Title: 7 CFR 1901—Common Forms
Package for Civil Rights Forms
OMB Number: 0575–New.
Expiration Date of Approval: Three
years from approval date.
Type of Request: New information
collection.
Abstract: The information collection
under OMB Number 0575-New will
enable the Agencies to effectively
monitor a recipient’s compliance with
the civil rights laws, and to determine
whether or not service and benefits are
being provided to beneficiaries on an
equal opportunity basis.
The Agencies are required to provide
Federal financial assistance through its
housing and community and business
programs on an equal opportunity basis.
The laws implemented in 7 CFR part
1901, subpart E, require the recipients of
RD Federal financial assistance to
collect various types of information,
including information on participants in
certain of these agencies’ programs, by
race, color, and national origin.
The information collected and
maintained by the recipients of certain
programs in RD are used internally by
the agency for monitoring compliance
with the civil rights laws and
regulations. This information is made
available to USDA officials, officials of
other Federal agencies, and to Congress
for reporting purposes. Without the
required information, RD and its
recipients will lack the necessary
documentation to demonstrate that their
programs are being administered in a
nondiscriminatory manner, and in full
compliance with the civil rights laws. In
addition, the Agency and their
recipients would be vulnerable in
lawsuits alleging discrimination in the
affected programs of these agencies, and
would be without appropriate data and
documentation to defend themselves by
demonstrating that services and benefits
are being provided to beneficiaries on
an equal opportunity basis.
Estimate of Burden: RD is requesting
approval for one respondent and a onehour place holder in order for OMB to
issue a control number for these forms.
The burden for each of the forms will
be accounted for within the individual
Rural Development program collection
packages using the form(s).
Respondents: Recipients of Rural
Development Federal financial
assistance, loan, and loan guarantee
programs.
