SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Farm Loan Programs, Direct
Loan Servicing—Special.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0233.
OMB Expiration Date: 08/31/2018.
Type of Request: Extension with a
revision.
Abstract: The Farm Loan Programs
provide loans to family farmers to
purchase real estate and equipment and
finance agricultural production. 7 CFR
766, Direct Loan Servicing-Special,
provides the requirements for servicing
financially distressed and delinquent
direct loan borrowers. The loan
servicing options include disaster setaside, primary loan servicing (including
reamortization, rescheduling, deferral,
write down and conservation contracts),
buyout at market value, and homestead
protection. FSA also services borrowers
who file bankruptcy or liquidate
security when available servicing
options are not sufficient to produce a
feasible plan. The information
collections contained in the regulation
are necessary to evaluate a borrower’s
request for consideration of the special
servicing actions.
The numbers of respondents and
responses increased because the loan
servicing activities increased by 15
percent to reflect the current numbers
since the last OMB approval. The
annual burden hours decreased due to
removal of travel times from the request.
The respondents are going to the County
office to do regular and customary (or
normal) business for the Farm Loan
Programs.
For the following estimated total
annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total
burden hour is the estimated average
time per response multiplied by the
estimated total annual responses.
Estimate of Respondent Burden:
Public reporting burden for this
information collection is estimated to
average 0.374 hours per response,
including the time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining the
data needed and completing and
reviewing the collections of
information.
Type of Respondents: Individuals or
households, businesses or other for
profit farms.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 17,174.
Estimated Number of Reponses per
Respondent: 1.869.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
32,114.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 0.374.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 12,036.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Farm Loan Programs, Direct Loan Servicing--Special.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0233.
OMB Expiration Date: 08/31/2018.
Type of Request: Extension with a revision.
Abstract: The Farm Loan Programs provide loans to family farmers to
purchase real estate and equipment and finance agricultural production.
7 CFR 766, Direct Loan Servicing-Special, provides the requirements for
servicing financially distressed and delinquent direct loan borrowers.
The loan servicing options include disaster set-aside, primary loan
servicing (including reamortization, rescheduling, deferral, write down
and conservation contracts), buyout at market value, and homestead
protection. FSA also services borrowers who file bankruptcy or
liquidate security when available servicing options are not sufficient
to produce a feasible plan. The information collections contained in
the regulation are necessary to evaluate a borrower's request for
consideration of the special servicing actions.
The numbers of respondents and responses increased because the loan
servicing activities increased by 15 percent to reflect the current
numbers since the last OMB approval. The annual burden hours decreased
due to removal of travel times from the request. The respondents are
going to the County office to do regular and customary (or normal)
business for the Farm Loan Programs.
For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total burden hour is the estimated
average time per response multiplied by the estimated total annual
responses.
Estimate of Respondent Burden: Public reporting burden for this
information collection is estimated to average 0.374 hours per
response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed and
completing and reviewing the collections of information.

We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information
collection to help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the FSA, including whether
the information will have practical utility;
