Title: 7 CFR part 1738, Rural
Broadband Loans and Loan Guarantee
Program.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0130.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service
(RUS) is authorized by Title VI, Rural
Broadband Access, of the Rural
Electrification Act of 1936, as amended
(RE Act), to provide loans and loan
guarantees to fund the cost of
construction, improvement, or
acquisition of facilities and equipment
for the provision of broadband service
in eligible rural communities in States
and Territories of the United States. The
term of the loans is based on the
expected composite economic life based
on the depreciation of the facilities
financed. The term of the loan can be as
high as 25 years or even longer. In the
interest of protecting loan security and
accomplishing the statutory objective of
a sound program of rural broadband
service access, Title VI of the RE Act
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. The items covered by
this collection include forms and related
documentation to support a loan
application, including Form 532 and
supporting documentation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 17, 2014, notice was published
in the Federal Register (79 FR 3180)
that a request for a permit to conduct
research on marine mammals parts had
been submitted by the above-named
applicant. The requested permit has
been issued under the authority of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the
regulations governing the taking and
importing of marine mammals (50 CFR
part 216), the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.), the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50

Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1151
et seq.).
The permit authorizes Dr. Ketten to
annually collect, receive, import and
export biological samples from 20
individual cetaceans and 20 individual
pinnipeds of each species under NMFS
jurisdiction. The purpose of the research
is to study marine mammal hearing
including calculating hearing frequency
distributions, determining how marine
mammal ears withstand pressure
changes, and understanding how
underwater noise affects marine
mammal hearing. No takes of live
animals, direct or indirect, are

In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
