## Rural Utilities Service

*Title:*7 CFR 1717 Subpart Y, Settlement of Debt Owed by Electric Borrowers.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0572-0116.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     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.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     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 to be collected.                          ( print page 13963)    

*Description of Respondents:*                     Private Sector; Business or other for-profit.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     1.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: On occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     1,000.
