Title: Loan Guaranty, Insurance, and 

Interest Subsidy, 25 CFR 103. 

Brief description of collection: The 

purpose of the Loan Guaranty, 

Insurance, and Interest Subsidy 

Program, 25 U.S.C. 1481 et seq. and 25 

U.S.C. 1511 et seq., is to encourage 

private lending to individual Indians 

and organizations of Indians, by 

providing lenders with loan guaranties 

or loan insurance to reduce their 

potential risk. Lenders, borrowers, and 

the loan purpose all must qualify under 

Program terms. In addition, the 

Secretary of the Interior must be 

satisfied that there is a reasonable 

prospect that the loan will be repaid. 

DOI collects information under the 

proposed regulations to assure 

compliance with Program requirements. 

There are currently 293 outstanding 

loans. Based upon historical records, 

DOI anticipates approximately 65 

applications for loan guaranties each 

year. DOI will receive approximately 20 

additional loan insurance applications 

or notices of loan insurance per year. Of 

the combined 85 applications/notices, 

DOI expects that it will guarantee or 

insure approximately 62 new loans each 

year, of which approximately 45 will 

receive interest subsidy. We will have 

about 350 loans outstanding by the close 

of Fiscal Year 2007. 

In all, DOI estimates the total annual 

Program compliance burden to range 

from approximately 1–2 hours per loan, 

with the average loan causing a burden 

of approximately 1.50 hours. Most 

compliance burdens fall below this 

average. 

DOI assumes the average hourly cost 

per respondent to be $20.00. 

Respondents: Commercial banks. 

Number of Respondents: 350. 

Number of Responses Annually: 

1,527. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 2 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: As needed. 

Total Annual Burden to Respondents: 

3,014. 

Total Annual Cost to Respondents: 

$60,280.00.
