DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
March 8, 2022.
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments are requested 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; 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 April
11, 2022 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
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. 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.
Rural Utilities Service
Title: 7 CFR 1717 Subpart Y, Settlement of Debt Owed by Electric
Borrowers.
OMB Control Number: 0572-0116.
Summary of Collection: The Rural Utilities Service makes mortgage
loans and loan guarantees to electric systems to provide and improve
electric service in rural areas pursuant to the Rural Electrification
Act of 1936, as amended (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.) (RE Act). This
information collection requirement stems from passage of Public Law
104-127, on April 4, 1996, which amended section 331(b) of the
Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1921 et seq.) to
extend to RUS the Secretary of Agriculture's authority to settle debts
with respect to loans made or guaranteed by RUS. Only those electric
borrowers that are unable to fully repay their debts to the Government
and who apply to RUS for relief will be affected by this information
collection. The collection will require only that information which is
essential for determining: The need for debt settlement; the amount of
relief that is needed; the amount of debt that can be repaid; the
scheduling of debt repayment; and the range of opportunities for
enhancing the amount of debt that can be recovered.
Need and Use of the Information: The information to be collected
will be similar to that which any prudent lender would require to
determine whether debt settlement is required and the amount of relief
that is needed. Since the need for relief is expected to vary
substantially from case to case, so will the required information to be
collected.
