SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description of Information Collection 

Title: (7 CFR part 762) Guaranteed 

Farm Loan Program. 

OMB Number: 0560–0155. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

10/31/2010. 

Type of Request: Extension with 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: This information collection 

is needed to effectively administer the 

FSA guaranteed farm loan programs. 

The information is collected by the FSA 

loan official in consultation with 

participating commercial lenders. The 

objective of the guaranteed loan 

program is to provide credit to 

applicants who are unable to obtain 

credit from lending institutions without 

a guarantee. The reporting requirements 

imposed on the public by the 

regulations at 7 CFR part 762 are 

necessary to administer the guaranteed 

loan program in accordance with 

statutory requirements of the 

Consolidated Farm and Rural 

Development Act and are consistent 

with commonly performed lending 

practices. Collection of information after 

loans are made is necessary to protect 

the Government’s financial interest. 

Type of Respondents: Individuals or 

households, business or other for-profit 

and farms. 

Estimated Average Time to Respond: 

.733 hours. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

16,985. 

Estimated Number of Reports Filed 

per Respondent: 13.5. 

Estimated Total Annual Number of 

Responses: 229,443. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 168,387 hours. 

We are requesting comments on all 

aspects of this information collection 

and to help us to: 

(1) Evaluate 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; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden including 

the validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(4) 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. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

submission for Office of Management 

and Budget approval.
