Rural Business-Cooperative Service

    Title: 7 CFR 1951-R, Rural Development Loan Servicing.
    OMB Control Number: 0570-0015.
    Summary of Collection: The Rural Development (RD) Loan Servicing 
was legislated in 1985 under Section 1323 of the Food and Security Act 
of 1985. This action is needed to implement the provision of Section 
407 of the Health and Human Services Act of 1986, which amended Section 
1323 of the Food and Security Act of 1985. Subpart R of 7 CFR part 1951 
contains regulations for servicing and liquidating loans made by Rural 
Development under the Intermediary Relending Program (IRP) and the 
Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program (RMAP) to eligible 
intermediaries and applies to ultimate recipients and other involved 
parties.
    Need and Use of the Information: Rural Development has determined 
that the financial reporting requirements are necessary to provide the 
Agency with current information to monitor the program, to make various 
reporting requirements to Congress, and for program innovation and 
expansion under the Government's Performance Review.
    Servicing of the IRP is administered by RBCS in Washington, DC, 
which will be the primary user of the information collected, which is 
vital to RBS for prudent loan servicing, credit decisions, and 
reasonable program monitoring.
    Description of Respondents: Non-profit corporations, public 
agencies, Tribal councils, and cooperatives.
    Number of Respondents: 475.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Quarterly; Semi-
annually; Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 11,878.
