the collection of information unless it

Rural Housing Service
Title: RD 3550–28, ‘‘Authorization
Agreement for Preauthorization
Payments’’; RD 1951–65, ‘‘Customer
Initiated Payments (CIP)’’ and RD 1951–
66, ‘‘Fedwire Worksheet’’.
OMB Control Number: 0575–0184.
Summary of Collection: Rural
Development (RD) uses electronic
methods for receiving and processing
loan payments and collections. These
electronic collection methods are
approved by Treasury and include
Preauthorized Debits (PAD), Customer
Initiated Payments (CIP), and FedWire.
These electronic collection methods
provide the borrower the ability to
submit their loan payments the day
prior to, or the day of their installment
due date. To administer these electronic
payment methods, RD will use
approved agency forms for collecting
financial institution routing
information. Form RD 3550–28,
Authorization Agreement for
Preauthorized Payments, is prepared by
the borrower to authorize RD to
electronically collect regular loan
payments from a borrower’s account at
a financial institution (FI) as
preauthorized debits. Form RD 1951–65,
is prepared by the borrower to enroll in
CIP. CIP is an electronic collection
method that enables borrowers to input
payment data to a contract bank via
telephone (touch tone and voice) or
computer terminal. Form RD 1951–66,
FedWire Worksheet, is completed by the
borrower to establish an electronic
FedWire format with their FI.
Need and Use of the Information: RD
will request that borrowers make
payments electronically via PAD, CIP,
or FedWire. The information is
collected only once unless the FI
routing information changes. If the
information were not collected, RD
would be unable to collect loan
payments electronically.
Description of Respondents: Not-forprofit institutions; business or other forprofit; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 4,991.
