In an interim rule published in the Federal Register on August 1, 2006, we amended the citrus canker regulations to list the entire State of Florida as a quarantined area for citrus canker and to amend the requirements for the movement of regulated articles from Florida now that the eradication of citrus canker in Florida is no longer being carried out as an objective. We also amended the regulations to allow regulated articles that would not otherwise be eligible for interstate movement to be moved to a port for immediate export.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Forest Service is seeking comments from all interested individuals and organizations on the extension of a currently approved information collection, Timber Purchaser Cost and Sales Data.

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this document announces that an Information Collection Request (ICR) has been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval.

Currently, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (the Fund) of the Department of the Treasury is soliciting comments concerning a voluntary information collection effort involving all Fund Programs. The specific information collection relates to the voluntary collection of narrative descriptions of projects financed by Fund awardees and allocatees in response to the public's request for better and more narrative information on impact and best practices associated with all of the Fund's Programs. The purpose is to more fully describe and record the innovative approaches community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and community development entities (CDEs) use in revitalizing communities and serving families. Fund awardees and allocatees will be invited to submit narratives on one or more projects that they believe demonstrate best practices or high impact. The project description may be for a project previously reported to the Fund through the Community Investment Impact System (CIIS) or for a new project that has not yet been reported in CIIS. The Fund plans to use the descriptions in Fund publications and on the Fund's Web site to highlight the work of its awardees and allocatees.
