Rural Housing Service
Title: Single Family Housing
Guaranteed Loan Program.
OMB Control Number: 0575–0179.
Summary of Collection: The Housing
and Community Facilities Program
(HCFP), herein referred to as the
‘‘Agency,’’ is a credit agency for the
Rural Housing Service (RHS) of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. The Agency
offers supervised credit programs to
build modest housing and essential
community facilities in rural areas.
Section 517(d) of Title V of the Housing
Act of 1949, as amended, provides the
authority for the Secretary to issue loan
guarantees for the acquisition of new or
existing dwellings and related facilities
to provide decent, safe, and sanitary
living conditions and other structures in
rural areas. The Single Family Housing
Guaranteed Loan Program (SFHGLP)
was authorized under the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing
Act. The purpose of SFHGLP is to assist
low and moderate-income individuals
and families in acquiring or
constructing a single-family residence in
a rural area with loans made by private
lenders.
Need and Use of the Information:
Information is collected from both a
potential homebuyer and lender. To
participate in the program, lenders must
submit to standards which ensure the
loan objectives of the SFHGLP are met.
The lender submits qualifications to the
Agency and enters into an agreement
that outlines both the lender and
Agency’s commitments and
responsibilities under the guaranteed
program. Information from a homebuyer
includes financial documents such as
confirmation of household income,
assets and liabilities, a credit record,
evidence the homebuyer has adequate
repayment ability for the loan amount
requested and if the condition and
location of the property meet program
guidelines. All information collected is
vital for the Agency to determine if
borrowers qualify for all assistance for
which they are eligible.

Service
Title: Blood and Tissue Collection,

Marketing Establishments and Facilities.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0212.
Summary of Collection: The Animal
Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is
the primary Federal law governing the
protection of animal health. The AHPA
is contained in Title X, Subtitle E,
Sections 10401–18 of Public Law 107–
171, May 13, 2002, the Farm Security
and Rural Investment Act of 2002. As
part of its mission to monitor and test
for livestock diseases, the Department of
Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary
Services (VS), maintains with approved
slaughtering, rendering, and livestock
marketing establishments and facilities
agreements and procedures for animal
disease surveillance and reporting,
maintaining livestock movement
records, and collecting blood and tissue
samples.
These agreements and procedures
include information collection activities
such as Approved Livestock Facility

Denial of Agreement, Withdrawal of
Livestock Facility Agreements, Requests
for Appeal of Withdrawal of
Agreements, Listing Agreements for
Slaughter or Rendering Establishments,

Animal Notifications, Quarantine Signs,
and maintaining animal movement
records.
Need and Use of the Information: The
collection of this information identifies
and prevents the interstate movement of

Establish Livestock Facility Agreements
and Listing Agreements between APHIS
and owners and operators of
slaughtering and rendering

facilities, (2) rapidly confirm livestock
disease occurrences through reporting
and sampling, (3) trace the sources of

industries and export markets.
