Rural Housing Service

    Title: 7 CFR 1822-G, Rural Housing Loans, Policies, Procedures and 
Authorizations.
    OMB Control Number: 0575-0071.
    Summary of Collection: Section 523 and 524 of the Housing Act of 
1949, as amended (Pub.L. 90-448) authorized the Secretary of 
Agriculture to establish the Self Help Land Development Fund to make 
loans to public or private nonprofit organizations and State, Local or 
Tribal Governments for acquiring and developing housing sites. Eligible 
entities assist very low and low income families that are without 
adequate housing to buy, build, or repair housing for their own use.

the information collected to verify and ensure program eligibility 
requirements, appropriate use of loans, and continuing with legislative 
requirements. If the information is not collected, RHS would be unable 
to determine if the organization qualifies for loan assistance.
    Description of Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions; State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 4.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 24.
