SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office 

of Management and Budget’s (OMB) 

regulation (5 CFR 1320) implementing 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13) requires 

that interested members of the public 

and affected agencies have an

Title: 7 CFR part 1717, subpart Y, 

Settlement of Debt Owed by Electric 

Borrowers. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0116. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection package. 

Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service 

makes mortgage loans and loan 

guarantees to electric systems to provide 

and improve electric service in rural 

areas pursuant to the Rural 

Electrification Act of 1936, as amended 

(7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.)(RE Act). This 

information collection requirement 

stems from passage of Public Law 104– 

127, on April 4, 1996, which amended 

section 331(b) of the Consolidated Farm 

and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 

1921 et seq.) to extend to RUS the 

Secretary of Agriculture’s authority to 

settle debts with respect to loans made 

or guaranteed by RUS. Only those 

electric borrowers that are unable to 

fully repay their debts to the 

Government and who apply to RUS for 

relief will be affected by this 

information collection. The collection 

will require only that information which 

is essential for determining: The need 

for debt settlement; the amount of relief 

that is needed; the amount of debt that 

can be repaid; the scheduling of debt 

repayment; and, the range of 

opportunities for enhancing the amount 

of debt that can be recovered. The 

information to be collected will be 

similar to that which any prudent 

lender would require to determine 

whether debt settlement is required and 

the amount of relief that is needed. 

Since the need for relief is expected to 

vary substantially from case to case, so 

will the required information collection. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

for this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1,000 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Not-for-profit 

institutions and other businesses. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 1,000 hours. 

Copies of this information collection 

can be obtained from Thomas P. 

Dickson, Program Development and 

Regulatory Analysis at (202) 690–4492. 

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. 

Dated: August 23, 2018. 

Christopher A. McLean, 

Acting Administrator, Rural Utilities Service.
