SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: CCC Facility Guarantee Program (FGP).
OMB Number: 0551-0032.
Expiration Date of Approval: November 30, 2022.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Under the FGP, CCC provides payment guarantees to
facilitate the financing of manufactured goods and U.S. services to
improve or establish agriculture-related facilities in emerging
markets. By supporting such goods and services exports, the FGP is
designed to enhance sales of U.S. agricultural commodities and products
to emerging markets where the demand for such commodities and products
may be limited due to inadequate storage, processing, handling, or
distribution capabilities for such products.
The FGP is currently available in 84 countries. Under 7 CFR part
1493, U.S. sellers, foreign financial institutions (FFI), and U.S.
financial institutions (USFI) are required to submit the following: (1)
information about the seller, FFI, and USFI for program
[[Page 47385]]
participation; (2) applications for payment guarantees; (3)
environmental impact statement/assessment; (4) notice of assignment of
payment guarantee; (5) evidence of performance; (6) notice of default
and claims for loss; and (7) documents supporting dispute resolution
and appeals. In addition, each seller and seller's assignee (U.S.
financial institution) must maintain records on all information
submitted to CCC and in connection with sales made under FGP. The
information collected is used by CCC to manage, plan, evaluate, and
account for government resources. The reports and records are required
to ensure the proper and judicious use of public funds.
Estimate of Burden: The public reporting burden for these
collections is estimated to average 1.282 hours per response.
Type of Respondents: U.S. exporters (sellers), U.S. financial
institutions, and foreign financial institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 18 per year.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 15.6 per year.
Estimated Total Annual Burden of Respondents: 360.5 hours.
