28146 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 22, 2001 / Notices

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

environmental assessment of this

federally assisted action indicates that

the project will not cause significant

local, regional, or national impacts on

the environment. As a result of these

findings, Bob Graham, State

Conservationist, has determined that the

preparation and review of an

environmental impact statement is not

needed for this project.

The project purpose is for watershed

protection. The planned works of

improvement include the development

and implementation of conservation

plans on approximately 60 dairies, 22

heifer replacement operations and 34

other livestock operations.

The Notice of a Finding of No

Significant Impact (FONSI) has been

forwarded to the Environmental

Protection Agency and to various

Federal, State and local agencies and

interested parties. A limited number of

copies of the FONSI are available to fill

single copy requests at the above

address. Basic data developed during

the environmental assessment are on

file and may be reviewed by contacting

Terry Nelson, NRCS, 503–414–3014.

No administrative action on

implementation of the proposal will be

taken until 30 days after the date of this

publication in the Federal Register.

(This activity is listed in the Catalog of

Federal Domestic Assistance under No.

10.904, Watershed Protection and Flood

Prevention, and is subject to the provisions

of Executive Order 12372, which requires

intergovernmental consultation with State

and local officials.)

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Rural Housing Service

Notice of Request for Extension of a

Currently Approved Information

Collection

AGENCY: Rural Housing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed collection; comments

requested.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this

notice announces the Rural Housing

Service’s intention to request an

extension for a currently approved

information collection in support of the

program for Management and

Supervision of Multiple Family Housing

Borrowers and Grant Recipients.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be

received by July 23, 2001 to be assured

of consideration.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

James E. Vollmer, Multi-Family Housing

Portfolio Management Division, Rural

Housing Service, Room 1229, Stop 0782,

1400 Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20250, Telephone:

(202) 720–1060.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Management and Supervision of

Multiple Family Housing Borrowers and

Grant Recipients.

OMB Number: 0575–0033.

Expiration Date of Approval: August

31, 2001.

Type of Request: Extension of a

currently approved information

collection.

Abstract: The Rural Housing Service

(RHS) is authorized under sections 514,

515, 516, and 521 of Title V of the

Housing Act of 1949, as amended, to

provide loans and grants to eligible

recipients for the development of rental

housing in rural areas. Such multifamily housing (MFH) projects are

intended to meet the housing needs of

persons or families having very low to

moderate incomes, senior citizens, the

disabled, and domestic farm laborers.

RHS has the responsibility of assuring

the public that MFH projects financed

are managed and operated as mandated

by Congress. This regulation (7 CFR part

1930, subpart C) was issued to insure

consistent and proper management and

operation of projects financed with

MFH loan and grant funds. Minimal

requirements have been established as

deemed necessary to assure that

applicable laws and authorities are

carried out as intended.

With the provisions of this regulation,

RHS will be able to provide the

necessary guidance and supervision to

new and existing borrowers to assist in

the economical operation of their

projects. RHS must be able to assure

Congress and the general public that all

MFH projects will be operated as

economically as possible, for the

purposes for which they are intended,

and for the benefit of those they are

mandated to serve.

The required information is collected

on a project-by-project basis and is done

so in accordance with the amended

Housing Act of 1949, so that RHS can

provide guidance and be assured of

compliance with the terms and

conditions of loan, grant, and/or subsidy

agreements.

RHS will use the information

collected to identify financially

detrimental trends, poor management

practices, and potential problems before

they manifest themselves in the form of

loan delinquencies, unpaid operation

expenses, improper discriminatory

practices, or high vacancy rates. With

this information, RHS can assist the

borrower through consultation

(supervision) to improve the efficiency

of the project and its operation. RHS

supervision is especially critical during

the first year of operation. In addition,

the information provided is intended to

verify whether or not the borrower is

complying with the terms and

conditions of loan, grant, or subsidy

agreements. After the first year of

operation, the information is requested

of the borrower to assure continued

compliance with the loan and grant

agreements.

Failure by RHS to monitor progress of

borrower operation through review of

collected information and consultation

would reasonably lead to

noncompliance with statutory intent in

some instances and financial default in

others. Corrective action to remove such

noncompliance or default would be

costly to RHS and the public in terms

of program integrity, public confidence,

dollars, and staff time.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated to average .90 hours per

response.

Respondents: Individuals or

households.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

18,200 borrowers, 420,000 tenants and

100,000 tenant applicant respondents.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 4.43.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 2,143,740 hours.

can be obtained from Tracy Gillin,

RPMB analyst, Regulations and

Paperwork Management Branch, at (202)

is necessary for the proper performance

Solid Agricultural Grade Ammonium

Nitrate from Ukraine: Postponement of

Final Determination and Extension of

Provisional Measures of Antidumping

Duty Investigation

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of postponement of final

antidumping duty determination and

extension of provisional measures: solid

agricultural grade ammonium nitrate

from Ukraine.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 22, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jarrod Goldfeder at (202) 482–0189, AD/

Trade Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th Street and

Constitution Avenue NW, Washington,

DC 20230.

Postponement of Final Determination

The Department of Commerce (the

Department) is postponing the final

determination in the antidumping duty

investigation of solid agricultural grade

ammonium nitrate from Ukraine.

On March 5, 2001, the Department

published its preliminary determination

in this investigation. See Notice of

Preliminary Determination of Sales at

Less Than Fair Value: Solid Agricultural

Grade Ammonium Nitrate from

Ukraine, 66 FR 13286 (‘‘Preliminary

Notice’’). The Preliminary Notice stated

that, based on a proper request by Stock

Holding Company Concern ‘‘Stirol’’

(‘‘Stirol’’), the Department was

postponing the final determination by

30 days and, therefore, would issue its

final determination no later than 105

days after the date of issuance of the

notice (see Preliminary Notice, 66 FR at

13287).

Pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(A) of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),

on May 14, 2001, Stirol, the sole

participating respondent in the

investigation, requested that the

Department postpone its final

determination by an additional 30 days.

Stirol further requested that the

Department extend to not more than six

months the application of the

provisional measures prescribed under

paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 733(d)

of the Act. In accordance with section

735(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b),

because (1) the preliminary

determination in this case is affirmative,

(2) the request for postponement was

submitted in writing by an exporter who

accounts for a significant proportion of

exports of the subject merchandise in

this investigation, and (3) no compelling

reason for denial exists, we are

postponing the final determination until

no later than 135 days after the

publication of the preliminary

determination in the Federal Register (i.e.,

until no later than July 18, 2001).

Suspension of liquidation will be

extended accordingly.

This extension is in accordance with

section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19

CFR 351.210(b)(2).

Dated: May 17, 2001.

made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the

Agreements Act.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary

Results

On January 12, 2001, we published an

extension of the preliminary results by

90 days. See 66 FR 2884. Because of the

complex issues enumerated in the

Limit for the Preliminary Results of

Administrative Review of Certain

Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils

from Taiwan, on file in the Central

find that it is not practicable to
