Rural Housing Service
Title: 7 CFR Part 1924–F, Complaints
and Compensation Defects.
OMB Control Number: 0575–0082.
Summary of Collection: Section 509C
of Title V of the Housing Act of 1949,
as amended, authorizes the Rural
Housing Service (RHS) to pay the costs
for correcting defects or compensate
borrowers of Section 502 Direct loan
funds for expenses arising out of defects
with respect to newly constructed
dwellings and new manufactured
housing units with authorized funds.
This regulation provides instruction to
all RHS personnel to enable them to
implement a procedure to accept and
process complaints from borrowers/
owners against builders and dealers/
contractors, to resolve the complaint
E:\FR\FM\18FEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 32 / Thursday, February 18, 2010 / Notices
informally. When the complaint
involves structural defects which cannot
be resolved by the cooperation of the
builder or dealer/contractor, it
authorizes expenditure to resolve the
defect with grant funds. Resolution
could involve expenditure for (1)
repairing defects; (2) reimbursing for
emergency repairs; (3) pay temporary
living expenses or (4) convey dwelling
to RHS with release of liability for the
RHS loan.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information is collected from agency
borrowers and the local agency office
serving the county in which the
dwelling is located. This information is
used by Rural Housing Staff to evaluate
the request and assist the borrower in
identifying possible causes and
corrective actions. The information is
collected on a case-by-case basis when
initiated by the borrower. Without this
information, RHS would be unable to
assure that eligible borrowers would
receive compensation to repair defects
to their newly constructed dwellings.
Description of Respondents: Business
or for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 300.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 120.

Rural Housing Service
Title: 7 CFR Part 1940–G,
Environmental Program.
OMB Control Number: 0575–0094.
Summary of Collection: The National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
requires Federal agencies prior to the
approval of proposed actions to
consider the potential environmental
impacts of these actions. Consequently,
for the agencies to comply with NEPA,
it is necessary to have information on
the types of environmental resources on
site or in the vicinity that might impact
the proposed action. Also, information
is required on the nature of the project
selected by the applicant.
Need and Use of the Information: The
agency will collect environmental data
using form RD 1940–20, Request for
Environmental Information. Having all
activities and environmental
information on the proposed project site
will enable the Agency official to
determine the magnitude of the
potential environmental impacts and
whether the project is controversial for
environmental reasons. The agency’s
failure to collect the environmental
information would result in a violation
of NEPA. Thus, the agency would have
no basis to support a decision regarding
the need for an environmental impact
statement.

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Unshu Oranges
from the Republic of Korea into Alaska.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0314.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701—et
seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to carry out operation or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests new to the United States or
not known to be widely distributed
throughout the United States. The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) amended the
regulations governing the importation of
citrus fruit to allow fresh Unshu oranges
from the Republic of Korea to be
imported in the State of Alaska under
certain conditions.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS requires that some plants or
plant products are accompanied by a
phytosanitary inspection certificate that
is completed by plant health officials in
the originating or transiting country.
Also, individual boxes in which oranges
are shipped must be stamped or printed
with the following: ‘‘For importation
into and distribution within the State of
Alaska only.’’ APHIS uses the
information on the certificate to
determine the pest condition of the
shipment at the time of inspection in
the intensity of the inspection APHIS
conducts when the shipment arrives.
Without this information, all shipments
would need to be inspected very
thoroughly, thereby requiring
considerably more time. This would
slow the clearance of international
shipments.
Description of Respondents: Not-forprofit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 5.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 31.
