Title: Servicing of Water Programs
Loans and Grants.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0137.
Summary of Collection: Authority for
servicing of Water Programs Loan and
Grants is contained in Section 306e of
the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act, as amended. The
information collected covers loan and
grant servicing regulations, 7 CFR part
1782, which prescribes policies and
responsibilities for servicing actions
necessary in connection with Water and
Environmental Programs (WEP) loans
and grants. WEP provides loans,
guaranteed loans and grants for water,
sewer, storm water, and solid waste
disposal facilities in rural areas and
towns of up to 10,000 people.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Rural Utilities Service will collect
information using various forms. The
collected information for the most part
is financial in nature and needed by the
Agency to determine if borrowers, based
on their individual situations, qualify
for the various servicing authorities.
Servicing actions become necessary due
to the development of financial or other
problems and may be initiated by either
a recipient which recognizes that a
problem exists and wished to resolve it,
or by the Agency. If a problem exists, a
recipient must furnish financial
information which is used to aid in
resolving the problem through reamortization, sale, transfer, debt
restructuring, liquidation, or other
means provided in the regulations.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; non-profit
institutions; State and local
governments.
