December 7, 2021.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are requested regarding: Whether the collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to 
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.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by January 
10, 2022 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Rural Housing Service

    Title: 7 CFR 1944-I, ``Self-Help Technical Assistance Grants.''
    OMB Control Number: 0575-0043.
    Summary of Collection: Authorized under Public Law 90-448, section 
523 of the Title 5 Housing Act of 1949, this regulation sets forth the 
policies and procedures and delegates the authority for providing 
technical assistance funds to eligible applicants to finance programs 
of technical and supervisory assistance for the Mutual and Self-Help 
Housing (MSH) program. The MSH program affords very low and low-income 
families the opportunity for home ownership by constructing their own 
homes. The MSH program provides funds to non-profit organizations for 
supervisory and technical assistance to the homebuilding families. 
Three types of funds are available under the MSH program: (1) Technical 
assistance grants, (2) Pre-development grants and (3) Site option 
loans.
    Need and Use of the Information: Rural Housing Service (RHS) will 
collect information from non-profit organizations that want to develop 
a MSH program in their area to increase the availability of affordable 
housing. The information is collected at the local, district and state 
levels. The information requested by RHS includes financial and 
organizational information about the non-profit organization. RHS needs 
this information to determine if the organization is capable of 
successfully carrying out the requirements of the MSH program. The 
information is collected on an as requested or needed basis. RHS has 
reviewed the program's need for the collection of information versus 
the burden placed on the public.
    Description of Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions; State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 70.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 2,380.
