Title: 7 CFR part 1744, subpart B, Lien

Policy.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0126.
Expiration Date of Approval: July 31,
2020
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: RUS borrowers and other
organizations providing
telecommunications in rural areas, due
to changes in the telecommunications
industry, including deregulation and
technological developments, may
consider undertaking projects that
provide new telecommunications
services and other telecommunications
services not ordinarily financed by RUS.
Although some of these services may
not be eligible for financing under the
Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (RE
Act), the services may nevertheless
advance RE Act objectives where the
borrower obtains financing from private
lenders. To facilitate the financing of
those projects and services, this program
assists in facilitating funding from nonRUS sources in order to meet the
growing capital needs of rural Local
Exchange Carriers (LECs).
The information collected for lien
accommodation requests is used by RUS
to ascertain a borrower’s level of
financial strength and, upon agency
approval of the lien accommodation,
ensures that the government’s loan
security interest is protected.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.50 hours per
response.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit and non-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Number of Responses: 3.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 1.5.
Copies of this information collection
can be obtained from Kimble Brown,
Innovation Center—Regulations Team,

All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 158—
Jackson, Mississippi; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; Traxys
Cometals USA, LLC (Manganese and
Aluminum Alloying Agents);
Burnsville, Mississippi
Traxys Cometals USA, LLC (Traxys
Cometals) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ
Board for its facility in Burnsville,
Mississippi. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on January 30,
2020.
Traxys Cometals already has authority
to produce high-grade manganese and
aluminum alloying agents within FTZ
158. The current request would add
foreign status materials/components to
the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15
CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority
would be limited to the specific foreignstatus materials/components described
in the submitted notification (as
described below) and subsequently
authorized by the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Traxys Cometals from
customs duty payments on the foreignstatus materials/components used in
export production. On its domestic
sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below, Traxys
Cometals would be able to choose the
duty rate during customs entry
procedures that applies to high-grade
manganese and aluminum alloying
agents (duty rate ranges from 1.4% to
14%). Traxys Cometals would be able to
avoid duty on foreign-status
components which become scrap/waste.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.
The materials/components sourced
from abroad include low-carbon and
medium-carbon ferromanganese powder
(duty rate ranges from 1.4% to 2.3%).
The request indicate that low-carbon
and medium-carbon ferromanganese
powder are subject to special duties
under Section 301 of the Trade Act of
1974 (Section 301), depending on the
country of origin. The applicable
Section 301 decisions require subject
merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR
146.41).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
