Farm Service Agency

    Title: Farm Loan Programs--Guaranteed Farm Loan.
    OMB Control Number: 0560-0155.
    Summary of Collection: FSA requests a revision of the currently 
approved information collection to include automated data collection of 
information through the ProsperUS Platform. FLP administers to make and 
service loans guaranteed to the eligible farmers and ranchers to comply 
with the regulations of 7 CFR part 762, Guaranteed Farm Loans and 7 CFR 
part 763, Land Contract Guaranteed Loans. The loans made and serviced 
include farm operating and farm ownership loans. FSA also provides 
guarantees of loans made by private sellers of a farm or ranch on a 
land contract sales basis; although this program is rarely used. The 
reporting requirements imposed on the public by the regulations at 7 
CFR part 762 and 7 CFR part 763 are necessary to administer the Farm 
Loan Program guaranteed loan program. For the following estimated total 
annual burden on respondents, the formula used to calculate the total 
burden hours is the estimated average time per response multiplied by 
the estimated total annual responses.
    Need and Use of the Information: FSA uses the forms and written 
evidence to collect needed information. The objective of the guaranteed 
loan program is to provide credit to applicants who are unable to 
obtain credit from lending institutions without a guarantee. The 
information collected is used to determine lender and loan applicant 
eligibility for farm loan guarantees, and to ensure the lender protects 
the Government's financial interest. The information FSA collects is 
needed to effectively administer the FSA guaranteed farm loan programs. 
The information is collected by the FSA loan official in consultation 
with participating lenders.
    Description of Respondents: Businesses or other for-profits and 
Farms.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,072.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Other (when applying for loans).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 125,311 hours.
