market rent for the family’s former 

Section 515 unit and the tenant’s rent 

contribution on the date of the 

prepayment. The voucher amount will 

be based on the comparable market rent; 

the voucher amount will never exceed 

the comparable market rent at the time 

of prepayment for the tenant’s unit if the 

tenant chooses to stay in-place. Also, in 

no event may the Rural Development 

Voucher payment exceed the actual 

tenant lease rent. The amount of the 

voucher does not change either over 

time or if the tenant chooses to move to 

a more expensive location. 

6. Mobility and Portability of Rural 

Development Vouchers 

An eligible family that is issued a 

Rural Development Voucher may elect 

to use the assistance in the same project 

or may choose to move to another 

location. The Rural Development 

Voucher may be used at the prepaid 

property or any other rental unit in the 

United States and its territories that 

passes Rural Development physical 

inspection standards, and where the 

owner will accept a Rural Development 

Voucher and execute a Form HUD 

52641. Tenants and landlords must 

inform Rural Development if the tenant 

plans to move during the HAP 

agreement term, even to a new unit in 

the same complex. All moves (within a 

complex or to another complex) require 

a new obligation, a new inspection and 

a new HAP agreement. In addition, HUD 

Section 8 and federally assisted public 

housing is excluded from the Rural 

Development Voucher Program because 

these units are already federally 

subsidized. Tenants with a Rural 

Development Voucher would have to 

give up the Rural Development Voucher 

to accept the assistance at those 

properties. The Rural Development 

Voucher may be used in other 

properties financed by Rural 

Development, but it cannot be used in 

combination with the Rural 

Development Rental Assistance 

program. Tenants with a Rural 

Development Voucher that apply for 

housing in a Rural Developmentfinanced property must choose between 

using the voucher or Rental Assistance. 

If the tenant relinquishes the Rural 

Development Voucher in favor of Rental 

Assistance, the tenant is not eligible to 

receive another Rural Development 

Voucher. 

7. Term of Funding and Conditions for 

Renewal for Rural Development 

Vouchers 

The Rural Development Voucher 

Program provides voucher assistance for 

12 monthly payments. The voucher is 

issued to the household in the name of 

the primary tenant. If the primary tenant 

dies during the term of the voucher, 

after Rural Development receives notice 

of the death, the use of the voucher 

passes to the co-tenant. 

The voucher is renewable subject to 

the availability of appropriations to the 

USDA. In order to renew a voucher, a 

tenant must return a signed Voucher 

Obligation Form which will be sent to 

the tenant within 60–90 days before the 

current voucher expires. 

In order to ensure continued 

eligibility to use the Rural Development 

Voucher, at the time they apply for 

renewal of the voucher, tenants must 

certify that the current family income 

does not exceed 80 percent of family 

median income. Rural Development will 

advise the tenant of the maximum 

income level when the renewal Voucher 

Obligation Form is sent. 

Renewal requests will have no 

preference and will be processed as a 

new application as described in this 

NOFA. 

8. Non-Discrimination Statement 

‘‘The U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its 

programs and activities on the basis of race, 

color, national origin, age, disability, and 

where applicable, sex, marital status, familial 

status, parental status, religion, sexual 

orientation, genetic information, political 

beliefs, reprisal, or because all or a part of an 

individual’s income is derived from any 

public assistance program. (Not all 

prohibited bases apply to all programs.) 

Persons with disabilities who require 

alternative means for communication of

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Abstract: This information collection 

activity will gather qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training, or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative, 

and actionable communications 

between the agency and its customers 

and stakeholders. It will also allow 

feedback to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: The 

target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

The Access Board received no 

comments in response to the 60-day 

notice published in the Federal Register 

of December 22, 2010 (75 FR 80542). 

Below we provide the Access Board’s 

projected average estimates for the next

Current Actions: New collection of 

information.

BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 44–2011] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 124—Gramercy, 

LA; Application for Reorganization 

Under Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Port of South 

Louisiana, grantee of FTZ 124, 

requesting authority to reorganize 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 June 24, 

2011. 

FTZ 124 was approved by the Board 

on December 20, 1985 (Board Order 319, 

50 FR 53351, 12/31/85), and expanded 

on July 5, 1988 (Board Order 387, 53 FR 

27184, 7/19/88). The current zone 

project includes the following sites: Site 

1 (600 acres)—located at River Mile 

121.4, Luling; Site 2 (335 acres)—within 

the Globalplex Intermodal Terminal, 

River Mile 138.5, Reserve; Site 3 (200 

acres)—within Place Riviere, River Mile 

150, Vacherie; and, Site 4 (213 acres)— 

within the Plantation Business Campus, 

River Mile 121, Destrehan. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be St. Charles, St. 

John the Baptist, St. James, La Fourche 

and St. Mary Parishes, Louisiana. If 

approved, the grantee would be able to 

serve sites throughout the service area 

based on companies’ needs for FTZ 

designation. The proposed service area 

is within and adjacent to the Gramercy 

Customs and Border Protection port of 

entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize its existing zone project to 

include existing Sites 2, 3 and 4 as 

‘‘magnet’’ sites. The ASF allows for the 

possible exemption of one magnet site 

from the ‘‘sunset’’ time limits that 

generally apply to sites under the ASF, 

and the applicant proposes that Site 2 

be so exempted. The applicant is also 

requesting that Site 1 be removed from 

the zone project. Because the ASF only 

pertains to establishing or reorganizing 

a general-purpose zone, the application 

would have no impact on FTZ 124’s 

authorized subzones. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Camille Evans of the FTZ 

Staff is designated examiner to evaluate 

and analyze the facts and information 

presented in the application and case 

record and to report findings and 

recommendations to the Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions (original 

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 

Board’s Executive Secretary at the 

address below. The closing period for 

their receipt is August 29, 2011. 

Rebuttal comments in response to 

material submitted during the foregoing 

period may be submitted during the 

subsequent 15-day period to September 

13, 2011. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary,
