program is to promote sustainable 

economic development in rural areas. 

This purpose is achieved through grants 

made by the RBS to public and private 

non-profit organizations and 

cooperatives to pay costs of economic 

development planning and technical 

assistance for rural businesses. The 

regulations contain various 

requirements for information from the 

grant applicants and recipients. The 

information requested is necessary for 

RBS to be able to process applications 

in a responsible manner, make prudent 

program decisions, and effectively 

monitor the grantees’ activities to ensure 

that funds obtained from the 

Government are used appropriately. 

Objectives include gathering 

information to identify the applicant, 

describe the applicant’s experience and 

expertise, describe the project and how 

the applicant will operate it, and other 

material necessary for prudent Agency 

decisions and reasonable program 

monitoring. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 9 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Non-profit corporations, 

public agencies, and cooperatives. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

248. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 8.

Maximum Dollar Amount on Awards 

Under the Rural Economic 

Development Loan and Grant Program 

for Fiscal Year 2007; Correction 

AGENCY: Rural Business-Cooperative 

Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice; correction. 

SUMMARY: The Rural BusinessCooperative Service (RBS) published a 

document in the Federal Register of 

Friday, December 8, 2006, [71 FR 71128] 

concerning the announcement of the 

maximum dollar amount under the 

Rural Economic Development Loan and 

Grant Program (REDLG). This document 

announces the actual amount available 

and the expanded eligibility 

requirements.

Correction 

In the Federal Register of December 8, 

2006, in FR Doc. E6–20871, on page 

71128, in the third column, correct the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION caption to 

read: RBS published a Notice of Funds 

Availability (NOFA) on December 8, 

2006. Based on the Revised Continuing 

Appropriations Resolution, 2007 (2007 

Appropriation), (Public Law 110–5), the 

total amount available for zero-interest 

loans is $24,752,477. As stated in the 

NOFA, the maximum loan and grant 

awards pursuant to 7 CFR 1703.28 is 3.0 

percent of the program level rounded to 

the nearest $10,000, but no less than 

$200,000. Thus, the maximum dollar 

amount available per loan is $740,000. 

Total amount available for grants is 

$10,000,000. Thus, the maximum 

amount available per grant is $300,000. 

Additionally, the 2007 Appropriation 

continued the REDLG eligibility 

requirements implemented in FY 2006. 

Therefore, an organization is considered 

to be eligible to participate in the 

REDLG program if it can be described 

as: 

1. Any former Rural Utilities Service 

borrower that has repaid or prepaid an 

insured, direct, or guaranteed loan 

under the Rural Electrification Act; 

2. Any not-for-profit utility that is 

eligible to receive an insured or direct 

loan under such act; or 

3. Any borrower under such act. 

The Regulations for these programs 

are at 7 CFR part 1703, subpart B. The 

maximum loan and grant awards are 

determined in accordance with 7 CFR 

1703.28. The maximum loan and grant 

awards are calculated at 3.0 percent of 

the projected program levels, rounded to 

the nearest $10,000; however, as 

specified in 7 CFR 1703.28(b), 

regardless of the projected total amount 

that will be available, the maximum size 

may not be lower than $200,000. The 

projected program level during FY 2007 

for zero-interest loans is $25,215,484.47, 

and the projected level for grants is 

$10,000,000. Applying the 3.0 percent 

to the program level for loans, rounded 

to the nearest $10,000, results in a 

projected maximum loan award of 

$740,000. Applying the specified 3.0 

percent to the program level for grants 

results in an amount higher than 

$200,000. Therefore, the projected grant 

award for FY 2007 is $300,000.

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Institute of

Title: Evaluation of Whole-Body 

Detector Response of Virtual GammaRay System—Administered Radioactive 

Material. 

Form Number(s): None. 

OMB Approval Number: None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Burden Hours: 5. 

Number of Respondents: 50. 

Average Hours Per Response: 6 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: This collection of 

information is necessary to allow 

Investigators to make the appropriate 

corrections to relate the radioactivity 

measured to the content in the volunteer 

at the time of the measurement. The 

project will evaluate the system’s 

response to a variety of body geometries, 

and relate the system’s response to 

handheld in vivo gamma-ray detectors 

readings that would be used during 

radiological emergency response. 

Physical parameters of the volunteers 

such as height, weight will be needed to 

assess the correlation with counting 

response that is expected to have 

uncertainties as large as 50 percent. It is 

an objective of the project to provide 

guidance to the radiological 

consequence management community 

to better be able to estimate internal 

contamination of exposed people, and 

make decisions of their care. 

Affected Public: Federal government, 

and individual or households. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review: 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. 

Bureau: International Trade 

Administration (ITA). 

Title: International Buyer Program: 

Application and Exhibitor Data Form. 

Agency Form Number: ITA–4014P 

and ITA–4102P. 

OMB Number: 0625–0151. 

Type of Request: Regular submission. 

Burden Hours: 1,400. 

Number of Respondents: 7,250. 

Average Hours per Response: 3 hours 

and 10 minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The International 

Trade Administration’s International 

Buyer Program (IBP) encourages 

international buyers to attend selected 

domestic trade shows in high export 

potential industries and to facilitate 

contact between U.S. exhibitors and 

foreign visitors. The program has been 

successful, having substantially 

increased the number of foreign visitors 

attending these selected shows as 

compared to the attendance when not 

supported by the program. The number 

of shows selected to the program 

increased from 28 in FY 2001 to 32 in 

FY 2004 and will increase to 36 in 2007. 

Among the criteria used to select these 

shows are: Protection of intellectual 

property rights, export potential, 

international interest, scope of show, 

stature of show, exhibitor interest, 

overseas marketing, logistics, and 

cooperation of show organizers. Form 

ITA–4014P, Exhibitor Data, is used to 

determine which U.S. firms are 

interested in meeting with international 

business visitors and the overseas 

business interest of the exhibitors. The 

exhibitor data form is completed by U.S. 

exhibitors participating in an IBP 

domestic trade show and is used to list 

the firm and its U.S.-made products in 

an Export Interest Directory, which is 

distributed worldwide for use by 

Foreign Commercial Officers in 

recruiting delegations of international 

buyers to attend the show. The Form 

ITA–4102P, Application, is used by a 

potential show organizer to provide (1) 

his/her experience, (2) ability to meet 

the special conditions of the IBP, and (3) 

information about the domestic trade 

show such as the number of U.S. 

exhibitors and the percentage of net 

exhibit space occupied by U.S. 

companies vis-a-vis non-U.S. exhibitors. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit organizations, and not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit, voluntary.
