Act of 1949, as amended, authorizes the

Secretary of Agriculture to extend
financial assistance to construct,
improve, alter, repair, replace, or
rehabilitate dwellings; farm buildings;
and/or related facilities to provide
decent, safe, and sanitary living
conditions, as well as adequate farm
buildings and other structures in rural
areas.
Section 506 of the Act requires that all
new buildings and repairs shall be
constructed in accordance with plans
and specifications as required by the
Secretary and that such construction be
supervised and inspected.
Section 509 of the Act grants the
Secretary the power to determine and
prescribe the standards of adequate farm
housing and other buildings. The
Housing and Urban Rural Recovery Act
of 1983 amended section 509(a) and
section 515 to require residential
buildings and related facilities to
comply with the standards prescribed
by the Secretary of Agriculture, the
standard prescribed by the Secretary of
Housing and Urban Development, or the
standards prescribed in any of the
nationally recognized model building
codes.
Similar authorizations are contained
in sections 303, 304, 306, and 339 of the
Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act, as amended, which
authorized loans and grants for essential
community services.
In several sections of both acts, loan
limitations are established as
percentages of development cost,
requiring careful monitoring of those
costs. Also, the Secretary is authorized
to prescribe regulations to ensure that
Federal funds are not wasted or
dissipated and that construction will be
undertaken in an economic manner and
will not be of elaborate or extravagant
design or materials.
The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is
the credit Agency for rural water and
wastewater development within Rural
Development of the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA). The
Rural-Business-Cooperative Service
(RBS) is the credit Agency for rural
business development within Rural
Development of USDA. These Agencies
adopted use of forms in RD Instruction
1924–A. Information for their usage is
included in this report.
Other information collection is
required to conform to numerous Pubic
Laws applying to all Federal agencies,
such as: Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and
1968, Davis-Bacon Act, Historic
Preservation Act, Environmental Policy
Act, and to conform to Executive Orders
governing use of Federal funds. This
information is cleared through the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

appropriate enforcing Agency or other
executive Departments.
The Agencies provide forms and/or
guidelines to assist in the collection and
submission of information; however,
most of the information may be
collected and submitted in the form and
content which is accepted and typically
used in normal conduct of planning and
performing development work in
private industry when a private lender
is financing the activity. The
information is usually submitted via
hand delivery or U.S. Postal Service to
the appropriate Agency office.
Electronic submittal of information is
also possible through email or USDA’s
Service Center eForms Web site.
The information is used by the
Agencies to determine whether a loan/
grant can be approved, to ensure that
the Agency has adequate security for the
loans financed, to provide for sound
construction and development work,
and to determine that the requirements
of the applicable acts have been met.
The information is also used to monitor
compliance with the terms and
conditions of the Agencies’ loan/grant
programs and to monitor the prudent
use of Federal funds.
If the information were not collected
and submitted, the Agencies would not
have control over the type and quality
of construction and development work
planned and performed with Federal
funds. The Agencies would not be
assured that the security provided for
loans is adequate, nor would the
Agencies be certain that decent, safe,
and sanitary dwelling or other adequate
structures were being provided to rural
residents as required by the different
acts.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average .31 hours per
response.
Respondents: Individuals or
households, farms, business or other forprofit, non-profit institutions, and small
businesses or organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
14,448.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 13.
Estimated Number of Responses:
193,847.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 60,476 hours.
Copies of this information collection
can be obtained from Jeanne Jacobs,
Regulations and Paperwork
Management Branch, at (202) 692–0040.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the function of the
Agencies, including whether the

(b) the accuracy of the Agencies’
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of methodology and
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
