Title: 7 CFR Part 1717, Settlement of
Debt Owed by Electric Borrowers.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0116.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection package.
Abstract: 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 RUS the
Secretary of Agriculture’s authority to
settle debts with respect to loans made
or guaranteed by RUS. Only those
electric borrowers that are unable to
fully repay their debts to the
Government and who apply to RUS 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 2,000 hours per
response.
