The Act also authorizes the Secretary to pay the holder of a guaranteed loan the difference between the rate of interest paid by the borrower and the market rate of interest. The purpose of the program is to assist low and moderate income individuals and families acquire or construct a single family residence in a rural area with loans made by private lenders. Eligibility for this program includes low- and moderate-income families or persons whose income does not exceed 115 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by the Secretary. The Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program (SFHGLP) was authorized under the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing Act and the Agency issued a final rule implementing the SFHGLP on April 17, 1991, before departmental reorganization. The program began as a pilot program in 20 States on May 17, 1991. In 1992, the SFHGLP was offered on a nationwide basis. During the implementation process, the Agency looked for ways to improve the program and make it more user friendly. The Agency recognized the need to make its program even more compatible with the existing structure of the mortgage lending community. On May 22, 1995, the Agency published the final rule incorporating the needed changes to encourage greater participation by lenders and the secondary market for mortgage loans. The information requested by the Agency includes borrower financial information such as household income, assets and liabilities, and monthly expenses. All information collected is vital for the Agency to determine if borrowers qualify for and assure they receive all assistance for which they are eligible. Information requested on lenders is required to ensure lenders are eligible to participate in the SFHGLP. Lender requirements are in compliance with OMB Circular A–129.

Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden: 5,100. Number of Respondents: 1,700. Avg Hours per Response: 15 minutes. Needs and Uses: The U.S. Census Bureau requests an extension of the currently approved collection for the Monthly Survey of Residential Alterations and Repairs. The Census Bureau is responsible for preparing estimates of the expenditures for residential improvement and repairs. This segment of the construction industry amounted to more than $198 billion in 2004. While the majority of the data are gathered from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (OMB number 1220–0050), a portion of the data ($55 billion in 2004) are collected on the SORAR–705 form. This survey is mailed to a sample of owners of rental or vacant residential properties. Since residential improvement and repairs are a large and growing economic sector, any measure of the construction industry would be incomplete without the inclusion of these data. The Census Bureau uses the information collected on Form SORAR– 705 to publish improvement and repair expenditures for rental and vacant residential properties. Data on improvements and repairs to owneroccupied properties are collected in the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Combined published estimates are used by a variety of private businesses and trade associations for marketing studies, economic forecasts and assessments of E:\FR\FM\28JNN1.SGM 28JNN1
