OMB Control Number: 0560–0232. 

Summary of Collection: The Farm 

Loan Programs (FLP) provides loans to 

family farmers to purchase real estate 

and equipment and finance agricultural 

production. The regulation describes the 

policies and procedures for Farm 

Service Agency’s (FSA) servicing of

Farm and Rural Development Act (Act) 

(Pub. L. 87–128), as amended. Direct 

Loan Servicing—Special, as specified in 

7 CFR part 766, provides the 

requirements for servicing financially

borrowers. FSA’s loan servicing options 

include disaster set-aside, primary loan 

servicing, (including reamortization, 

rescheduling, deferral, write down and 

conservation contracts), buyout at 

market value, and homestead 

protection. In addition, the regulations

borrowers who file bankruptcy, as well 

as liquidation of security when available 

servicing options do not result in a 

feasible plan. 

Need and Use of the Information: FSA 

will collect information using several 

FSA forms to provide supervised credit 

and authorized servicing actions to 

financially distressed and delinquent 

direct loan borrowers. Failure to collect 

the information could result in the

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
