Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information collection package. Abstract: USDA Rural Development, through the Rural Utilities Service, makes mortgage loans and loan guarantees to electric systems to provide and improve electric service in rural areas pursuant to the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as amended (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.) (RE Act). This information collection requirement stems from passage of Public Law 104– 127, on April 4, 1996, which amended section 331(b) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1921 et seq.) to extend to USDA Rural Development the Secretary of Agriculture’s authority to settle debts with respect to loans made or guaranteed by USDA Rural Development. Only those electric borrowers that are unable to fully repay their debts to the Government and who apply to USDA Rural Development for relief will be affected by this information collection. The collection will require only that information which is essential for determining: the need for debt settlement; the amount of relief that is needed; the amount of debt that can be repaid; the scheduling of debt repayment; and, the range of opportunities for enhancing the amount of debt that can be recovered. The information to be collected will be similar to that which any prudent lender would require to determine whether debt settlement is required and the amount of relief that is needed. Since the need for relief is expected to vary substantially from case to case, so will the required information collection. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting for this collection of information is estimated to average 3,000 hours per response. Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions and other businesses. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 3,000 hours.
