Title: Direct Single Family Housing
Loan and Grant Program, 7 CFR 3550,
HB–1–3550, HB–2–3550.
OMB Control Number: 0575–0172.
Summary of Collection: The Rural
Housing Service (RHS) is a credit
agency for rural housing and
community development within the
Rural Development mission area of the
Department of Agriculture. Section 501
of Title V of the Housing Act of 1949,
as amended, authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to administer such programs
and to prescribe regulations to ensure
that these loans and grants provided
with Federal Funds are made to eligible
applicants for authorized purposes, and
that subsequent servicing and benefits
provided to borrowers are consistent
with the authorizing statute. RHS offers
a supervised credit program to extend
financial assistance to construct,
improve, alter, repair, replace or
rehabilitate dwellings, which will
provide modest, decent, safe, and
sanitary housing to eligible individuals
living in rural areas. To assist
individuals in obtaining affordable
housing, a borrower’s house payment
may be subsidized to an interest rate as
low as 1%. The information requested
by RHS is vital to be able to process
applications for RHS assistance and
make prudent credit and program
decisions. RHS will collect information
using several forms.

program eligibility requirements;
continued eligibility requirements for
borrower assistance; servicing of loans;
eligibility for special servicing
assistance such as: Payment subsidies,
moratorium (stop) on payments,
delinquency workout agreements;
liquidation of loans; and, debt
settlement. The information is used to
ensure that the direct Single Family
Housing Programs are administered in a
manner consistent with legislative and
administrative requirements. Without

determine if a borrower would qualify
for services or if assistance has been

Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Federal Recognized State
Managed Phytosanitary Program
(formerly Official Control Program).
OMB Control Number: 0579–0365.
Summary of Collection: Under the
Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–
7772), the Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to prohibit or restrict the
importation, entry, or movement of
plants and plant pests to prevent the
introduction of plant pests into the
United States or their dissemination
within the United States. The Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS), Plant Protection and
Quarantine (PPQ) program has
established the following procedures for
State (through the National Plant Board
(NPB)) to petition the Agency to
recognize State-level plant pest
regulations and associated action taken
as meeting the international criteria for
official control and accepted measures
to protect an area that would be
economically or environmentally
endangered by the introduction of a
pest. The International Plant Protection
Convention (IPPC) defines ‘‘official
control’’ as the active enforcement of
mandatory phytosanitary regulations
and the application of mandatory
phytosanitary procedures with the
objective of eradication or containment
of quarantine pests or for the
management of regulated nonquarantine pests.
Need and Use of the Information: To
obtain a program’s designation as a
Federally Recognized State managed
Phytosanitary Program, States (through
the NPB) must petition APHIS–PPQ to
recognize their established or proposed
programs to exclude, eradicate or
contain a regulated plant pest. The State
should provide the following supporting
information and documentation: (1)
Evidence the pest does not exist in the
State; (2) Evidence that the pest could
become established or widespread in
the State; (3) Evidence that the pest
could cause economic and/or

environmental harm in the State; (4) A
description of the State actions used to
maintain and monitor for pest freedom;
and (5) A copy of the State or local
quarantine regulations that provide
enforcement of the appropriate
programs. The State should provide the
following supporting information and
documentation for Regulated NonQuarantine Pests: (1) Evidence that a
particular pest could cause significant
harm to plant for planting if the pest
was not managed through a certification
program; (2) Evidence the State has
regulatory authority and a program
established to manage the levels of the
pest in plants for planting that are the
hosts for the pest; and (3) A description
of State actions to manage the level and
or producers’ management of pests in
the plants for planting where the pest is
maintained below a level that can affect
production, health, or marketability of
plants for planting. Without the
information, APHIS would be less
effective in establishing procedures that
are used to contain regulated plant pests
within the United States.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 53.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.

Summary of Collection: The Food
Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has
been delegated the authority to exercise

Act (FMIA) (21 U. S.C. 601 et. seq.), the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)
(21 U.S.C. 451, et. seq.), and the Egg
Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21
U.S.C. 1031). These statues mandate
that FSIS protect the public by verifying
that meat and, poultry products are safe,
wholesome, not adulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged. If FSIS
in-plant personnel discover
noncompliance with regulatory
requirements they issue Noncompliance
Records (NRs). The Noncompliance
Record, FSIS Form 5400–4, serves as
FSIS’ official record of noncompliance
with one or more regulatory
requirements.
Need and Use of the Information:
FSIS will use the form 5400–4 to
document their findings and provided
written notification of the
establishment’s failure to comply with
regulatory requirement(s). The
establishment management receives a
copy of the form and has the
opportunity to respond in writing using
the Noncompliance Record form.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 6,800.

7701-7772), the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to prohibit or
restrict the importation, entry, or movement of plants and plant pests
to prevent the introduction of plant pests into the United States or

(through the National Plant Board (NPB)) to petition the Agency to
recognize State-level plant pest regulations and associated action
taken as meeting the international criteria for official control and
accepted measures to protect an area that would be economically or

description of State actions to manage the level and or producers'
management of pests in the plants for planting where the pest is
maintained below a level that can affect production, health, or
marketability of plants for planting. Without the information, APHIS
would be less effective in establishing procedures that are used to
contain regulated plant pests within the United States.
