Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service
Title: Importation of Live Fish,
Fertilized Eggs, and Gametes from
Tilapia Lake Virus-Susceptible Species.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0473.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et
seq.) authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture, either independently or in
cooperation with States, to prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products to prevent the introduction
into and dissemination within the
United States of livestock diseases and
pests. To carry out this mission, APHIS
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS has determined that the
introduction and establishment of
Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) posed a
serious threat to U.S. agriculture and
published a Federal Order placing
certain requirements on the importation
of all live fish, fertilized eggs, and
gametes from TiLV-susceptible species
imported from all countries. These
imported items must be accompanied by
a U.S. Department of Agriculture-issued
import permit, an official veterinary
health certificate, and evidence of a
veterinary inspection at a designated
U.S. port of entry before being allowed
entry into the United States.
Description of Respondents: State,
Local, or Tribal Government, Importers,
and Veterinarians.
Number of Respondents: 57.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting;

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
July 21, 2020.
The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments are
requested regarding: Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments regarding this information
collection received by August 24, 2020
will be considered. Written comments
and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Find this
particular information collection by
selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day
Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or
by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Rural Utilities Service
Title: 7 CFR part 1744, subpart B, Lien
Accommodations and Subordination
Policy.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0126.
Summary of Collection: The
information collected in this
information collection package is
received from RUS telecommunications
borrowers. The policy of considering
Lien Accommodations will continue to
facilitate funding from non-agency
sources in order to meet the growing
PO 00000
Frm 00003

Sfmt 4703
capital needs of rural Local Exchange
Carriers (LECs). Depending on the
purposes for which a lien
accommodation is sought, RUS will
utilize the information to provide an
expedited approval for borrowers that
meet the financial tests described in this
rule. RUS believes that borrowers that
are financially sound should be afforded
more flexibility with regard to financial
arrangements with outside lenders for
the purpose of promoting rural
telecommunications. The tests are
designed to ensure that the financial
strength of the borrower is more than
sufficient to protect the government’s
loan security interests; hence, the lien
accommodations will not adversely
affect the government’s financial
interests.
Need and Use of the Information: In
order to facilitate supplemental
financing for telecommunications
services projects, RUS provides fast
track lien accommodations to private
lenders who propose to lend to RUS
borrowers who meet certain financial
strength evaluations. Depending on the
purposes for which a lien
accommodation is sought, RUS will use
the information to provide expedited
approval for borrowers that meet the
financial tests. The tests are designed to
ensure that the financial strength of the
borrower is more than sufficient to
protect the government’s loan security
interests; hence, the lien
accommodations will not adversely
affect the government’s financial
interests.

Rural Utilities Service
Title: 7 CFR part 1752, Special
Servicing of Telecommunication
Programs Loans for Financially
Distressed Borrowers.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0153.
Summary of Collection: The Rural
Utilities Service (RUS or the Agency)
Telecommunications Program (Program)
provides loan funding to build and
expand broadband and
telecommunications services into
unserved and underserved rural
communities, along with very limited
funding to support the costs to acquire
equipment to provide distance learning
and telemedicine service. RUS
published a Final rule codifying a new
servicing regulation on February 25,
2020 in the Federal Register which
outlines policies for servicing actions
E:\FR\FM\24JYN1.SGM
24JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 143 / Friday, July 24, 2020 / Notices
associated with distressed borrowers
from the Telecommunications
Infrastructure Loan Program, Rural
Broadband Program, Distance Learning
and Telemedicine Program, Broadband
Initiatives Program, and Rural eConnectivity Pilot Program. The
purpose of the regulation is to
streamline servicing actions, improve
the government’s recovery on such
loans, and improve customer service.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collection addresses RD’s
expanded authority, with the
codification of the rulemaking, to
address servicing actions. RD considers
it imperative to use the expanded
authority for servicing actions
associated with the RUS
Telecommunications Programs in order
to: (1) Maximize risk management of
loan portfolio; (2) reduce duplication of
effort between federal agencies, which
may expedite servicing of distressed
borrowers; (3) ensure efficient recovery
of debt which may mitigate negative
impact on program subsidy rates; and
(4) simplify the servicing process for the
Agency and therefore minimize the
financial burden and costs on
borrowers.
The Agency provides forms and/or
guidelines to assist in collection and
submission of the information required
to service loans. In some cases, use of
Agency forms is optional and the
borrower may submit the information
required on other forms. The forms or
related items completed by the borrower
are submitted to and evaluated by the
Agency. Failure to collect proper
information from borrowers could result
in improper determinations of servicing
assistance, hinder the government’s
recovery of such loans as well as
encumber customer service.

Risk Management Agency
Title: Area Risk Protection Insurance.
OMB Control Number: 0563–0083.
Summary of Collection: The Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is a
wholly-owned Government corporation
created February 16, 1938 (7 U.S.C.
1501). The program was amended
previously, but Public Law 96–365,
dated September 26, 1980, provided for
nationwide expansion of a
comprehensive crop insurance program.
The Federal Crop Insurance Act, as
amended in later years further expanded
this role of the crop insurance program
to be the principal tool for risk
management by producers of
agricultural commodities. The Act was
again amended on June 20, 2020, by
Public Law 106–224 which mandates
changes to crop insurance regulations,
provides for independent review of crop
insurance products by persons

Frm 00004

experienced in actuaries and in
underwriting, and gives contracting
authority for the development of new
products.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI)
includes three separate plans of
insurance: (1) Area Revenue Protection
which protects against price declines
and automatically includes Upside
Harvest Price Protection (UHPP) which
protects against price increases; (2) ARP
with the Harvest Price Exclusion, which
excludes UHPP and protects against
price declines but not against price
increases; and (3) Area Yield Protection
which only protects against loss of
yield. Using a wide range of data
elements producers are required to
report specific data when they apply for
ARPI such as acreage and yields.
Insurance companies accept
applications; issue policies; establish
and provide insurance coverage;
compute liability, premium, subsidies,
and losses; indemnify producers; and
report specific data to FCIC as required
in Appendix III/M13 Handbook.
If producers and insurance companies
did not submit the required data at the
specified time, accurate liabilities,
premium, and subsidies may not be
determined, errors may not be resolved
timely, producers may not receive
accurate indemnities, payments may be
late, crop insurance may not be
actuarially sound as mandated by the
Act.
Description of Respondents:
Producers and insurance companies.
Number of Respondents: 18,634.
Frequency of Responses: Weekly,
monthly, quarterly, annually, semiannually.
Total Burden Hours: 80,324.
