and addresses of the borrowers' officials with whom they must
communicate directly in order to administer the Agency's lending
programs. Changes occurring at the borrower's annual meeting (e.g. the
selection of board members, managers, attorneys, certified public
accountants or other officials) make necessary the collection of
information.

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
proposed 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. All responses to this notice
will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of public record.
