DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following 
information collection requirement(s) to Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments are requested regarding: whether 
the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance 
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be 
collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information 
on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Comments regarding this information collection received by August 
12, 2024 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for 
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days 
of the publication of this notice on the following website 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB 
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to 
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not 
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

Rural Utilities Service

    Title: 7 CFR 1783, Revolving Fund Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0572-0138.
    Summary of Collection: This package is being submitted under a 
regular clearance as a request for extension of a currently approved 
collection. The estimated number of applicants remains 4 based on a 
historical average for the program. The total burden hours are 
estimated to be 325 hours. On May 13, 2002, the Farm Security and Rural 
Investment Act of 2002 (Farm Bill) was signed into law as Public Law 
107-171. Section 6002 of the Farm Bill amended the Consolidated Farm 
and Rural Development Act (CONACT), by adding a grant program to 
establish a revolving loan fund (RFP). The Secretary may make grants to 
qualified private, non-profit entities to establish a revolving loan 
fund. The loans will be made to eligible entities to finance 
predevelopment costs of water or wastewater projects, or short-term 
small capital projects not part of the regular operation and 
maintenance of current water and wastewater systems.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information required in this 
collection is utilized by the Rural Development State offices and Rural 
Utilities Service (RUS) Water and Environmental program National Office 
staff to determine eligibility for the grant program and monitor 
performance of ongoing grants. Nonprofit organizations applying for the 
Revolving Fund Program grant(s) must submit an application, which 
includes an application form, narrative proposal (work plan), various 
other forms, certifications, and supplemental information. The Rural 
Development State Offices and the RUS National Office staff will use 
the information collected to determine applicant eligibility, project 
feasibility, and the applicant's ability to meet the grant and 
regulatory requirements. Failure to collect proper information could 
result in improper determinations of eligibility, improper use of 
funds, or hindrances in making grant(s) authorized by the Revolving 
Fund Program.
    Description of Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 4.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 325.
