the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days

Farm Service Agency
Title: Farm Loan Program (FLP)--Online Loan Application.
OMB Control Number: 0560-NEW.
Summary of Collection: The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is
implementing a new Online Loan Application to collect information
electronically from the applicants and borrowers. FSA provides loans to
family farmers to purchase real estate and equipment and finance
agricultural production authorized under the Consolidated Farm and
Rural Development Act (CONACT) (7 U.S.C. 1921 and Pub. L. 87-128), as
amended. Direct loan making information collection requirements include
debt verifications, employment & income verification, and actual
financial and production records of the operation.
Need and Use of the Information: FSA is collecting the information
that is necessary to thoroughly evaluate the applicant's request for a
direct loan to ensure that: the applicant meets the established program
eligibility requirements; their cash flow projections used in
determining loan repayment are based on the actual financial and
production history of the operation and a loan is adequately secured.
FSA is mandated to provide supervised credit, failure to collect the
information, or collecting it less frequently, could result in the
failure of the farm operation or loss of FSA security property. If the
information were not collected, or collected less frequently, FSA would
be unable to meet the congressionally mandated mission of the loan
programs.
Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 21,610.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (when applying for loans).
Total Burden Hours: 59,389.
