SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Farm Loan Programs, Direct Loan Making.
OMB Control Number: 0560-0237.
Expiration Date: October 31, 2022.
Type of Request: Revision and Extension.
Abstract: FSA's Farm Loan Programs provide loans to family farmers
to purchase real estate and equipment, and to finance agricultural
production. Direct Loan Making and Direct Farm Ownership Microloan
(DFOML) regulations in 7 CFR part 764 provide the requirements and
process for determining an applicant's eligibility for a direct loan.
There were changes to the numbers in the request because the
figures were miscalculated in the previous report. Consequently, the
burden hours increased by 67,345, and the number of responses increased
by 6,330. The numbers are currently reflected in the information
collection request.
For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the
formula used to calculate the total burden hour is the estimated
average time per responses hours multiplied by the estimated total
annual responses.
Estimate of Average Time to Respond: Public reporting burden for
the information collection is estimated to average 0.405 hours per
response.
Type of Respondents: Individuals or households, businesses or other
for-profit farms.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 184,871.
Estimated Number of Reponses per Respondent: 3.8.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 704,724.
Estimated Average Time per Response: 0.405 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 285,272 hours.
We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information
collection to help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of FSA, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of FSA'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.
Marcus Graham,
Acting Administrator, Farm Service Agency.
