monitor the grantees’ activities to ensure
that funds obtained from the
Government are used appropriately.
Objectives include gathering
information to identify the applicant,
describe the applicant’s experience and
expertise, describe the project and how
the applicant will operate it, and other
material necessary for prudent Agency
decisions and reasonable program
monitoring.

Maximum Dollar Amount on Awards
Under the Rural Economic
Development Loan and Grant Program
for Fiscal Year 2007; Correction
Rural Business-Cooperative
Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Rural BusinessCooperative Service (RBS) published a
document in the Federal Register of
Friday, December 8, 2006, [71 FR 71128]
concerning the announcement of the
maximum dollar amount under the
Rural Economic Development Loan and
Grant Program (REDLG). This document
announces the actual amount available
and the expanded eligibility
requirements.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cindy Mason, Loan Specialist, USDA
Rural Development, STOP 3225, Room
6866, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW.,
Washington, DC 20250–3225.
Telephone: (202) 690–1433, FAX: (202)
720–2213.
Additionally, the 2007 Appropriation
continued the REDLG eligibility
requirements implemented in FY 2006.
Therefore, an organization is considered
to be eligible to participate in the
REDLG program if it can be described
as:
1. Any former Rural Utilities Service
borrower that has repaid or prepaid an
insured, direct, or guaranteed loan
under the Rural Electrification Act;
2. Any not-for-profit utility that is
eligible to receive an insured or direct
loan under such act; or
3. Any borrower under such act.
The Regulations for these programs
are at 7 CFR part 1703, subpart B. The
maximum loan and grant awards are
determined in accordance with 7 CFR
1703.28. The maximum loan and grant
awards are calculated at 3.0 percent of
the projected program levels, rounded to
the nearest $10,000; however, as
specified in 7 CFR 1703.28(b),
regardless of the projected total amount
that will be available, the maximum size
may not be lower than $200,000. The
projected program level during FY 2007
for zero-interest loans is $25,215,484.47,
and the projected level for grants is
$10,000,000. Applying the 3.0 percent
to the program level for loans, rounded
to the nearest $10,000, results in a
projected maximum loan award of
$740,000. Applying the specified 3.0
percent to the program level for grants
results in an amount higher than
$200,000. Therefore, the projected grant
award for FY 2007 is $300,000.
Dated: May 1, 2007.

Correction
In the Federal Register of December 8,
2006, in FR Doc. E6–20871, on page
71128, in the third column, correct the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION caption to
read: RBS published a Notice of Funds
Availability (NOFA) on December 8,
2006. Based on the Revised Continuing
Appropriations Resolution, 2007 (2007
Appropriation), (Public Law 110–5), the
total amount available for zero-interest
loans is $24,752,477. As stated in the
NOFA, the maximum loan and grant
awards pursuant to 7 CFR 1703.28 is 3.0
percent of the program level rounded to
the nearest $10,000, but no less than
$200,000. Thus, the maximum dollar
amount available per loan is $740,000.
Total amount available for grants is
$10,000,000. Thus, the maximum
amount available per grant is $300,000.

Average Hours Per Response: 6
minutes.
Needs and Uses: This collection of
information is necessary to allow
Investigators to make the appropriate
corrections to relate the radioactivity
measured to the content in the volunteer
at the time of the measurement. The
project will evaluate the system’s
response to a variety of body geometries,
and relate the system’s response to
handheld in vivo gamma-ray detectors
readings that would be used during
radiological emergency response.
Physical parameters of the volunteers
such as height, weight will be needed to
assess the correlation with counting
response that is expected to have
uncertainties as large as 50 percent. It is
an objective of the project to provide
guidance to the radiological
consequence management community
to better be able to estimate internal
contamination of exposed people, and
make decisions of their care.
Affected Public: Federal government,
and individual or households.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Title: International Buyer Program:
Application and Exhibitor Data Form.
Agency Form Number: ITA–4014P
and ITA–4102P.
OMB Number: 0625–0151.
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Burden Hours: 1,400.
Number of Respondents: 7,250.
Average Hours per Response: 3 hours
and 10 minutes.
Needs and Uses: The International
Trade Administration’s International
Buyer Program (IBP) encourages
international buyers to attend selected
domestic trade shows in high export
potential industries and to facilitate
contact between U.S. exhibitors and
foreign visitors. The program has been
successful, having substantially
increased the number of foreign visitors
attending these selected shows as
compared to the attendance when not
supported by the program. The number
of shows selected to the program
increased from 28 in FY 2001 to 32 in
FY 2004 and will increase to 36 in 2007.
Among the criteria used to select these
shows are: Protection of intellectual
property rights, export potential,
international interest, scope of show,
stature of show, exhibitor interest,
overseas marketing, logistics, and
cooperation of show organizers. Form
ITA–4014P, Exhibitor Data, is used to
determine which U.S. firms are
interested in meeting with international
business visitors and the overseas
business interest of the exhibitors. The
exhibitor data form is completed by U.S.
exhibitors participating in an IBP
domestic trade show and is used to list
the firm and its U.S.-made products in
an Export Interest Directory, which is
distributed worldwide for use by
Foreign Commercial Officers in
recruiting delegations of international
buyers to attend the show. The Form
ITA–4102P, Application, is used by a
potential show organizer to provide (1)
his/her experience, (2) ability to meet
the special conditions of the IBP, and (3)
information about the domestic trade
show such as the number of U.S.
exhibitors and the percentage of net
exhibit space occupied by U.S.
companies vis-a-vis non-U.S. exhibitors.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit organizations, and not-for-profit
institutions.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit, voluntary.
