Abstract
The Business and Industry (B&I)
program was legislated in 1972 under
section 310B of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act, as
amended. The purpose of the Business
and Industry Guaranteed Loan Program
is to improve, develop, or finance
business, industry, and employment
and to improve the economic and
environmental climate in rural
communities. This purpose is achieved
by bolstering the existing private credit
structure through the guarantee of
quality loans which will provide lasting
community benefits. The lender is
responsible for servicing the entire loan
and will remain mortgagee and secured
party of record notwithstanding the fact

that another party may hold a portion of
the loan. The B&I servicing regulations
are designed to provide regulatory
requirements for the lender to
adequately service these loans.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average .81 hours per
response.
Respondents: 3,450.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,450.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Number of Responses:
20,840.

clearance the following proposal for
collection of information under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: 2007 Economic Census
Classification Report for Construction,
Manufacturing, and Mining Sectors.
Form Number(s): NC–99026.
Agency Approval Number: None.
Type of Request: New collection.
Burden: 4,167 hours.
Number of Respondents: 50,000.
Avg Hours per Response: 5 minutes.
Needs and Uses: Accurate and
reliable industry codes are critical to the
U. S. Census Bureau’s economic
statistical programs. In order to provide
detailed industry data for the 2007
Economic Census and the Business
Register, the basic sampling frame for
many of our current surveys,
unclassified and partially classified
businesses must be assigned correct
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) codes. Only when
correct NAICS codes are assigned to
establishments can the Census Bureau
be assured that data are tabulated in the
correct detailed industry and ultimately
disseminated accurately.
The NC–99026 questionnaire will be
sent to a sample of partially classified
single-unit construction, manufacturing,
and mining establishments in 2006, the
year prior to the census. It is extremely
important to obtain a correct industry
classification for construction
establishments to ensure the sample
frame that is drawn for the economic
census is accurate. For many of the
manufacturing and mining
establishments, this is the only form
that they receive for the economic
census. During the 2007 Economic
Census, the NC–99026 questionnaire
will be used to collect information from
partially classified single-unit
manufacturing and mining
establishments that were not sampled in
2006.
Establishments that are only partially
classified could be misclassified in the
economic census without a complete
NAICS code. This refile operation will
determine a complete and reliable
classification in order to ensure the
establishment is tabulated in the correct
detailed industry for the 2007 Economic
Census. Although the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) provides industry codes
for establishments that they have
classified in their universe but which
are unclassified in the Business
Register, detailed industry classification
would still be missing for the remaining
units. If these establishments are not
mailed as part of the economic census,
