Title: RUS Electric Loan Application 

and Related Reporting. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0032. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

existing information collection. 

Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service 

(RUS) was established in 1994 by the 

Federal Crop Insurance Reform and 

Department of Agriculture 

Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 

103–354, 108 Stat. 3178, 7 U.S.C. 6941 

et. seq.) as successor to the Rural 

Electrification Administration (REA) 

with respect to certain programs, 

including the electric loan and loan 

guarantee program authorized under the 

Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 

U.S.C. 901 et seq., as amended) (RE 

Act). 

The RE Act authorizes and empowers 

the Administrator of RUS to make and 

guarantee loans to furnish and improve 

electric service in rural areas. These 

loans are amortized over a period of up 

to 35 years and secured by the 

borrower’s electric assets and/or 

revenue. In the interest of protecting 

loan security, monitoring compliance 

with debt covenants, and ensuring that 

RUS loan funds are used for purposes 

authorized by law, RUS requires that 

borrowers prepare and submit for RUS 

evaluation certain studies and reports. 

Some of these studies and reports are 

required only once for each loan 

application; others must be submitted 

periodically until the loan is completely 

repaid. These forms and documents 

serve as support for electric loan 

applications and summarizes the types 

and estimated costs of facilities and 

equipment for which RUS financing is 

being requested. 

The RE Act also authorizes and 

empowers the Administrator of RUS to 

make or cause to be made, studies, 

investigations, and reports concerning 

the condition and progress of the 

electrification of the several States and 

Territories; and to publish and 

disseminate information with respect 

thereto. Information supplied by 

borrowers forms the basis of many of 

these reports. 

In the past two years, RUS has 

implemented an application intake 

system called RDApply that allows 

applicants to create an online 

application for RUS loans and grants as 

well upload attachments, sign

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 182 / Thursday, September 21, 2017 / Notices 44159 

certifications, and draw service areas, to 

name a few features. RDApply 

streamlines the application process, as 

well as provides identity security, 

reduces paper consumption and is 

expected to reduce the burden 

associated with this information 

collection package over time. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 16.10 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Not for profit 

organizations, business or other for 

profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

625. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 5.19. 

Estimated Annual Responses: 3245. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 52,239 hours. 

Copies of this information collection, 

and related forms and instructions, can

Analysis, at (202) 720–7853. All 

responses to this notice will be

Estee Lauder Inc. (Estee Lauder) 

submitted a notification of proposed 

production activity to the FTZ Board for 

its facilities in Bristol and Trevose, 

Pennsylvania, under FTZ 35. The 

notification conforming to the 

requirements of the regulations of the 

FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on August 30, 2017. 

Estee Lauder indicates that it 

submitted a separate application for 

usage-driven FTZ site designation at its 

facilities under FTZ 35. The facilities 

will be used for production of skin care, 

fragrance, and cosmetic products. 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ 

activity would be limited to the specific 

foreign-status materials and components 

and specific finished products described 

in the submitted notification (as

authorized by the FTZ Board. 

Production under FTZ procedures 

could exempt Estee Lauder from
