An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

Foreign Agricultural Service
Title: CCC’s Facility Guarantee
Program (FGP).
OMB Control Number: 0551–0032.
Summary of Collection: The
Commodity Credit Corporation’s (CCC)
Facility Guarantee Program (FGP) offers
credit guarantees to facilitate the
financing of U.S. manufactured goods
and services to improve or establish
agricultural infrastructure and/or
facilities in emerging markets, with the
goal of increasing U.S. agricultural
commodity exports. Sales under FGP
are considered normal commercial
sales.
Under the authority of 7 CFR part
1493, subpart C, the Facility Guarantee
Program (FGP) offers credit guarantees
to facilitate the financing of U.S.
manufactured goods and services to
improve or establish agriculture
infrastructure in emerging markets.
Sales under FGP are considered normal
commercial sales. The Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS) will collect
information in a letter format via mail
or facsimile.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collection is necessary to
enable sellers and U.S. and foreign
financial institutions to receive the
benefits of the program. FAS will collect
information to determine eligibility for
FGP benefits and to ensure CCC that all
participants have a business office in
the U.S. and are not debarred or
suspended from participating in
government programs. FAS will use the
application to determine a project’s
eligibility for FGP coverage and to
determine the impact on U.S.
agricultural trade. The information
requested will provide CCC with
adequate information to meet statutory
requirements.
If the information were not collected
CCC would be unable to determine if
export sales under the FGP would be
eligible for coverage or if coverage
conformed to program requirementsthus making CCC unable to ensure
appropriate and efficient use of
government resources.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 18.

Title: Fertilizer Production Expansion
Program.
OMB Control Number: 0570–0081.
Type of Request: New information
collection.
Abstract: The Rural BusinessCooperative Service administers the
Fertilizer Production Expansion
Program (FPEP). The purpose of the
program is to expand capacity, improve
competition, and increase supply chain
resilience within the agricultural
fertilizer and nutrient management
sector, in connection with the
production of agricultural commodities.
To meet its purpose, FPEP will support
the production of agricultural
commodities through the manufacturing
and processing of fertilizer and nutrient
alternatives that are:
• Independent and outside the
dominant fertilizer suppliers—The goal
is to increase domestic competition.
Consequently, entities that hold a
Market Share (in either production or
distribution) that is greater than or equal
to the entity that holds the fourth largest
share of the market for nitrogen,
phosphate, or potash, or any
combination therefore, will not be
considered for funding;
• Made in America—Produced within
Tribal Lands or in the U.S. and its
territories by entities operating within
Tribal Lands or in the U.S. and its
territories, creating good-paying jobs at
home, and reducing the reliance on
potentially unstable or inconsistent
foreign supplies;
• Innovative—To improve upon
fertilizer production methods and
efficient-use technologies to jump start
the next generation of fertilizers and
nutrient alternatives;
• Sustainable—Reduces the
greenhouse gas impact of transportation,
production, and use through renewable
energy sources, feedstocks,
formulations, and incentivizing greater
precision in fertilizer use; and
• Farmer-focused—Like other CCC
investments, a driving factor will be
making sure the additional domestic
capacity supported by USDA is
dedicated to U.S. agricultural
commodity production.
The reporting burden covered by this
collection of information consists of
forms, documents and written burden to
support a request for funding for an
FPEP grant. This information collection
will be used to obtain information
necessary to evaluate grant applications
to determine the eligibility of the
applicant and the project for the
program and to qualitatively assess the
project’s technical and financial merit to
determine which projects should be
funded.
