Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 52 / Thursday, March 18, 2010 / Notices 13075 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Rural Housing Service 

(RHS) is authorized under Section 

517(d) of Title V of the Housing Act of 

1949, as amended, to issue loan 

guarantees for the acquisition of new or 

existing dwellings and related facilities 

to provide decent, safe, and sanitary 

living conditions and other structures in 

rural areas by eligible recipients. 

The Act also authorizes the Secretary 

to pay the holder of a guaranteed loan 

the difference between the rate of 

interest paid by the borrower and the 

market rate of interest. 

The purpose of the program is to 

assist low and moderate income 

individuals and families acquire or 

construct a single family residence in a 

rural area with loans made by private 

lenders. Eligibility for this program 

includes low and moderate income 

families or persons whose income does 

not exceed 115 percent of the median 

income for the area, as determined by 

the Secretary. 

The Guaranteed Rural Housing (GRH) 

program was authorized under the 

Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable 

Housing Act, and the Agency issued a 

final rule implementing the GRH 

program on April 17, 1991, before 

departmental reorganization. The 

program began as a pilot program in 20 

States on May 17, 1991. In 1992, the 

GRH program was offered on a 

nationwide basis. During the 

implementation process, the Agency 

looked for ways to improve the program 

and make it more user-friendly. 

The Agency recognized the need to 

make its program even more compatible 

with the existing structure of the 

mortgage lending community. On May 

22, 1995, the Agency published a final 

rule incorporating the needed changes 

to encourage greater participation by 

lenders and the secondary market for 

mortgage loans. 

The information requested by the 

Agency includes borrower financial 

information such as household income, 

assets and liabilities, and monthly 

expenses. All information collected is 

vital for the Agency to determine if 

borrowers qualify for and assure they 

receive all assistance for which they are 

eligible. Information requested on 

lenders is required to ensure lenders are 

eligible to participate in the GRH 

program. Lender requirements are in 

compliance with OMB Circular A–129. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 1.44 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households and business or other forprofits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

33,393. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 8.7. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

293,053. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 204,081 hours.

can be obtained from Linda WattsThomas, Regulations and Paperwork 

Management Branch, at (202) 692–0226.
