Regulation promulgates the policies
and procedures for making zero-interest loans and grants to
borrowers in accordance with the cushion of credit payments program
authorized in Section 313 of the Act (7 USC 940c).
A reduction in program activity
of other programs was offset by the addition of water and waste
division responses for loans and grants that were inadvertantly
omitted from the 2003 submission. This resulted in a similar number
of respondents, but increased the responses which increased burden
by 22,934 hours.
