■ 23. Add § 1944.428 to read as follows: 

§ 1944.428 Site Loan to Technical 

Assistance Grantees 

The objective of a Site Option (SO) 

loan under Section 523(b)(1)(B) of Title 

V of the Housing Act of 1949 is to 

enable technical assistance (TA) 

grantees or contractors to establish 

revolving fund accounts to obtain 

options on land needed to make sites 

available to families that will build their 

own homes by the self-help method. 

Loans may be made only as necessary to 

enable eligible applicants to establish 

revolving accounts with which to obtain 

options on land that will be needed as 

building sites by self-help families 

participating in the TA self-help 

housing program. 

To be eligible for an SO loan, the 

applicant must be a TA grantee that is 

currently operating in a satisfactory 

manner under a TA grant agreement. If 

the SO loan applicant has applied for 

TA funds but is not already a TA 

grantee and it appears that the TA grant 

will be made, the SO loan may be 

approved but not closed until the TA 

grant is closed. Applications will be 

processed, approved or disapproved, 

and closed in accordance with 7 CFR 

1822, subpart G, 1822.271 through 

1822.275 and adhere to the special 

requirements for RHS section 523 loans 

at 7 CFR 1822.278. 

■ 24. Revise and republish § 1944.450 to 

read as follows: 

§ 1944.450 OMB control number. 

The information collection 

requirements contained in this 

regulation has been approved by OMB 

and have been assigned OMB control 

number 0575–0043. This proposed 

rulemaking contains new reporting 

requirements that would require 

approval under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35).
