Rural Business-Cooperative Service
Title: 7 CFR 4287–B, Servicing
Business and Industry Guaranteed
Loans.
OMB Control Number: 0570–0016.
Summary of Collection: 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 Act).
The purpose of the B&I program, as
authorized by the Act, is to improve
economic and environmental climate in
rural communities, including pollution
abatement and control. This purpose is
achieved through bolstering the existing
private credit structure through the
guaranteeing of quality loans, which
will provide lasting community
benefits. The B&I program is
administered by the Rural Business
Service (RBS) through Rural
PO 00000

Development State and sub-State offices
serving each State. RBS will collect
information using various forms from
the lender and the borrower. This
information is vital for making prudent
financial decisions.
Need and Use of the Information: RBS
will collect information to monitor the
guaranteed loan portfolio to ensure that
the lenders are adequately servicing the
loans. RBS through its respective
Business Programs Divisions in
Washington, DC, and its 47 State Offices
throughout the United States will be the
primary users of the information
collected. If the information is not
collected, RBS would not be able to
make prudent credit decisions nor
would the Agency be able to effectively
monitor the lender’s servicing activities
and thus minimize losses under the
program.

Food and Nutrition Service
Title: A Study of Modernization of the
Food Stamp Program in Florida.
OMB Control Number: 0584–NEW.
Summary of Collection: Congress has
allocated funds for the purpose of
evaluating and collecting data on the
Food Stamp Program (FSP) as part of
section 17(a)(1) of the Food Stamp Act
of 1977, as amended through Public
Law 106–171, February 11, 2000. The
authorizing legislation states that ‘‘the
Secretary may, by way of making
contracts with or grants to public or
private organizations or agencies,
undertake research that will help
improve the administration and
effectiveness of the food stamp program
in delivering nutrition-relating
benefits.’’ The Study of Modernization
of the Food Stamp Program in Florida
has been approved under the FY 2006
research funds authorized by the
Congress. The Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS) is funding a case study of
ACCESS Florida to assess whether these
changes can be transferred to other
states, and to examine how these
changes might affect clients. The study
will look at outcomes associated with
ACCESS Florida and document the
process of modernizing the FSP in
Florida.
Need and Use of the Information:
This case study will identify all the
components of ACCESS Florida and
investigate the types of impact these
changes may have on program access
and costs. By collecting detailed
information from staff and clients, the
case study can explore each change’s
individual impact. Primary data
collection activities will include: (1) Inperson interviews with district and local
DCF officials, community partners, and
call center staff, along with observations
of program operations in three DCF
districts; (2) Telephone interviews with
district and local office staff and with
community partners in six districts; (3)
Four discussion groups with FSP
applicants, participants, and eligible
non-participants in each of the three
districts where in-person interviews are
conducted; (4) Reviews of
administrative data from state and
federal sources to identify potential FSP
performance impacts. Not conducting
this data collection would significantly
impede the USDA’s ability to
understand how ACCESS Florida is
affecting participant access, program
costs and errors in benefit
determination.
Description of Respondents: State,
local, or tribal government; Individual
or housholds; Not for-profit institutions.
