SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Farm Loan Programs; Direct
Loan Servicing—Special.
OMB Control Number: 0560–0233.
OMB Expiration Date: 09/31/2021.
Type of Request: Extension with
revision.
Abstract: FSA’s 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. FSA’s 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 annual burden hours and the
numbers of respondents and responses
increased because the loan servicing
activities increased slightly to reflect the
current numbers since the last OMB
approval.
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 0.38 hours per response to
include the time for reviewing
instructions, searching information,
gathering and maintaining information
the data and completing and reviewing
the collection of information.
Respondents: Individuals or
households, businesses or other for
profit farms.

Estimated Average Time per

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;

estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; or
(4) 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.
All comments received in response to
this notice, including names and
addresses when provided, will be a
matter of public record. Comments will
be summarized and included in the
