Title: Request for Release of Lien and/
or Approval of Sale.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0041.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service
(RUS) makes mortgage loans and loan
guarantees to electric and
telecommunications systems to provide
and improve electric and
telecommunications service in rural
areas pursuant to the Rural
Electrification Act of 1936, as amended
(7 U.S.C. 901 et seq,) (RE Act). All
current and future capital assets of RUS
borrowers are ordinarily mortgaged or
pledged to the Federal Government as
security for RUS loans. Assets include
tangible and intangible utility plant,
non-utility property, construction in
progress, and materials, supplies, and
equipment normally used in a
telecommunications system. The RE Act
and the various security instruments,
e.g., the RUS mortgage, limit the rights
of a RUS borrower to dispose of its
capital assets. The RUS Form 793,
Request for Release of Lien and/or
Approval of Sale, allows the
telecommunications program borrower
to seek agency permission to sell some
of its assets. The form collects detailed
information regarding the proposed sale
of a portion of the borrower’s system.
RUS telecommunications borrowers fill
out the form to request RUS approval in
order to sell capital assets.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 2.75 hours per
response.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit; not-for-profit organizations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Importation of Unshu Oranges from the

OMB Number: 0579–0314.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act
(PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes
the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict
the importation, entry, or interstate
movement of plants, plant products, and
other articles to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States. As authorized
by the PPA, APHIS regulates the
importation of citrus fruit from certain
parts of the world as provided in
‘‘Subpart—Citrus Fruit’’ (7 CFR 319.28).
In accordance with these regulations,
unshu oranges from the Republic of
Korea may be imported into Alaska only
under certain conditions to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States. These conditions involve
the use of information collection
activities, including a phytosanitary
certificate with an additional
declaration statement and box labeling.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for an additional 3
years.
