Farm Service Agency
Title: Representations for CCC and
FSA Loans and Authorization to File a
Financing Statement and Related
Documents.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0215.
Summary of Collection: Commodity
Credit Corporation and the Farm Service
Agency (FSA) programs require loans be
secured with collateral. The security
interest is created and attaches to the
collateral when: (1) Value has been
given, (2) the debtor has rights in the
collateral or the power to transfer rights
in the collateral, and (3) the debtor has
authenticated a security agreement that
provides a description of the collateral.
In order to perfect the security interest
in collateral, a financing statement must
be filed according to a State’s Uniform
Commercial Code. The revised Article 9
of the Uniform Commercial Code deals
with secured transaction for personal
property. The revised Article 9 affects
the manner in which the CCC and FSA,
as well as any other creditor, perfect and
liquidate security interests in collateral.
Need and Use of the Information: FSA
will collect information using form
CCC–10. The information obtained on
CCC–10 is needed to not only obtain
authorization from loan applicants to
file a financing statement without their
signature, but also to verify the exact
legal name and location of the debtor. If
this information is not collected, CCC
and FSA will not be able to disburse
loans because a security interest would
not be perfected.
Description of Respondents: Farms;
Individuals or households; Business or
other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 2,868.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting;
On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 238.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
authority of the plant pest provisions of
the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701
et seq.), the regulations in 7 CFR part
340, ‘‘Introduction of Organisms and
Products Altered or Produced Through
Genetic Engineering Which Are Plant
Pests or Which There Is Reason to
Believe Are Plant Pests,’’ regulate,
among other things, the introduction
(importation, interstate movement, or
release into the environment) of
organisms and products altered or
produced through genetic engineering
that are plant pests or that there is
reason to believe are plant pests. Such
genetically engineered (GE) organisms
and products are considered ‘‘regulated
articles.’’
The regulations in § 340.6(a) provide
that any person may submit a petition
to the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) seeking a
determination that an article should not
be regulated under 7 CFR part 340.
APHIS received a petition (APHIS
Petition Number 17–236–01p) from
Nuseed Americas Inc. (Nuseed) of
Breckenridge, MN, seeking a
determination of nonregulated status of
canola (Brassica spp.) designated as
event B0050–027, which has been
genetically engineered to accumulate
the long chain omega-3 fatty acid known
as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in seed.
The Nuseed petition states that
information collected during field trials
and laboratory analyses indicates that
B0050–027 canola is not likely to be a
plant pest and therefore should not be
a regulated article under APHIS’
regulations in 7 CFR part 340.
