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), hereinafter referred to as the
‘‘Agency,’’ is a credit agency for the
Rural Housing Service of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. The Agency
offers supervised credit programs to
build modest housing and essential
community facilities in rural areas. This
regulation prescribes the policy
necessary to process Rural Housing loan
guarantees to low- and moderate-income
applicants. Section 517 (d) of Title V of
the Housing Act of 1949, as amended,
provides the authority for the Secretary
of Agriculture 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 purpose of the Single-Family
Housing Guaranteed Loan Program
(SFHGLP) is to assist low and moderateincome individuals and families in
acquiring or constructing a single-family
residence in designated rural areas with
loans originated and serviced by private
lenders. Eligibility for this program
includes very low, low, and moderateincome families or persons whose
income does not exceed 115 percent of
the median income for the area, as
determined by the Secretary.
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.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 2,520.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
Monthly; Quarterly; Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 1,327,476.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Standard Reinsurance Agreement;
Appendices I, II and IV.
OMB Number: 0563–0069.
Type of Request: Renewal and
Revision of current Information
Collection.
Abstract: The Federal Crop Insurance
Act (Act), Title 7 U.S.C. Chapter 36,
Section 1508(k), authorizes the FCIC to
provide reinsurance to insurers
approved by FCIC that insure producers
of any agricultural commodity under
one or more plans acceptable to FCIC.
The Act also states that the reinsurance
shall be provided on such terms and
conditions as the Board may determine
to be consistent with subsections (b) and
(c) of this section and sound reinsurance
principles.
FCIC executes the same form of
reinsurance agreement, called the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
23:25 Dec 10, 2020
Jkt 253001
Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA),
with fourteen participating insurers
approved for the 2021 reinsurance year.
Appendix I of the SRA, Regulatory
Duties and Responsibilities, sets forth
the company’s responsibilities as
required by statute. Appendix I
includes; a) Conflict of Interest data
collection, which in addition to the
insurance companies reinsured by FCIC,
encompasses the insurance companies’
employees and their contracted agents
and loss adjusters; and b) Controlled
Business data collection from all
employed or contracted agents.
Appendix II of the SRA, the Plan of
Operations (Plan), sets forth the
information the insurer is required to
file with RMA for each reinsurance year
they wish to participate. The Plan’s
information enables RMA to evaluate
the insurer’s financial and operational
capability to deliver the crop insurance
program in accordance with the Act.
Estimated premiums by fund by state,
and retained percentages along with
current policyholders surplus are used
in calculations to determine whether to
approve the insurer’s requested
maximum reinsurable premium volume
for the reinsurance year per 7 CFR 400
Subpart L. This information has a direct
effect upon the insurer’s amount of
retained premium and associated
liability and is required to calculate the
insurer’s underwriting gain or loss.
Appendix IV of the SRA, Quality
Control and Program Integrity,
establishes the minimum annual agent
and loss adjuster training requirements,
and quality control review procedures
and performance standards required of
the insurance companies. FCIC requires
each insurer to submit, for each
reinsurance year, a Quality Control
Report to FCIC containing details of the
results of their completed reviews. The
insurance companies must also provide
an annual Training and Performance
Evaluation Report which details the
evaluation of each agent and loss
adjuster and reports of any remedial
actions taken by the Company to correct
any error or omission or ensure
compliance with the SRA. The
submission of these reports is included
in Appendix II.
FCIC is requesting the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
extend the approval of this information
collection for an additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public concerning
the continuation of the current
information collection activity as
associated with the SRA in effect for the
2021 and subsequent reinsurance years.
These comments will help us:

On June 29, 2016, FSIS published the
final rule, ‘‘Electronic Export
Application and Certification Charge;
Flexibility in the Requirements for
Export Inspection Marks, Devices, and

preamble to the final rule explained that
FSIS would implement an electronic
export application and certification
system available through the Agency’s
Public Health Information System

manage their export applications. To
cover the costs of providing this service,
the final rule established a formulabased fee for electronic export
applications. The final rule stated that,
on an annual basis, the Agency would
update the fee and publish the new fee
in the Federal Register.
On September 6, 2017, FSIS
