Director, Program Development and 

Regulatory Analysis, USDA Rural 

Utilities Service, 1400 Independence 

Avenue SW., Stop 1522, Washington,

Title: 7 CFR part 1724, Electric 

Engineering, Architectural Services and 

Design Policies and Procedures. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0118. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: The Agency requires 

borrowers to use standard contract 

forms under certain circumstances. The 

use of standard forms helps assure the 

Agency that appropriate standards and 

specifications are maintained, that the 

Agency’s loan security is not adversely 

affected, and that loan and loan 

guarantee funds are used effectively and 

for the intended purpose. 

Standardization of forms by the Agency 

results in substantial savings to 

Borrowers. If standard forms were not 

used, borrowers would be required to 

prepare documents and the government 

would require extensively and costly 

review by both the Agency and the 

Office of General Counsel. The contract 

forms included in this collection of 

information are RUS Form 211, 

‘‘Engineering Service Contract for the 

Design and Construction of a Generating 

Plant,’’ RUS Form 220, ‘‘Architectural 

Services Contract,’’ and RUS Form 236, 

Engineering Service Contract, ‘‘Electric 

System Design and Construction.’’ 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 1.07 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Businesses, not-forprofit institutions and others. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

59. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 63 hours. 

Copies of this information collection 

can be obtained from Rebecca Hunt, 

Program Development and Regulatory 

Analysis, at (202) 205–3660. Fax: (202) 

720–3485. 

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.

ACTION: Notice and opportunity for 

public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Economic Development 

Administration (EDA) has received 

petitions for certification of eligibility to 

apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 

from the firms listed below. 

Accordingly, EDA has initiated 

investigations to determine whether 

increased imports into the United States 

of articles like or directly competitive 

with those produced by each of these 

firms contributed importantly to the 

total or partial separation of the firm’s 

workers, or threat thereof, and to a 

decrease in sales or production of each 

petitioning firm.
