organizations,
EDA-approved economic development
district organizations, and Indian Tribes
to establish RLFs. Following grant
award, an RLF grantee disburses money
from the RLF to make loans at interest
rates that are at or below the current
market rate to small businesses or to
businesses that cannot otherwise borrow
capital. The grantee uses a portion of
interest earned to pay administrative
expenses and adds the remaining
principal and interest repayments to the
RLF’s capital base to make new loans.
By law, EDA must exercise fiduciary
responsibility over its RLF portfolio in
perpetuity—a significant challenge
since many RLF grants date back to
1979.
EDA’s regulations therefore require
EDA RLF grantees to submit an ED–209,
Semi-Annual Report to EDA, every six
months. In addition, EDA RLF grantees
must submit an ED–209I, RLF Income
and Expense Statement, if either of the
following conditions applies to their
RLF: (a) Total administrative expenses
for the 6-month period exceed $100,000,
or (b) administrative expenses for the 6month period exceed 50 percent of RLF
income for the 6-month period.
Affected Public: Not for-profit
institutions; state or local governments.
Frequency: ED–209, semi-annually (6
Months); the ED–209–I, on occasion as
explained above.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
56337
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to OIRA_Submission@
omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395–5806.

decrease in sales or production of each
