Title: 7 CFR part 1951, subpart F, Analyzing Credit Needs and Graduation of Borrowers. OMB Control Number: 0575–0093. Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: Section 333 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (CONACT) (7 U.S.C. 1983) requires the Agencies to ‘‘graduate’’ their direct loan borrowers to other credit when they are able to do so. Graduation is required because the Government loans are not to be extended beyond a borrower’s need for subsidized rates or Government credit. Borrowers must refinance their direct Government loan when other credit becomes available at reasonable rates and terms. If other credit is not available, the Agencies will continue to review the account for possible graduation at periodic intervals. The information collected to carry out these statutory mandates is financial data such as amount of income, operating expenses, asset values and liabilities. This information collection is then submitted by the Agencies to private creditors. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2 hours per response. Respondents: Public bodies, Not for Profits, or Indian Tribes. Estimated Number of Respondents: 575. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 585. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,160.

Title: Review Rating Summary, RUS Form 300, 7 CFR part 1730. OMB Control Number: 0572–0025. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: RUS manages loan programs in accordance with the RE Act of 1936, as amended (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.). An important part of safeguarding loan security is to see that RUS financed facilities are being responsibly used, adequately operated, and adequately maintained. Future needs must be anticipated to ensure that facilities will continue to produce revenue and loans will be repaid as required by the RUS mortgage. A periodic operations and maintenance (O&M) review, using the RUS Form 300, in accordance with 7 CFR part 1730, is an effective means for RUS to determine whether the Borrower’s systems are being properly operated and maintained, thereby protecting the loan collateral. The O&M review is also used to rate facilities and can be used for appraisals of collateral as prescribed by OMB Circular A–129, Policies for Federal Credit Programs and Non-Taxable Receivables. Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4 hours per response. Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions. Estimated Number of Respondents: 217. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 868.
