Abstract: The Rural Business-Cooperative Service's Intermediary
Relending Program regulations contain various requirements for
information from the intermediaries, and some requirements may cause
the intermediary to seek information from ultimate recipients. The
information requested is necessary for RBS to be able to process
applications in a responsible manner, make prudent credit and program
decisions, and effectively monitor the intermediaries' activities to
protect the Government's financial interest and ensure that funds
obtained from the Government are used appropriately. It includes
information to identify the intermediary; describe the intermediary's
experience and expertise; describe how the intermediary will operate
its revolving loan fund; provide for debt instruments, loan agreements,
and security; and other material necessary for prudent credit decisions
and reasonable program monitoring.
Comments are invited on:
(a) 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;
(b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
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 collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Copies of this information collection can be obtained from Robin M.
Jones, Rural Development Innovation Center--Regulations Management
Division, at (202) 772-1172. Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d6a4b9b4bfb8f8bbf8bcb9b8b3a596a3a5b2b7f8b1b9a0"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e4968b868d8aca89ca8e8b8a8197a491978085ca838b92">[email protected]</span></a>.
