Rural Housing Service 

Title: 7 CFR part 3565, ‘‘Guaranteed 

Rural Rental Housing Program’’ and Its’ 

Supporting Handbook. 

OMB Control Number: 0575–0174. 

Summary of Collection: On March 28, 

1996, the Housing Opportunity Program 

Extension Act of 1996 was signed. One 

of the provisions of the Act was the 

authorization of the section 538 

Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing 

Program (GRRHP), adding the program 

to the Housing Act of 1949. The purpose 

of the GRRHP is to increase the supply 

of affordable rural rental housing 

through the use of loan guarantees that 

encourage partnerships between the 

Rural Housing Service (RHS), private 

lenders and public agencies. RUS will 

approve qualified lenders to participate 

and monitor lender performance to 

ensure program requirements are met. 

RHS will collect information from 

lenders on the eligibility cost, benefits, 

feasibility, and financial performance of 

the proposed project. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

RHS will collect information from 

lenders to manage, plan, evaluate, and 

account for Government resources and 

from time to time, propose 

demonstration programs that use loan 

guarantees or interest credit. The 

GRRHP regulation and handbook will 

provide lenders and agency staff with 

guidance on the origination, and 

servicing of GRRHP loans and the 

approval of qualified lenders. RHS will 

use the information to evaluate a 

lender’s request and make 

determination that the interests of the 

government are protected. Failure to 

collect information could have an 

adverse impact on the agency ability to 

monitor lenders and assess program 

effectiveness and effectively guarantee 

loans. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; Not-for-profit 

Institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 160. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Communicable Diseases in 

Horses. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0127. 

Type of Request: Revision to and 

extension of approval of an information 

collection. 

Abstract: Under the authority of the 

Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 

8301 et seq.), the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

regulates the importation and interstate 

movement of animals and animal 

products, and conducts various other 

activities to protect the health of U.S. 

livestock and poultry. 

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is an 

infectious and potentially fatal viral 

disease of equines. There is no vaccine 

or treatment for the disease. Regulations 

in 9 CFR part 71 provide for the 

approval of laboratories, diagnostic 

facilities, and research facilities, 

including those that test for EIA. The 

regulations in 9 CFR part 75 govern the 

interstate movement of equines that 

have tested positive to an official test for 

EIA (EIA reactors). Identifying EIApositive animals through laboratory 

testing and ensuring the safe movement 

of those equines testing positive for EIA 

requires several information collection 

activities. 

APHIS regulations require 

laboratories conducting an official EIA 

test to be approved by the APHIS 

Administrator, in consultation with the 

appropriate State animal health 

officials. Information collection 

activities associated with that approval 

process include a laboratory application 

and a director’s agreement, collecting 

the name of the director, location, 

laboratory facilities, available resources, 

and the training and proficiency of 

employees. Additional information 

collection activities include written 

notification of withdrawal of approval 

and a request for hearing. This 

information helps APHIS determine a 

laboratory’s capacity to conduct 

accurate and reliable testing and to meet 

the requirements in the regulations. To 

receive and maintain approval, a 

laboratory must report positive test 

results, provide monthly reports, and 

undergo regular inspections. 

Additional information collection 

occurs on the EIA laboratory test form, 

on a permit for the interstate movement 

of an EIA reactor, and on a 

supplemental disease investigation form 

for animals testing positive for EIA. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities, as described, for an 

additional 3 years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate 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; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 0.08 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Producers, 

veterinarians, State veterinarians, and 

approved EIA laboratory directors. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 235,018. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 5. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 1,157,148. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 93,030 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Done in Washington, DC, this this 8th day 

of February 2021.

Administrator, Animal and Plant Health
