Service
Title: Standards for Privately Owned
Quarantine Facilities for Ruminants.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0232.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is
the primary Federal law governing the
protection of animal health. The law
gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad
authority to detect, control, or eradicate
pests or diseases of livestock or poultry.
The Secretary may also prohibit or
restrict import or export of any animal
or related material to prevent the spread
of any livestock or poultry pest or
disease. The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) provides
standards for the approval, operation,
and oversight of privately owned
quarantine facilities for imported
ruminants prior to their release into the
United States.

operate (with APHIS oversight) their
own facilities for the quarantine of
imported ruminants: (1) Application
Letter; (2) Cooperative Service
Agreement; (3) Daily Log and
Recordkeeping; (4) Request for Variance;
and Operating Procedures and

Rural Utilities Service
Title: Request for Release of Lien and/
or Approval of Sale.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0041.
Summary of Collection: The Rural
Utilities Service (RUS) is a credit agency
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) that makes mortgage loans and
loan guarantees to finance electric,
telecommunications, and water and
waste facilities in rural areas. RUS
manages loan programs in accordance
with the Rural Electrification Act (RE
Act) of 1936, 7 U.S.C. 901 et seq., as
amended (RE Act). A 1949 amendment
to the RE Act established the telephone
program in RUS with the purpose of
making loans to furnish and improve
rural telephone service. Section 201 of
the RE Act provides that loans shall not
be made unless RUS finds and certifies
that the security for the loan is
reasonably adequate and that the loan
will be repaid within the time agreed. In
addition to providing loans and loan
guarantees, one of RUS main objectives
is to safeguard loan security until the
loan is repaid.
Need and Use of the Information: A
borrower’s assets provide the security
for a Government loan. The selling of
assets reduces the security and increases
the risk of loss to the Government. A
borrower seeking permission to sell
some of its assets uses RUS Form 793.
The form contains detailed information
regarding the proposed sale. If the
information in Form 793 is not collected
when capital assets are sold, the capital
assets securing the Government’s loans

could be liquidated and the
Government’s security either eliminated
entirely or diluted to an undesirable
level. This increases the risk of loss to
the Government in the case of a default.
Description of Respondents:
Businesses or other for-profits; Not-forprofit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 35.
