Abstract: This subpart set forth the 

policies and procedures and delegates 

authority for providing technical

finance programs of technical and 

supervisory assistance for self-help 

housing loan program, as authorized 

under section 523 of the Housing Act of 

1949 under 42 U.S.C. 1472. This 

financial assistance may pay part or all 

of the cost of developing, administering 

or coordinating program of technical 

and supervisory assistance to aid very 

low- and low-income families in 

carrying out self-help housing efforts in 

rural areas. The primary purpose is to 

locate and work with families that 

otherwise do not qualify as 

homeowners, are below the 50 percent 

of median incomes, and living in 

substandard housing. 

RHS will be collecting information 

from non-profit organizations to enter 

into grant agreements. These non-profit 

organizations will give technical and 

supervisory assistance, and in doing so, 

they must develop a final application 

for section 523 grant funds. This 

application includes Agency forms that 

contain essential information for making 

a determination of eligibility. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 1.35 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Public or private 

nonprofit organizations, State, Local or 

Tribal Governments.

140.

Respondent: 20.03.

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

RHS, including whether the information 

will have practical utility; (b) the 

accuracy of RHS’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) 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 may be sent to

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 16–2012] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 148—Knoxville, 

TN; Application for Reorganization 

Under Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Industrial 

Development Board of Blount County 

and the Cities of Alcoa and Maryville, 

Tennessee, grantee of FTZ 148, 

requesting authority to reorganize the 

zone under the alternative site 

framework (ASF) adopted by the Board 

(74 FR 1170, 1/12/09 (correction 74 FR 

3987, 1/22/09); 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 March 13, 

2012. 

FTZ 148 was approved by the Board 

on June 28, 1988 (Board Order 384, 53 

FR 26095, 07/11/1988) and expanded on 

August 21, 2003 (Board Order 1294, 68
