    Title: 7 CFR part 4287, subpart B.
    OMB Control Number: 0570-0069.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: This subpart contains requirements applicable to the 
servicing of B&I Guaranteed Loan Program administered by the Agency. 
This includes lender and borrower performance, routine and delinquency 
servicing and secondary market activities for loans made before October 
1, 2020. The information is used by Agency loan officers for program 
monitoring.
    The estimates do not include burden hours for customary and usual 
business practices of entities other than the Agency. Therefore, this 
package only considers the information the Agency requires in excess of 
what a lender would typically require of a business, as well as the 
information the Agency regulation requires from the lender in excess of 
what it would typically do for a non-guaranteed loan.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 1.07 hours per response.
    Respondents: Businesses, not-for-profit institutions and others.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,800.
    Total Annual Responses: 18,562.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 6.63.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 19,842 hours.
    Copies of this information collection can be obtained from Susan 
Woolard, Management Analyst, Innovation Center--Regulations Management 
Division, at (202) 720-9631. Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d3a0a6a0b2bdfda4bcbcbfb2a1b793a6a0b7b2fdb4bca5"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d9aaacaab8b7f7aeb6b6b5b8abbd99acaabdb8f7beb6af">[email protected]</span></a>.
    All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the 
request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of 
public record.

Administrator, Rural Business-Cooperative Service.
