SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Codex was established in 1963 by two 

United Nations organizations, the Food 

and Agriculture Organization and the 

World Health Organization. Through 

adoption of food standards, codes of 

practice, and other guidelines 

developed by its committees, and by 

promoting their adoption and 

implementation by governments, Codex 

seeks to protect the health of consumers 

and ensure fair practices in the food 

trade. 

The Terms of Reference of the Codex 

Committee on Fresh Fruits and 

Vegetables (CCFFV) are: 

(a) To elaborate worldwide standards 

and codes of practice as may be 

appropriate for fresh fruits and 

vegetables; 

(b) to consult, as necessary, with other 

international organizations in the 

standards development process to avoid 

duplication. 

The CCFFV is hosted by Mexico. The 

United States attends the CCFFV as a 

member country of Codex.

the 22nd Session of the CCFFV will be

and shallots 

• Proposed draft standard for berry

• Discussion paper on glossary of terms 

used in the layout for Codex 

standards for fresh fruits and 

vegetables

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Servicing Minor Program Loans. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0230. 

Expiration Date: June 30, 2022. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Abstract: Section 331(b) of the 

Consolidated Farm and Rural 

Development Act (CONACT, 7 U.S.C. 

1981(b)), in part, authorizes the 

Secretary of Agriculture to modify, 

subordinate and release terms of 

security instruments, leases, contracts, 

and agreements entered by FSA. That 

section also authorizes transfers of 

security property, as the Secretary 

deems necessary, to carry out the 

purpose of the loan or protect the 

Government’s financial interest. Section 

335 of the CONACT (7 U.S.C. 1985) 

provides servicing authority for real 

estate security; operation or lease of 

realty; disposition of property; 

conveyance of real property interest of 

the United States; easements; and 

condemnations. 

The information collection relates to a 

program benefit recipient or loan 

borrower requesting action on security 

they own, which was purchased with 

FSA loan funds, improved with FSA 

loan funds or has otherwise been 

mortgaged to FSA to secure a 

Government loan. The information 

collected is primarily financial data not 

already on file, such as borrower asset 

values, current financial information 

and public use and employment data. 

There are no changes to the burden 

hours since the last OMB approval. 

For the following estimated total 

annual burden on respondents, the 

formula used to calculate the total 

burden hour is the estimated average 

time per responses hours multiplied by 

the estimated total annual responses. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: Public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 0.64 

hours per response. 

Type of Respondents: Individuals, 

associations, partnerships, or 

corporations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

58. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual of Responses: 

58. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Responses: 0.64 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 37 hours. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this information collection to 

help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate 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) Evaluate the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information technology; 

and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

information collection on those who 

respond through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses where provided, will be made 

a matter of public record. Comments 

will be summarized and included in the
