SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: (7 CFR part 766) Farm Loan
Programs—Direct Loan ServicingSpecial.
OMB Number: 0560–0233.
Expiration Date: 01/31/2014.
Type of Request: Revision.
Abstract: FSA is revising a currently
approved information collection to add
two new forms which would allow
certain borrowers to: (1) Request a new
notification of loan servicing options
available; and (2) complete a new loan
servicing application.
FSA’s Farm Loan Programs provide
loans to family farmers to purchase real
estate and equipment and finance
agricultural production. Direct Loan
Servicing—Special, as specified in 7
CFR part 766, provides the requirements
for servicing financially distressed and
delinquent direct loan borrowers. FSA’s
loan servicing options include disaster
set-aside, primary loan servicing
(including reamortization, rescheduling,
deferral, write down and conservation
contracts), buyout at market value, and
homestead protection. FSA also services
borrowers who file bankruptcy or
liquidate security when servicing
options are not available or are
insufficient to produce a feasible plan.
The information collections contained
in the regulation are necessary to
evaluate a borrower’s request for
consideration of the special servicing
actions.
Respondents: Individuals or
households, businesses or other for
profit farms.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 14,929.
Estimated Number of Reponses per
Respondent: 1.
Total Annual Responses: 27,905.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 15,832.
We are requesting comments on all
aspects of this information collection
and to help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
FSA, including whether the information
will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the FSA’s
estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Availability of Current Assessment
Methods Determination Document
Commodity Credit Corporation
and Farm Service Agency, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of availability of
determinations.
AGENCY:
The Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC) is making available a
document regarding two consolidated
determinations with respect to the
current methods used to calculate
manufacturer and importer assessments
that fund the Tobacco Transition
Payment Program (TTPP). It is in
response to challenges raised in two
lawsuits—Prime Time International Co.
v. Vilsack et al. and Philip Morris USA
Inc. v. Vilsack et al.—involving the
terms and construction of the Fair and
Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 2004
(FETRA). Both matters involve the
question of what is a ‘‘share of gross
domestic volume’’ within the meaning
of FETRA and the question of what is
to be done with those ‘‘shares’’ in
calculating program liabilities. Because
the outcomes of these two lawsuits have
the potential to affect not only the
plaintiffs, but also all other importers
and manufacturers, public availability
of a USDA determination is warranted.
