SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 7 CFR 1927–B, Real Estate Title 

Clearance and Loan Closing. 

OMB Number: 0575–0147. 

Expiration Date of Approval: June 30, 

2007. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Section 501 of Title V of the 

Housing Act of 1949, as amended, 

authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture 

to extend financial assistance to 

construct, improve, alter, repair, 

replace, or rehabilitate dwellings, farm 

buildings, and/or related facilities to 

provide decent, safe, and sanitary living 

conditions and adequate farm buildings 

and other structures in rural areas. 

Sections 302, 311, and 321 of the 

Consolidated Farm and Rural 

Development Act, as amended, 

authorize the Secretary to extend 

agricultural credit to farmers and 

ranchers. Title clearance is required to 

assure the Agency(s) that the loan is 

legally secured and has the required lien 

priority. 

The Agencies will be collecting 

information to assure that those 

participating in this program remain 

eligible to proceed with loan closing 

and to ensure that loans made with 

Federal funds are legally secured. The 

respondents are individuals or 

households, farms, businesses, and 

nonprofit institutions. The information 

required is used by USDA personnel to 

verify that the required lien position has 

been obtained. The information is 

collected at the field office responsible 

for processing a loan application 

through loan closing. The information is 

also used to ensure the program is 

administered in a manner consistent 

with legislative and administrative 

requirements. If not collected, the 

Agency would be unable to determine if 

the loan is adequately and legally 

secured. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average .28 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, farms, businesses, nonprofit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

90,399. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

90,399. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 25,042 hours.

can be obtained from Renita Bolden,

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

Ways to minimize the burden of the

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques, or 

other forms of information technology.
