SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: 7 CFR, Part 1951–S—Farmer

Program Account Servicing Policies.

OMB Control Number: 0560–0161.

Expiration Date of Approval: January

31, 2001.

Type of Request: Extension of

Currently Approved Information

Collection.

Abstract: The regulations describe the

policies and procedures the Agency will

use in servicing delinquent FLP loans.

Servicing of accounts is administered in

accordance with the provisions of the

Consolidated Farm and Rural

Development Act (CONACT), as

amended by the Food Security Act of

1985, the Agriculture Credit Act of

1987, the Food, Agriculture,

Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, the

Agricultural Credit Improvement Act of

1992, and the Federal Agriculture

Improvement and Reform Act of 1996.

The CONACT establishes notification by

the Agency and response by the

borrower and actions on the borrower’s

request. Specifically, it requires a

borrower to document that they can

meet family living and farm operating

expenses and service all debts,

including the loans they are proposing

be restructured by the Agency. This

information collection is submitted by

Agency borrowers to FSA and used by

Agency officials to consider a

financially distressed or delinquent

borrower’s request for debt restructuring

including rescheduling, reamortization,

consolidation, deferral, and write down.

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting

burden for this collection of information

is estimated to average 47 minutes per

response.

Respondents: Individuals or

households, businesses or other for

profits and farms.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

12,000.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 1.73.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 16,000 hours.

The Agency is soliciting comments on

the burden of all of the above subparts

regarding: (a) 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;

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

of burden including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility and

clarity of the information to be

collected; (d) 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. These comments should be

sent to Desk Officer for Agriculture,

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

Budget, Washington, DC 20503 and to

Phillip Elder, Senior Loan Officer,

USDA, FSA, Farm Loan Programs, Loan

Servicing Division, 1400 Independence

Avenue, SW, STOP 0523, Washington,

DC 20250–0523.

Comments regarding paperwork

burden will be summarized and

included in the request for OMB

approval of the information collection.

All comments will also become a matter

of public record.

Signed in Washington, DC, on November 3,

2000.
