Title: Electric System Emergency
Restoration Plan.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0140.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: USDA Rural Development
administers rural utilities programs
through the Rural Utilities Service
(Agency). The Agency manages loan
programs in accordance with the Rural
Electrification Act (RE Act) of 1936, 7
U.S.C. 901 et sec., as amended. One of
the Agency’s main objectives is to
safeguard loan security. An important
part of safeguarding loan security is to
make sure Agency financed facilities are
utilized responsibly, adequately
operated and adequately maintained.
Accordingly, RUS borrowers have a
duty to RUS to maintain their respective
systems. In performing this duty,
borrowers further the purposes of the RE
Act while also preserving the value of
electric systems to serve as collateral for
repayment of RUS assistance.
A substantial portion of the electric
infrastructure of the United States
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:28 Mar 26, 2020
Jkt 250001
resides in rural America and is
maintained by rural Americans. RUS is
uniquely coupled with the electric
infrastructure of rural America and its
electric borrowers serving rural
America. To ensure that the electric
infrastructure in rural America is
adequately protected, electric borrowers
conduct a Vulnerability and Risk
Assessment (VRA) of their respective
systems and utilize the results of this
assessment to enhance an existing
Emergency Restoration Plan (ERP) or to
create an ERP. The VRA is utilized to
identify specific assets and
infrastructure owned or served by the
electric utility, to determine the
criticality and the risk level associated
with the assets and infrastructure
including a risk versus cost analysis, to
identify threats and vulnerabilities, if
present, to review existing mitigation
procedures and to assist in the
development of new and additional
mitigating procedures, if necessary. The
ERP provides written procedures
detailing response and restoration
efforts in the event of a major system
outage resulting from a natural or manmade disaster. The annual exercise of
the ERP ensures operability and
employee competency and serves to
identify and correct deficiencies in the
existing ERP. The exercise may be
implemented individually by a single
borrower, or by an individual borrower
as a participant in a multi-party (to
include utilities, government agencies
and other participants or combination
thereof) tabletop execution or actual
implementation of the ERP.
Electric borrowers maintain ERPs as
part of prudent utilities practices. These
ERPs are essential to continuous
operation of the electric systems. Each
electric borrower provides RUS with an
annual self-certification that an ERP
exists for the system and that an initial
VRA has been performed.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.5 hour per
response.
Respondents: Not-for-profit
institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
625.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 313 hours.

Memphis, Tennessee; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; ISK
Biosciences Corporation (Agricultural
Chemicals); Memphis, Tennessee
The City of Memphis, grantee of FTZ
77, submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board on
behalf of ISK Biosciences Corporation
(ISK Biosciences), located in Memphis,
Tennessee. The notification conforming
to the requirements of the regulations of
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on March 12, 2020.
ISK Biosciences’ facility is located
within Subzone 77I. The facility is used
for the production of agricultural
chemicals. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited
to the specific foreign-status materials
and components and specific finished
products described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt ISK Biosciences from
customs duty payments on the foreignstatus components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status materials/components

production equipment.
The components and materials
sourced from abroad include technical
cyazofamid, isofetamid, pyriofenone,
