Rural Housing Service
Title: 7 CFR 1951-F, Analyzing Credit Needs and Graduation Review.
OMB Control Number: 0575-0093.
Summary of Collection: Section 333 of the Consolidated Farm and
Rural Development Act and Section 502 of the Housing Act of 1949,
requires the Rural Housing Service (RHS), to graduate their direct loan
borrowers to other credit when they are able to do so. Graduation is an
integral part of Agency lending, as Government loans are not meant to
be extended beyond a borrower's need for subsidized rates of non-market
terms. The notes, security instruments, or loan agreements of most
borrowers require borrowers to refinance their Agency loans when other
credit becomes available at reasonable rates and terns. If the borrower
finds other credit is not available at reasonable rates and terms, the
Agency will continue to review the borrower for possible graduation at
periodic intervals. Information will be collected from the borrowers
concerning their loans.
Need and Use of the Information: The information submitted by RHS
borrowers to Agency offices is used to graduate direct borrowers to
private credit with or without the use of Agency loan guarantees. At
minimum, the financial information must include a balance sheet and an
income statement. Other financial data collected will include
information such as income, farm operating expenses, asset values, and
liabilities.
Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit;
State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 210.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 430.
