the United States could cause 

substantial reductions in pollination by 

bees. These reductions could cause 

serious damage to crops and other 

plants and result in substantial financial 

losses to American agriculture. 

Regulations for the importation of 

honeybees and honeybee semen and 

regulations to prevent the introduction 

of exotic bee diseases and parasites 

through the importation of bees other 

than honeybees, certain beekeeping 

products, and used beekeeping 

equipment are contained in 7 CFR part 

322, ‘‘Bees, Beekeeping Byproducts, and 

Beekeeping Equipment.’’ These 

regulations require the use of certain 

information collection activities, 

including an application for a permit, 

request for risk assessment, request for 

facility approval, written agreement to 

permit conditions, emergency action 

notification, appealing the denial of 

permit applications or revocation of 

permits, interstate transit 

documentation, packaging and labeling, 

recordkeeping for containment facilities, 

notices of arrival for shipments from 

approved regions, transit shipments, 

port of entry inspections, and 

notification of escaped organisms. 

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 

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 

information collection, 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 

information collection 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 0.24 

hours per response. 

Respondents: Importers, exporters, 

and shippers of bees and related 

articles; foreign governments; and 

containment facilities. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 18. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 12. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 210. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 50 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 6th day of 

September 2017.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant

Expiration Date of Approval: January 

31, 2018.

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Rural Development uses 

electronic methods (Customer Initiated 

Payments [CIP], FedWire, and 

Preauthorized Debits [PAD]) for 

receiving and processing loan payments 

and collections. These electronic 

collection methods provide a means for 

Rural Development borrowers to 

transmit loan payments from their 

financial institution (FI) accounts to 

Rural Development’s Treasury Account 

and receive credit for their payments. 

To administer these electronic loan 

collection methods, Rural Development 

collects the borrower’s FI routing 

information (routing information 

includes the FI routing number and the 

borrower’s account number). Rural 

Development uses Agency approved 

forms for collecting bank routing 

information for CIP, FedWire, and PAD. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average .33 hours per 

response. Each Rural Development 

borrower who elects to participate in 

electronic loan payments will only 

prepare one response for the life of their 

loan unless they change financial 

institutions or accounts. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions; and 

State, Local, or Tribal Government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

8660. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

8,660. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 4,230 hours.
