similar information from the applicant 

for related purposes. 

The Forest Service and the Bureau of 

Land Management will use the 

information collected on form FS–2400– 

1 to ensure identification of permittees 

in the field by agency personnel. The 

Forest Service will use the information 

collected on forms FS–2400–4 and FS– 

2400–8 to: 

• Ensure that permittees obtaining 

free use of timber or forest products 

qualify for the free-use program and do 

not receive product value in excess of 

that allowed by regulations (36 CFR 

223.8). 

• Ensure that applicants purchasing 

timber harvest or forest products 

permits non-competitively do not 

exceed the authorized limit in a fiscal 

year (16 U.S.C. 472(a)). 

• Ensure identification of permittees 

in the field by Forest Service personnel. 

Applicants may apply for more than 

one forest products permit or contract 

per year. For example, an applicant may 

obtain a free use permit for a timber 

product such as pine cones (FS–2400– 

8) and still purchase fuelwood (FS– 

2400–4). 

Individuals and small business 

representatives usually request and 

apply for permits and contracts in 

person at the office issuing the permit. 

Applicants provide the following 

information: 

• Name. 

• Address. 

• Personal identification number 

such as tax identification number, social 

security number, driver’s license 

number, or other unique number 

identifying the applicant. 

Agency personnel enter the 

information into a computerized 

database to use for subsequent requests 

by individuals and businesses for a 

forest product permit or contract. The 

information is printed on paper, which 

the applicant signs and dates. Agency 

personnel discuss the terms and 

conditions of the permit or contract 

with the applicant. 

The data gathered is not available 

from other sources. The collected data is 

used to ensure: 

• Applicants for free use permits 

meet the criteria for free use of timber 

or forest products authorized by 

regulations at 36 CFR 223.5–113.13, 

• Applicants seeking to purchase and 

remove timber of forest products from 

Agency lands meet the criteria under 

which sale of timber or forest products 

is authorized by regulations at 36 CFR 

223.80, and 

• Permittees comply with regulations 

and terms of the permit at 36 CFR 261.6. 

The collection of this information is 

necessary to ensure that applicants meet 

the requirements of the forest products 

program; those obtaining free-use 

permits for forest products qualify for 

the program; applicants purchasing noncompetitive permits to harvest forest 

products do not exceed authorized 

limits; and that Federal Agency 

employees can identify permittees when 

in the field. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: 5

small businesses. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 226,500.

Responses per Respondent: 2.

Comment is invited on: (1) Whether 

this collection of information is 

necessary for the stated purposes and 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical or 

scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice announces the Rural Housing 

Service (RHS), the Rural BusinessCooperative Service (RBS), and Rural 

Utilities Service (RUS) intention to 

request an extension for a currently 

approved information collection in 

support of compliance with Civil Rights 

laws. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received by October 17, 2011 to be 

assured of consideration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 7 CFR Part 1901–E, Civil Rights 

Compliance Requirements. 

OMB Number: 0575–0018. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

November 30, 2011. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

Currently Approved Information 

Collection. 

Abstract: The information collection 

under OMB Number 0575–0018 enables 

the RHS, RBS, and RUS, to effectively 

monitor a recipient’s compliance with 

the civil rights laws, and to determine 

whether or not service and benefits are 

being provided to beneficiaries on an 

equal opportunity basis. 

The RBS, RHS, and RUS are required 

to provide Federal financial assistance 

through its housing and community and 

business programs on an equal 

opportunity basis. The laws 

implemented in 7 CFR part 1901, 

subpart E, require the recipients of RBS, 

RHS, and RUS Federal financial 

assistance to collect various types of 

information, including information on 

participants in certain of these agencies’ 

programs, by race, color, and national 

origin. 

The information collected and 

maintained by the recipients of certain 

programs from RBS, RHS, and RUS is 

used internally by these agencies for 

monitoring compliance with the civil 

rights laws and regulations. This 

information is made available to USDA 

officials, officials of other Federal 

agencies, and to Congress for reporting 

purposes. Without the required 

information, RBS, RHS, RUS and its 

recipients will lack the necessary 

documentation to demonstrate that their 

programs are being administered in a 

nondiscriminatory manner, and in full 

compliance with the civil rights laws. In 

addition, the RBS, RHS, RUS and their 

recipients would be vulnerable in 

lawsuits alleging discrimination in the

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 158 / Tuesday, August 16, 2011 / Notices 50717 

affected programs of these agencies, and 

would be without appropriate data and 

documentation to defend themselves by 

demonstrating that services and benefits 

are being provided to beneficiaries on 

an equal opportunity basis. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 7.5 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Recipients of RBS, RHS, 

and RUS Federal financial assistance, 

loan, and loan guarantee programs. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

27,000. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 2.72. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

73,559. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 550,276.

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the

the information will have practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agencies’

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 53–2011] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 74, Baltimore, MD; 

Application for Reorganization/ 

Expansion Under Alternative Site 

Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Baltimore 

Development Corporation on behalf of 

the City of Baltimore, grantee of FTZ 74, 

requesting authority to reorganize and 

expand the zone under the alternative 

site framework (ASF) adopted by the 

Board (74 FR 1170–1173, 01/12/09 

(correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09); 75 FR 

71069–71070, 11/22/10)). The ASF is an 

option for grantees for the establishment 

or reorganization of general-purpose 

zones and can permit significantly 

greater flexibility in the designation of 

new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for 

operators/users located within a 

grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of 

the Board’s standard 2,000-acre 

activation limit for a general-purpose 

zone project. The application was 

submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade 

Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a– 

81u), and the regulations of the Board 

(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed 

on August 10, 2011. 

FTZ 74 was approved by the Board on 

January 21, 1982 (Board Order 183, 47 

FR 5737, 2/8/82), and expanded on 

January 31, 1989 (Board Order 427, 54 

FR 5992, 2/7/89), on April 5, 2001 

(Board Order 1157, 66 FR 19423, 4/16/ 

01), and on December 9, 2005 (Board 

Order 1424, 70 FR 76023, 12/22/05). 

The current zone project includes the 

following sites: Site 1 (20 acres)— 

Holabird Industrial Park, Baltimore; Site 

2 (127 acres)—within the Point Breeze 

Business Center, 2500 Broening 

Highway, Baltimore; Site 3 (167.6 

acres)—within the Seagirt Marine 

Terminal, Baltimore; Site 4 (287.5 

acres)—Dundalk Marine Terminal, 

located on Broening Highway, 

Baltimore; Site 5 (97 acres)— 

Chesapeake Terminal and American 

Port Services Center, Baltimore; Site 6 

(274 acres)—Atlantic and Fairfield
