DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

September 14, 2021.
    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments 
are required regarding; 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; the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of 
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, 
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 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.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by October 
18, 2021 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Farm Service Agency

    Title: 7 CFR 766, Direct Loan Servicing--Special.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0233.
    Summary of Collection: The Farm Service Agency's (FSA) Farm Loan 
Programs provide loans to family farmers to purchase real estate and 
equipment and finance agricultural production. The regulation in the 7 
CFR 766, Direct Loan Servicing--Special provides the requirements for 
servicing financially distressed and delinquent direct loan borrowers. 
The loan servicing options include disaster set-aside, primary loan 
servicing (including reamortization, rescheduling, deferral, write down 
and conservation contracts), buyout at market value, and homestead 
protection. FSA also services borrowers who file bankruptcy or 
liquidate security when available servicing options are not sufficient 
to produce a feasible plan. The information collections contained in 
the regulation are necessary to evaluate a borrower's request for 
consideration of the special servicing actions.
    Need and Use of the Information: Information collections are 
submitted by FLP direct loan borrowers to the local FSA office serving 
the country in which their business is headquartered. The information 
is necessary to provide supervised credit and authorized servicing 
actions to financially distressed and delinquent direct borrowers as 
legislatively mandated. If the information were not collected, or 
collected less frequently, FSA would be unable to meet the mandated 
mission of its loan program required by Congress.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households; Business or 
other for-profit; Farms.
    Number of Respondents: 17,174.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 12,221.
