Rural Housing Service 

Title: 7 CFR 1942–A, Community 

Facility Loans. 

OMB Control Number: 0575–0015. 

Summary of Collection: The Rural 

Housing Service (RUS) is a credit 

agency within the Rural Development 

mission area of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (USDA). The Community 

Programs Division of the RHS 

administers the Community Facilities 

program under 7 CFR part 1942, subpart 

A. Rural Development provides loan 

and grant funds through the Community 

Facilities program to finance many 

types of projects varying in size and 

complexity, from large general hospitals 

to small fire trucks. The facilities 

financed are designed to promote the 

development of rural communities by 

providing the infrastructure necessary to 

attract residents and rural jobs. RUS will 

collect information using several forms. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

RUS will collect information to 

determine applicant/borrower 

eligibility, project feasibility, and to 

ensure borrowers operate on a sound 

basis and use loan and grant funds for 

authorized purposes. Failure to collect 

proper information could result in 

improper determinations of eligibility, 

improper use of funds, and/or unsound 

loans.

Rural Housing Service 

Title: 7 CFR 1924–F, Complaints and 

Compensation Defects. 

OMB Control Number: 0575–0082. 

Summary of Collection: Section 509 of 

Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as 

amended, authorizes the Rural Housing 

Service (RHS) to pay the costs for 

correcting defects or compensate 

borrowers of Section 502 Direct loan 

funds for expenses arising out of defects 

with respect to newly constructed 

dwellings and new manufactured 

housing units with authorized funds. 

This regulation provides instruction to 

all RHS personnel to enable them to 

implement a procedure to accept and 

process complaints from borrowers/ 

owners against builders and dealers/ 

contractors, to resolve the complaint 

informally. When the complaint 

involves structural defects which cannot 

be resolved by cooperation of the 

builder or dealer/contractor, 

authorization for expenditure to resolve 

the defect with grant funds. Resolution 

could involve expenditure for (1) 

repairing defects; (2) reimbursing for 

emergency repairs; (3) pay temporary 

living expenses or (4) convey dwelling 

to RHS with release of liability for the 

RHS loan. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

information is collected from agency 

borrowers and the local agency office 

serving the county in which the 

dwelling is located. This information is 

used by Rural Housing Staff to evaluate 

the request and assist the borrower in 

identifying possible causes and 

corrective actions. The information is 

collected on a case-by-case basis when 

initiated by the borrower. Without this 

information, RHS would be unable to 

assure that eligible borrowers would 

receive compensation to repair defects 

to their newly constructed dwellings. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or for-profit. 

Number of Respondents: 500. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
