filing system are also identified through
the GIPSA web site. The Louisiana
central filing system covers all farm
products.
We originally certified the central
filing system for Louisiana on December
30, 1986. On July 22, 2004, Janice
Newton, Commercial Division Manager,
Office of Secretary of State, Louisiana,
requested the certification be amended
to make changes related to electronic
filing, effective filing statement content,
and central filing system procedure
necessitated or made possible by
amendments to Section 1324 of the
Food Security Act, which, among other
things, permit effective financing
statements to be signed, authorized, or
otherwise authenticated. Specifically,
the following changes were requested:
(1) The creditor, or his agent, file
effective financing statements without
signature by the debtor and secured
party;
(2) Format and provide the names of
individual debtor as required on the
UCC–1F filing form, and in the case of
an organization, use full legal names,
and enter names exactly as provided by
the filer;
(3) Use the farm number established
by the Farm Service Agency of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture as a
reasonable description of the property
as an alternative to requiring the
description include the farm name or
general location;
(4) Amend effective financing
statements in writing, signed,
authorized, or otherwise authenticated
by the debtor and filed within 3 months
of the amendment to reflect material
changes;
(5) Effective financing statements
expire on either the expiration of the
effective period of the statement or the
filing of a notice authorized or
otherwise authenticated by the creditor
that the statement has expired,
whichever occurs first; and
(6) No longer require the signature of
the debtor or of the secured party for
filing any effective financing statement,
including continuations, assignments,
partial releases, terminations, or other
similar statement filed.
This notice announces our approval
of the amended certification for
Louisiana’s central filing system in
accordance with the request to amend
signature and property description
requirements.
Effective Date
This notice is effective upon signature
for good cause because it increases the
flexibility in which effective filing
statements may be authorized and
authenticated, in addition, it allows a

changes to the certification of approved
central filing systems does not require
public notice. Therefore, this notice may
be made effective in less than 30 days
after publication in the Federal Register
without prior notice or other public
procedure.

Abstract: RBS is part of the Rural
Development mission area of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. RBS
administers the Rural Economic
Development Loan and Grant Program
(REDLG), which provides zero-interest
loans and grants to Rural Utilities
Service (RUS) borrowers for the purpose
of promoting rural economic
development and job creation projects.
The loans and grants under the REDLG
program may be provided to
approximately 1,700 electric and
telecommunication utilities across the
country that have borrowed funds from
RUS. Under this program, the RUS
borrowers may receive the loan funds
and pass them on to businesses or other
organizations. The RUS borrower is
responsible for the loan even if it does
not receive payments from the ultimate
recipient. Grants may be provided to
RUS borrowers to establish revolving
loan funds.
RBS needs to receive the information
contained in this collection of
information to select the projects it
believes will provide the most longterm, economic benefit to rural areas.
The selection process is competitive,
and RBS has generally received more
applications that it could fund. RBS also
needs to make sure the funds are used
for the intended purpose and, in the
case of the loan, that the funds will be
repaid. RBS must determine that loans
made from revolving loan funds
established with grants are used for
eligible purposes.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 2.25 hours per
response.
Respondents: RUS borrowers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
120.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
1,996.
Estimated Number of Hours per
Response: 2.25.
Estimated Total Hours: 4,481.90
hours.

of the functions of RBS, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of RBS
estimate of the burden of the proposed
