Title:
Application for Authorization to Use the
4–H Club Name and/or Emblem.
OMB Number: 0524–0034.
Expiration Date of Approval: March
31, 2006.
Type of Request: Intent to request
approval to extend an information
collection.
Abstract: Use of the 4–H Club Name
and/or Emblem is authorized by an Act
of Congress (18 U.S.C. 707). Use of the
4–H Club Name and/or Emblem by
anyone other than 4–H Clubs and those
duly authorized by them,
representatives of the United States
Department of Agriculture, the landgrant colleges and universities, and
persons authorized by the Secretary of
Agriculture is prohibited by the
provisions of 18 U.S.C. 707. The
Secretary of Agriculture has delegated
authority to the Administrator of
CSREES to authorize others to use the
4–H Club Name and Emblem. The
Administrator has promulgated
regulations at 7 CFR part 8 that govern
such use. The regulatory requirements
for use of the 4–H Club Name and/or
Emblem reflect the high standards of 4–
H and its educational goals and
objectives. Pursuant to provisions of 7
CFR part 8 anyone requesting
authorization from the Administrator to
use the 4–H Club Name and Emblem is
asked to describe the proposed use in a
formal application. The collection of
this information is used to determine
whether the applicant’s proposed use
will meet the regulatory requirements in
7 CFR part 8 and whether an
authorization for use should be granted.
Need and Use of the Information:
CSREES will collect information on the
name of the individual, partnership,
corporation, or association; the
organizational address; the name of an
authorized representative; the telephone
number, facsimile number, and e-mail
address; the proposed use of the 4–H
Club Name and/or Emblem; and the
plan for sale or distribution of the
product bearing the 4–H Club Name
and/or Emblem. The information
collected by CSREES will be used to
determine if those applying to use the
4–H Name and/or Emblem meet the
regulatory requirements. If the
information is not collected, it would
not be possible to ensure that the
products, services, and materials meet
the regulatory requirements as well as
4–H educational goals and objectives.
Estimate of Burden: No changes have
been proposed to this collection and the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

or not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:

Respondents: 60 hours.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(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

Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Docket 21–2005]
Foreign-Trade Zone 105—North
Kingstown, RI; Request for
Manufacturing Authority; Southeastern
New England Shipbuilding Corporation
(Shipbuilding)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Rhode Island Economic
Development Corporation (RIEDC),
grantee of FTZ 105, pursuant to Section
400.28(a)(2) of the Board’s regulations
(15 CFR Part 400), requesting authority
on behalf of Southeastern New England
Shipbuilding Corporation (Senesco) to
construct and repair oceangoing vessels
under FTZ procedures within FTZ 105.
It was formally filed on May 16, 2005.
The Senesco shipyard (450
employees, 31 acres, capacity: up to 4
vessels/year) is located at 10 MacNaught
Street within the Quonset Business Park
(FTZ Site 2), in North Kingstown, Rhode
Island. Under FTZ procedures, Senesco
would construct and repair tugboats
(HTSUS 8901.90), double-hulled liquid
barges (HTSUS 8901.20) and
articulating tug barges for domestic and
international customers. Foreign
components that would be used at the
shipyard (up to 30% of total purchases)
include: diesel engines (HTSUS
8408.10), stern tubes (8483.30),
reduction gears (8483.40), shaft
grounding systems and seals (8483.90),
generators (8501.62, 8501.63), overfill
alarms (8531.90), tank washing
machines (8537.10), valve remote
operators (8537.10), tank gauging
systems (8537.10), and ACCU
automation/steering systems (8537.10)
(duty rates: 1.3–4.5%). The request
indicates that Senesco will not admit
any foreign-origin steel mill products to
the zone for use in FTZ manufacturing
activity.
FTZ procedures would exempt
Senesco from Customs duty payments
on the foreign components (except steel
mill products) used in export activity.
On its domestic sales, the company
would be able to choose the duty rate
that applies to finished oceangoing
vessels (duty free) for the foreign-origin
components noted above. Duties would
be deferred or reduced on foreign
