Rural Utilities Service
Title: RUS Electric Loan Application
and Related Reporting Burdens.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0032.
Summary Of Collection: The Rural
Utilities Service (RUS) was established
in 1994 by the Federal Crop Insurance
Reform and Department of Agriculture
Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L.
103–354, 108 stat. 3178, 7 U.S.C. 6941
et seq.) as successor to the Rural
Electrification Administration (REA)
with respect to certain programs,
including the electric loan and loan
guarantee program authorized under the
Rural Electrification Act (RE Act) of
1936. The RE Act authorizes and
empowers the Administrator of RUS to
make and guarantee loans to furnish and
improve electric service in rural areas.
These loans are amortized over a period
of up to 35 years and secured by the
borrower’s electric assets and/or
revenue. RUS will collect information
including studies and reports to support
borrower loan applications.
Need and Use of the Information:
RUS will collect information to
determine the eligibility of applicants
for loans and loan guarantees under the
RE Act; monitor the compliance of
borrowers with debt covenants and
regulatory requirements in order to
protect loan security; ensure that
borrowers use loan funds for purposes
consistent with the statutory goals of the
RE Act; and obtain information on the
progress of rural electrification and
evaluate the success of RUS program
activities. Without the information RUS
would be unable to accomplish
statutory goals.

Title: 7 CFR part 1724 and Part 1738
Electric Engineering, Architectural
Services and Design Policies and
Procedures; and Rural Broadband
Access Loans and Loan Guarantees.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0118.
Summary of Collection: The Rural
Electrification Act of 1936, 7 U.S.C. 901
et seq., as amended, authorizes Rural
Utilities Service (RUS) to make loans in
several States and Territories of the
United States for broadband access and
rural electrification and the furnishing
and improving of electric energy to
persons in rural areas. Title 7 CFR 1724
requires each borrower to select a
qualified architect to perform certain
architectural services and to use the
designated form that provides for these
services. The agency has developed
standardized contractual forms used by
borrowers to contract for services.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected stipulates the
parties to the agreement, contain certain
information relating to the approved
loan or loan guarantee, and provide
detailed contractual obligations and
services to be provided and performed
relating to construction, project design,
construction management,
compensation, and related information.
The contractual forms provide
standardized contract agreements
between the electric or broadband
borrower and the engineering or
architectural firm providing services to
the borrower. This has resulted in
substantial savings to borrowers by
reducing preparation of the
documentation and the costly review by
the government.
Description of Respondents: Business

in the Federal Meat Inspection Act
(FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), and the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)
(21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.). These statutes
mandate that FSIS protect the public by

FSIS is requesting renewal of the
approved information collection
regarding animal disposition reporting
in the Public Health Information
System. There are no changes to the

as required. Poultry slaughter
establishments complete FSIS Form
6510–7 after each shift and submit it to
the Agency. Other slaughter
establishments provide their business
records to FSIS to report the necessary
information.
FSIS uses this information to plan
inspection activities, to develop
sampling plans, to target establishments
for testing, to develop the Agency
budget, and to develop reports to
Congress. FSIS also provides this data to
other USDA agencies, including the
National Agricultural Statistics Service

Inspection Service (APHIS), and the
Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS),
for their publications and for other
functions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Requirements To Notify FSIS of
Adulterated or Misbranded Product,
Prepare and Maintain Written Recall
Procedures, and Document Certain
HACCP Plan Reassessments.
OMB Number: 0583–0144.
Expiration Date of Approval: 9/30/
2021.
Type of Request: Renewal of an
approved information collection.
Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the
authority to exercise the functions of the
Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified
in the Federal Meat Inspection Act
(FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)
(21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.), and the Egg
Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21
U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). These statutes
mandate that FSIS protect the public by
verifying that meat, poultry, and egg
products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and
packaged.
FSIS is requesting revision of the
approved information collection
regarding requirements for official
establishments to notify FSIS of
adulterated or misbranded product,
prepare and maintain written recall
procedures, and document certain
HACCP plan reassessments. FSIS has
decreased the burden estimate for this
collection by 37,515 hours due to more
recent, updated information.
The regulations at 9 CFR 418.2, 418.3
and 417.4(a)(3) require establishments
to notify FSIS that they have shipped or
received adulterated or misbranded
product in commerce, prepare and
maintain written recall procedures, and
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
document certain HACCP plan
reassessments. Accordingly, FSIS
requires three information collection
activities under these regulations.
First, FSIS requires that official
establishments notify the appropriate
District Office that an adulterated or
misbranded product received by or
originating from the establishment has
entered commerce, if the establishment
believes or has reason to believe that
this has happened. Industry
representatives of official
establishments may now use FSIS Form
5720–16, Industry Report of
Adulteration, to notify FSIS that an
adulterated or misbranded meat, meat
food, poultry, or poultry product was
received from or shipped to commerce
by the official establishment. The form
is available as a paper form and digitally
in PHIS.
Second, FSIS requires that
establishments prepare and maintain
written procedures for the recall of meat
and poultry products produced and
shipped by the establishment for use
should it become necessary for the
establishment to remove product from
commerce. These written recall
procedures have to specify how the
establishment will decide whether to
conduct a product recall, and how the
establishment will effect the recall
should it decide that one is necessary.
Finally, FSIS requires that
establishments document each
reassessment of the establishment’s
HACCP plans. FSIS requires
establishments to reassess their HACCP
plans annually and whenever any
changes occur that could affect the
hazard analysis or alter the HACCP
plan. For annual reassessments, if the
establishment determines that no
changes are necessary, documentation
of this determination is not necessary.
FSIS has made the following
estimates as part of an information
collection assessment.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average .232
hours per response.
Respondents: Official meat and
poultry products establishments.
Estimated annual Number of
Respondents: 6,300.
Estimated average number of
responses per respondent: 6.8.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 42,900.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 9,960.
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.
