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 setaside, 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.
