the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Rural Utilities Service
Title: 7 CFR Part 1744, Subpart B,
Lien Accommodations and
Subordination Policy.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0126.
Summary of Collection: The Rural
Utilities Service (RUS) is a credit agency
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA). It makes mortgage loans and
loan guarantees to finance electric,
telecommunications, and water and
waste facilities in rural areas. The
Telecommunications Act of 1996
mandates that universally available and
affordable telecommunications services,
including advanced services, be made
available to all U.S. citizens—weather in
rural areas or city centers, affluent, or
poor communities. In support of this
mandate, RUS is amending its
regulation to ensure that, with the
assistance of advanced
telecommunications technology, rural
citizens be provided the same economic,
educational, and health care benefits
available in the large metropolitan areas.
Need and Use of the Information:
This regulation will help RUS facilitate
funding from non-RUS sources in order
to meet the growing capital needs of
rural Local Exchange Carriers and
enable the providers to compete in an
expanding number of
telecommunications services. RUS will
use the information to provide
‘‘automatic’’ approval for borrowers
requesting lien accommodations that
meet the required financial tests. These
tests are designed to ensure that the
financial strength of the borrower is
more than sufficient to protect the
government’s loan security interests;
hence, the lien accommodations will
not adversely affect the government’s
financial interests.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; not-for-profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents: 30.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 23.
Rural Utilities Service
Title: Electric System Emergency
Restoration Plan.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0140.
Summary of Collection: Electric
power systems have been identified in
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Presidential Decision Directive 63, May
1998, as one of the critical
infrastructures of the United States. The
term ‘‘critical infrastructure’’ is defined
in section 1016(e) of the USA Patriot
Act of 2001 (42 U.S.C. 5195c(e)). To
ensure that the electric infrastructure in
rural America is adequately protected,
Rural Utilities Service requires that all
current electric borrowers enhance an
existing Emergency Restoration Plan
(ERP) or, if none exists, develop and
maintain an ERP.
Need and Use of the Information:
Rural Development Utilities Programs
(RDUP) requires that all current electric
borrowers conduct a Vulnerability and
Risk Assessment (VRA) of its respective
systems and utilize the results of this
assessment to enhance an existing ERP
or create an ERP if none exists. The ERP
provides written procedures detailing
response and restoration efforts in the
event of a major system outage resulting
from a natural or man made disaster.
RDUP requires each electric borrower to
provide annually a self-certification, in
writing, that an ERP exists and that an
initial VRA has been performed. If this
information were not collected,
vulnerabilities may exist in the electric
system infrastructure. The result would
be increased risk to public safety and
may affect the Government loan
security.
Description of Respondents: Not-forprofit institutions; business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 676.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 338.

Agreement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Mt. Hood National Forest
(Forest) in coordination with the City of
Portland Water Bureau (City) has
prepared a new Bull Run Watershed
Management Unit Agreement pursuant
to Public Law 95–200, section 2(d). This
Agreement will guide and be applicable
to all occupancy, use, and management
of the Bull Run Watershed Management
Unit by the City and the Forest. This
Agreement replaces the 1979
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
This new Agreement provides the
revised administrative direction and
agreements needed to structure the
parties’ roles, responsibilities, business

processes, and working relationships for
the coming decades. The Agreement
was approved on December 17, 2007. A
copy of the Final Agreement is available
on the following Internet Web sites,
https://www.fs.fed.us/r6/mthood under

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the Agreement or
requests for copies should be directed to
Rick Acosta, Mt. Hood National Forest,
Public Affairs Officer, 16400 Champion
Way, Sandy, Oregon 97055–7248,
(e-mail: racosta@fs.fed.us), or phone:

Portland Water Bureau, Outreach
Specialist, 1120 SW., 5th Avenue,
Portland, OR 97204, (e-mail:
Terry.Black@ci.portland.or.us), or
phone: 503–823–1168.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bull
Run watershed, located in the Mt. Hood
National Forest, is the largest and oldest
of the several water supplies serving the
Portland metropolitan area. Its role in
the region’s past, present and future,
along with its unprecedented level of
water quality, make it a high priority for
both the City and the Forest Service to
take the steps necessary to ensure its
continuing quality, productivity and
protection.
As the City and the Forest Service
began to look closely at the
administrative and policy frameworks
that guided their interactions they noted
that much of that framework dated from
the late 1970s and arose from the
direction provided in the 1977 Bull Run
Management Act (Pub. L. 95–200). As
little of that framework had been
updated over time, its applicability to
current issues and needs is limited.
Thus, this new agreement replaces the
1979 MOU, aligns practice with existing
legislation, and provides the revised
administrative direction and agreements
needed to structure the parties’ roles,
responsibilities, business processes, and
working relationships for the coming
decades.
The City and the Forest Service, along
with community interests in the greater
Portland metropolitan area, have had a
long and sometimes contentious history
of working together to protect and
manage the valuable ecological and
water resources of the Bull Run
watershed. But with the coming of the
21st century, the issues and conflicts in
policy and direction that held attention
for the last fifty years have all but
disappeared. Now, the parties are
turning to the future, responding to new
