Rural Utility Service 

Title: Substantially Underserved Trust 

Areas (SUTA), 7 CFR 1700, Subpart D. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0147. 

Summary of Collection: The 2008 

Farm Bill (P.L. 110–246) authorized the 

Substantially Underserved Trust Area 

(SUTA) initiative. The SUTA initiative 

identifies the need and improves the 

availability of Rural Utility Service 

(RUS) programs to reach trust areas. The 

initiative gives the Secretary of 

Agriculture certain discretionary 

authorities relating to financial 

assistance terms and conditions that can 

enhance the financing possibilities in 

areas that are underserved by certain 

RUS electric, water and waste, and 

telecom and broadband programs. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

RUS provides loan, loan guarantee and 

grant programs for rural electric, water 

and waste, and telecommunications and 

broadband infrastructure. Eligible 

applicants notify RUS in writing, at the 

time of application, that it seeks 

consideration under the requirements of 

7 CFR 1700, subpart D. The data 

covered by this collection are those 

materials necessary to allow the agency 

to determine applicant and community 

eligibility, and an explanation and 

documentation of the high need for the 

benefits of the SUTA provisions. 

Without this information RUS would 

not be able to make a prudent loan 

decision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Requirements for Requests to 

Amend Import Regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0261. 

Type of Request: Revision to and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act (7 

U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes the 

Secretary of Agriculture to restrict the 

importation, entry, or interstate 

movement of plants, plant products, and 

other articles to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States or their dissemination 

within the United States. Regulations 

governing the importation of plants, 

fruits, vegetables, roots, bulbs, seeds, 

unmanufactured wood articles, and 

other plant products are contained in 7 

CFR part 319, ‘‘Foreign Quarantine 

Notices.’’ 

Persons who request changes to the 

import regulations and who wish to 

import plants, plant parts, or plant 

products that are not allowed 

importation into the United States, must 

file a request with the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) for 

consideration to determine whether the 

new commodity may be safely 

imported. Section 319.5 provides the 

requirements for the submission of these 

requests. This request process requires 

the use of information collection 

activities, including information about 

the requestor, information about the 

commodity to be imported, shipping 

information, a description of pests and 

diseases associated with the commodity, 

risk mitigation or management 

strategies, and additional information as 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

25276 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 85 / Monday, May 4, 2015 / Notices 

determined by APHIS to complete a pest 

risk analysis in accordance with 

international standards. 

To assist importers who are interested 

in requesting the importation of plants 

for planting that are not allowed 

importation under the regulations in 

part 319, we are adding to this 

information collection a new form, Plant 

Protection and Quarantine Form 595, 

Request to Develop a Pest Risk 

Assessment for Plants for Planting. We 

estimate that this new form will account 

for 20 respondents, 20 total annual 

responses, 0.25 hours per response, and 

5 estimated total annual burden hours. 

We have also decreased the estimated 

total annual burden on respondents 

from 2,960 hours to 26 hours to more 

accurately reflect the total number of 

hours importers need to complete and 

submit a request to change the import 

regulations. Although the estimated 

annual number of respondents 

increased from 37 to 62, there has been 

a large decrease in the time (hours per 

response) that it takes for each 

respondent to prepare a request to 

change the import regulations. The 

hours per response decreased from 40 

hours per response to 0.42 hours, which 

is a more accurate estimate. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, for an 

additional 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the 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 our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 0.42 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Importers. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 62. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 62. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 26 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 28th day of 

April 2015.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service.
