DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to 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; and 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 October
27, 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

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 Housing Service
Title: Form RD 410-8, Application Reference Letter (A Request for
Credit Reference).
OMB Control Number: 0575-0091.
Summary of Collection: The Rural Housing Service (RHS), under
section 502 of Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, provides
financial assistance to construct, improve, alter, repair, replace, or
rehabilitate dwellings, which will provide modest, decent, safe, and
sanitary housing to eligible individuals in rural areas. To receive a
loan or grant, applicants must provide the Agency with a standard
housing application (used by government and private lenders), and
provide documentation, including their credit history, to support the
same.
Need and Use of the Information: Form RD 410-8, ``Applicant
Reference Letter'' is used by the Agency to obtain information about an
applicant's credit history that does not appear on a credit report. The
form can be used to document the applicant's ability to handle credit
effectively in cases where an applicant has used nontraditional sources
of credit which do not appear on a credit report. It also provides a
mechanism for verifying repayment history for debts reported by the
applicant on the loan application that do not appear on the credit
report. This form asks only for specific, relevant information to
determine the applicant's creditworthiness and to establish the
applicant's history of prompt payments on debts. This information
enables RHS to make better creditworthiness decisions.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or Households.
Number of Respondents: 1.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 1.

Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1926). The purpose of the Community
Facilities loan program is to make loans to public entities, nonprofit

Farm and Rural Development Act to improve, develop, or finance
business, industry, and employment and improve the economic and
environmental climate in rural communities.

circumstances. Information will be collected by the field offices from

or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal Government.
