Title: Review Rating Summary, RUS 

Form 300, 7 CFR Part 1730. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0025. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The RUS manages loan 

programs in accordance with the RE Act 

of 1936, as amended (7 U.S.C. 901 et 

seq. ). An important part of safeguarding 

loan security is to see that RUS financed 

facilities are being responsibly used, 

adequately operated, and adequately 

maintained. Future needs have to be 

anticipated to ensure that facilities will 

continue to produce revenue and that 

loans will be repaid as required by the 

RUS mortgage. A periodic operations 

and maintenance (O&M) review, using 

the RUS Form 300, in accordance with 

7 CFR Part 1730, is an effective means 

for RUS to determine whether the 

borrowers systems are being properly 

operated and maintained, thereby 

protecting the loan collateral. An O&M 

review is also used to rate facilities and 

can be used for appraisals of collateral 

as prescribed by OMB Circular A–129, 

Policies for Federal Credit Programs and 

Non-Tax Receivables. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 4 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

229. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 10. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 916 hours. 

Title: Use of Consultants Funded by 

Borrowers, 7 CFR Part 1789. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0115. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Section 18(c) of the Rural 

Electrification Act of 1936 (RE Act), as 

amended (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq. ) 

authorizes RUS to use consultants 

voluntarily funded by borrowers for 

financial, legal, engineering and other 

technical services. Consultants may be 

used to facilitate timely action on loan 

applications by borrowers for financial 

assistance and for approvals required by 

RUS, pursuant to the terms of 

outstanding loans, or otherwise. RUS 

may not require borrowers to fund 

consultants. The provision of section 

18(c) may be utilized only at the 

borrower’s request. This collection of

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 182 / Thursday, September 18, 2008 / Notices 54137 

information implements RUS policies 

and procedures for use of consultants 

funded by RUS borrowers to facilitate 

timely action on a borrower’s loan 

application for financial assistance and 

for RUS approvals. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

[Order No. 1571] 

Application for Subzone Status Not 

Approved 

Johnson Controls Battery Group, Inc. 

Yuma, Arizona 

Pursuant to its authority under the 

Foreign–Trade Zones Act, of June 18, 1934, 

as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), the 

Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the Board) 

adopts the following Order: 

Whereas, the Foreign–Trade Zones 

Act provides for ‘‘. . . the establishment 

. . . of foreign–trade zones in ports of 

entry of the United States, to expedite 

and encourage foreign commerce, and 

for other purposes,’’ and authorizes the 

Foreign–Trade Zones Board to grant to 

qualified corporations the privilege of 

establishing foreign–trade zones in or 

adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection ports of entry; 

Whereas, the Board’s regulations (15 

CFR Part 400) provide for the 

establishment of special–purpose 

subzones when existing zone facilities 

cannot serve the specific use involved, 

and when the activity results in a 

significant public benefit and is in the 

public interest; 

Whereas, the Yuma County Airport 

Authority, grantee of FTZ 219, has made 

application to the Board for authority to 

establish special–purpose subzone 

status at the lead–acid battery 

manufacturing facility of Johnson 

Controls Battery Group, Inc., located in 

Yuma, Arizona (FTZ Docket 48–2007, 

filed 09–28–07); 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment has been given in the Federal 

Register (72 FR 57287–57288, 10/09/ 

2007); and, 

Whereas, the Board adopts the 

findings and recommendations of the 

examiner’s report, and finds that the 

requirements of the FTZ Act and the 

Board’s regulations have not been 

satisfied and that approval of the 

application would not be in the public 

interest; 

Now, therefore, the Board hereby does 

not approve the application for subzone 

status at the lead–acid battery 

manufacturing facility of Johnson 

Controls Battery Group, Inc., located in 

Yuma, Arizona.
