Rural Utilities Service
Title: 7 CFR Part 1726, Electric
System Construction Policies and
Procedures—Electric.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0107.
Summary of Collection: The Rural
Electrification Act of 1936, 7 U.S.C. 901
et.seq., as amended, (RE ACT) in
Section 4 (7 U.S.C. 904) authorizes and
empowers the Administrator of the
Rural Utilities Service (RUS) to make
loans in the several States and
Territories of the United States for rural
electrification and the furnishing and
improving of electric energy to persons
in rural areas. These loans are for a term
of up to 35 years and are secured by a
first mortgage on the borrower’s electric
system. In the interest of protecting loan
security and accomplishing the
statutory objective of a sound program
of rural electrification, Section 4 of the
RE Act further requires that RUS make
or guarantee a loan only if there is
reasonable assurance that the loan,
together with all outstanding loans and
obligations of the borrower, will be
repaid in full within the time agreed.
RUS will collect information using
various RUS forms.
Need and Use of the Information:
RUS will collect information to
implement certain provisions of the
RUS standard form of loan documents
regarding the borrower’s purchase of

materials and equipment and the
construction of its electric system by
contract or force account. The
information will be used by RUS
electric borrowers, their contractors and
by RUS. If standard forms were not
used, borrowers would need to prepare
their own documents at a significant
expense; and each document submitted
by a borrower would require extensive
and costly review by both RUS and the
Office of the General Counsel.
Description of Respondents: Not-forprofit institutions; Business or other forprofit.

5. Display of Submissions and Public
Voting To Determine the Popular
Choice Winner in Each Category
Submissions will be posted on
Communities.Challenge.gov on a rolling
basis after being screened by the
Sponsor and Administrator for
eligibility, accuracy of messaging, and
compliance with all Submission
requirements described in Section 4.
Submissions will not be posted until the
completed Image Release Forms and
Copyright Release Form are received, as
described in Section 4b. All Contestants
will have equal access to Submissions
posted on the Web site. Non-Contestants
interested in the Challenge are also
encouraged to register on
Communities.Challenge.gov.
Registration will be required in order to
receive updates on the Challenge and to
vote on your favorite Submissions to
determine the Popular Choice winner.
The public voting will take place
between on or about February 11, 2012
at 10 a.m. EST and May 11, 2012 at 5
p.m. EDT.
Public voting will occur daily
throughout the Challenge Submission
Period. While Submissions will be
accepted at any time during the
Challenge Submission Period,
Contestants should be aware that as a
result of daily voting, earlier entered
Submissions may have a higher chance
of winning the popular choice award.
Each registered visitor is able to place
one vote per day. There will be one
Popular Choice award. In the event of a
tie, an internal panel will choose the
winner. Use of an automated process or
similar device to submit an electronic
vote is strictly prohibited. Any attempt
to circumvent the one vote limit per
VerDate Mar<15>2010
21:29 Feb 09, 2012
Jkt 226001
Submission per day or to use an
automated vote process will subject all
votes from the person to
disqualification. If a Contestant receives
multiple and/or irregular votes from the
same user or users, including but not
limited to votes generated by a robotic,
programmed, script, macro, other
automated means or other source, the
Sponsor and/or Administrator reserves
the right to disqualify the Contestant in
their sole discretion. If the voting
process fails to operate properly or
appears to be tampered with or tainted
with errors, fraud, or unfair practices,
the Sponsor and Administrator in their
sole discretion reserve the right to use
another means to determine the Popular
Choice winner (e.g., appointing a panel
of judges).
Contestants may not pay people or
provide any other type of consideration
in exchange for votes, and any
Contestant who violates this rule will be
disqualified. Public votes may be
displayed on the Challenge Web site, on
a real-time basis, before being verified
for integrity. These unverified votes do
not necessarily reflect accurately the
Popular Choice winner. The Popular
Choice winner will be the Contestant
who is contacted directly by the
Administrator or Sponsor after votes
have been verified. Sponsor reserves the
right to modify the voting period at any
time for any reason.
6. Judges and Winner Selection
A judging panel will be selected by
the Sponsor and consist of 5–9 experts,
all of whom will be Federal employees.
Judges will be from Let’s Move, USDA–
CNPP, USDA–CFBNP, and the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services Center for Faith-Based and
Neighborhood Partnerships. The judging
panel will judge the Submissions on the
criteria identified below to select the
First prize and Honorable Mention
winners. All judging will take place
between on or about April 16, 2012 at
10 a.m. EDT and on or about May 11,
2012 at 5 p.m. EST.

PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703

judges are encouraged to consult with
their designated agency ethics officer.
Odds of winning depend on the number

First Prize and Honorable Mention
Awards
The judging panel will evaluate each
Submission on the following three
criteria:
Quality of the Idea: Video must
convey at least one of the three Let’s
Move areas of interest: Healthy eating,
physical activity, and/or access to
healthy affordable food. Submissions
that connect to multiple areas of interest
are especially encouraged. The video

the mission of Let’s Move. The idea or
program highlighted in the video should
be creative, and should involve a
collective group effort focused on the
wellness of children. At some point in
the video Contestant’s must direct
viewers to www.letsmove.gov for more
information.
Communication of the Idea: Video
should include content that is
compelling and instructive. The video
should also offer clear visual and audio
quality, encourage team-building and
collaboration, and not compromise the
health or safety of the video
participants.
Potential Impact of the Idea: The idea
or program represented in the video
should be replicable by other entities,
and adaptable to a variety of settings

personal accounts (for example,
testimonials, success stories, or
individual reports) conveying how the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: PPQ Form 816; Contract Pilot
and Aircraft Acceptance.
OMB Number: 0579–0298.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7
U.S.C. 7701 et seq) authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture, either
independently or in cooperation with
States, to carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests and noxious weeds that are
new to or not widely distributed within
the United States. This authority has
been delegated to the Administrator,
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS).
As part of this mission, the Plant
Protection and Quarantine (PPQ)
program, APHIS, responds to
introductions of plant pests to eradicate,
suppress, or contain them through
various programs in cooperation with
State departments of agriculture and
other government agencies. These
programs may include release through
aerial application of treatments to
control plant pests.
APHIS contracts for these services,
and prior to any aerial applications,
requests certain information from the
contractor and/or contract pilots to
ensure that the work will be done
according to contract specifications.
Among other things, APHIS asks to see
aircraft registration, the aircraft’s
airworthiness certificate, the pilot’s
license, the pilot’s medical certification,
the pilot’s proof of flight review, the
pilot’s pesticide applicator’s license,
and the aircraft logbook. APHIS
transfers information from these
documents to PPQ Form 816, which is
then signed by the APHIS official
collecting the information and the
contractor or contract pilot, indicating
acceptance of the pilot and aircraft for
the job.

Submissions to determine the Popular Choice winner. The public voting
will take place between on or about February 11, 2012 at 10 a.m. EST
and May 11, 2012 at 5 p.m. EDT.
Public voting will occur daily throughout the Challenge Submission
Period. While Submissions will be accepted at any time during the
Challenge Submission Period, Contestants should be aware that as a
result of daily voting, earlier entered Submissions may have a higher
chance of winning the popular choice award.
Each registered visitor is able to place one vote per day. There
will be one Popular Choice award. In the event of a tie, an internal
panel will choose the winner. Use of an automated process or similar
device to submit an electronic vote is strictly prohibited. Any attempt
to circumvent the one vote limit per Submission per day or to use an
automated vote process will subject all votes from the person to
disqualification. If a Contestant receives multiple and/or irregular
votes from the same user or users, including but not limited to votes
generated by a robotic, programmed, script, macro, other automated
means or other source, the Sponsor and/or Administrator reserves the
right to disqualify the Contestant in their sole discretion. If the
voting process fails to operate properly or appears to be tampered with
or tainted with errors, fraud, or unfair practices, the Sponsor and
Administrator in their sole discretion reserve the right to use another
means to determine the Popular Choice winner (e.g., appointing a panel
of judges).
Contestants may not pay people or provide any other type of
consideration in exchange for votes, and any Contestant who violates
this rule will be disqualified. Public votes may be displayed on the
Challenge Web site, on a real-time basis, before being verified for
integrity. These unverified votes do not necessarily reflect accurately
the Popular Choice winner. The Popular Choice winner will be the
Contestant who is contacted directly by the Administrator or Sponsor
after votes have been verified. Sponsor reserves the right to modify
the voting period at any time for any reason.
6. Judges and Winner Selection
A judging panel will be selected by the Sponsor and consist of 5-9
experts, all of whom will be Federal employees. Judges will be from
Let's Move, USDA-CNPP, USDA-CFBNP, and the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood
Partnerships. The judging panel will judge the Submissions on the
criteria identified below to select the First prize and Honorable
Mention winners. All judging will take place between on or about April
16, 2012 at 10 a.m. EDT and on or about May 11, 2012 at 5 p.m. EST.
The following information details the commitment of judges:
Judges will be fair and impartial.
A judge may not have a personal or financial interest in,
or be an employee, officer, director, or agent of any entity that is a
Contestant in the Challenge. Nor may a judge be an immediate family
member of an officer, director, or agency of any entity that is a
Contestant in the Challenge.
Judges will fully comply with all applicable government
ethics requirements for Federal employees. If questions arise about the
applicability of or compliance with ethics requirements, judges are
encouraged to consult with their designated agency ethics officer.
Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible Submissions received
and the quality of Submissions. Odds of winning the popular choice
award may also be affected by the timing of entry.
First Prize and Honorable Mention Awards
The judging panel will evaluate each Submission on the following
three criteria:
Quality of the Idea: Video must convey at least one of the three
Let's Move areas of interest: Healthy eating, physical activity, and/or
access to healthy affordable food. Submissions that connect to multiple
areas of interest are especially encouraged. The video should also have
a clear connection to the mission of Let's Move. The idea or program
highlighted in the video should be creative, and should involve a
collective group effort focused on the wellness of children. At some
point in the video Contestant's must direct viewers to www.letsmove.gov
for more information.
Communication of the Idea: Video should include content that is
compelling and instructive. The video should also offer clear visual
and audio quality, encourage team-building and collaboration, and not
compromise the health or safety of the video participants.
Potential Impact of the Idea: The idea or program represented in
the video should be replicable by other entities, and adaptable to a
variety of settings and resource levels. The idea or program
represented in the video should be sustainable, and support positive
behaviors to reduce childhood obesity. The video should include
personal accounts (for example, testimonials, success stories, or
individual reports) conveying how the idea or program highlighted has
impacted health and wellness.
The eight (8) Contestants whose Submissions earn the highest and
second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth-highest
overall scores will win, respectively, First Prize and Honorable
Mention prizes identified below in Section 8. In the event of a tie,
winners will be selected based on the criteria described in (1), then
(2), and finally (3). If there is still a tie then the winner will be
selected based on a vote by the judging panel.
7. Verification of Potential Winners
All potential challenge winners are subject to verification by
sponsor and/or administrator whose decisions are final and binding in
all matters related to the
[[Page 7120]]
challenge. Potential winners must continue to comply with all terms and
conditions of these Official Rules, and winning is contingent upon
fulfilling all requirements. The potential winners will be notified by
email, telephone, or mail after the date of the judging. The potential
winners will be required to sign and return to Sponsor, within ten (10)
days of the date notice is sent, an Affidavit of Eligibility and
Liability/Publicity Release (except where prohibited) in order to claim
a prize. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted, fails
to sign and return the Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity
Release within the required time period (if applicable), or if the
prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the potential
winner forfeits prize. In the event that a potential winner of a
Challenge prize is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor may award the
applicable prize to the Contestant whose Submission earned the highest
score of the remaining of the eligible entries.
