The information is needed to
effectively administer the Farm Service Agency (FSA) guaranteed
farm loan programs.
The burden is increased by
1,732 for a supplement form (FSA-2254A) to the FSA-2254 to
eliminate the required documentations from the lenders. The
FSA-2254A will also assist FSA Guaranteed Lenders in completing the
new automated loss claim process within FSAs Guaranteed Loan
System, resulting in faster turnaround time with loan servicing
actions.

1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
