Rural Housing Service
Title: 7 CFR Part 1924–A, Planning

Development.
OMB Control Number: 0575–0042.
Summary of Collection: The Rural
Housing Service (RHS) is the credit
agency for rural housing and
community development within the
Rural Development mission area of the
United States Department of
Agriculture. RHS offers a supervised
credit program to build modest housing
and essential community facilities in
rural areas. Section 501 of Title V of the
Housing Act of 1949, authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture to extend
financial assistance to construct,
improve, alter, repair, replace, or
rehabilitate dwellings, farm buildings
and/or related facilities to provide
decent, safe sanitary living conditions
and adequate farm building and other
structures in rural areas.
Need and Use of the Information:
RHS provides several forms to assist in
the collection and submission of
information. The information will be
used to determine whether a loan/grant
can be approved; to ensure that RHS has
adequate security for the loans financed;
to monitor compliance with the terms
and conditions of the agency loan/grant
and to monitor the prudent use of
Federal funds. If the information is not
collected and submitted, RHS would
have no control over the type and
quality of construction and
development work planned and
performed with Federal funds.

Individuals or Households; Business or
Other For-Profit; Not-For-Profit

Tribal Government.

graduate their direct loan borrowers to
other credit when they are able to do so.
Graduation is an integral part of Agency
lending, as Government loans beyond a
borrower’s need for subsidized rates of
non-market terms. The notes, security
instruments, or loan agreements of most
borrowers require borrowers to
refinance their Agency loans when other
credit becomes available at reasonable
rates and terns. If the borrower finds
other credit is not available at
reasonable rates and terms, the Agency
will continue to review the borrower for
possible graduation at periodic
intervals. Information will be collected
from the borrowers concerning their
loans.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information submitted by RBS and RHS
borrowers to Agency offices is used to
graduate direct borrowers to private
credit with or without the use of Agency
loan guarantees. The data collected will
include financial information such as
income, farm operating expenses, asset
values, and liabilities.
Description of Respondents: Farms;
Business or Other for-Profit.

with Section 412 of the Plant Protection
Act (Title IV, Pub. L. 106–224, 114 Stat.
438, 7 U.S.C. 7712), the Secretary of
Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or
restrict the importation, entry,
exportation, or movement of interstate
commerce of any plant, plant product,
biological control organism, noxious
weed, article, or means of conveyance,
if the Secretary determines that the

APHIS will collect information to
evaluate the risk associated with the
interstate movement of plant pest,
noxious weeds, and soil. APHIS will
also collect information to monitor

Animal Plant and Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Live Swine Pork
and Pork Products and Swine Semen
from the European Union,
OMB Control Number: 0579–0218,
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is
the primary Federal law governing the
protection of health of animals under
APHIS’ regulatory authority. The Law
gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad
authority to detect, control, or eradicate
pests or diseases of livestock or poultry.
The Animal Plant and Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) conducts disease
prevention activities in accordance with
regulations in Title 9, Chapter 1,
Subchapter D, Parts 91 through 99, of
the Code of Federal Regulations. These
regulations govern the importation of
animals, birds, and poultry products,
and animal germplasm. Under these
regulations, certain regions of the
European Union are allowed to export
into the United States live breeding
swine, pork, and pork products and
swine semen.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information
concerning the origin and history of the
items destined for importation into the
United States. APHIS will also collect
information to ensure that swine, pork
and pork products, and swine semen
pose a negligible risk of introducing
exotic swine diseases into the United
States. If the information is not collected
it would cripple APHIS ability to ensure
that swine, pork and pork products, and
swine semen pose a minimal risk of
introducing classical swine fever and
other exotic animal disease into the
United States.

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: Food and Nutrition Service
Evaluation of the Fresh Fruit and

OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Food,
Conservation and Energy Act of 2008
(the Farm Bill) (Pub. L. 110–246)

directed the Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS) to conduct an evaluation resulting
in a report to Congress in September

2011. The FFVP administered by FNS
has the broad goal of fighting childhood
obesity and improving overall diet
quality by teaching children healthier
eating habits. Increased consumption of
fruits and vegetables has been found to
reduce long-term obesity risk. Specific
objectives of the FFVP are: To create
healthier school environments by
providing healthier food choices; to
expand the variety of fruits and
vegetables children experience; to
increase children’s fruit and vegetable
consumption; and to make a difference
in children’s diets to impact their
present and future health.
Need and Use of the Information: The
evaluation of the FFVP has two main
objectives: (1) To examine how the
FFVP is currently being implemented,
and (2) to estimate program impacts on
participating students. To address these
objectives, FNS has 36 research
questions that will be grouped into six
broad research categories for the
evaluation. The information gathered in
the data collection activities will be
used by FNS to determine if students at
FFVP schools have higher fresh fruits
and vegetable consumption than
students at non-participating schools,
and whether FFVP induced other
dietary changes such as decreased
consumption of less nutritious foods
among students.
