Abstract: Rural Development agencies provide grants, loans, and loan guarantee assistance to rural residents, rural communities, and rural utility systems. The eligibility criterion for each program differs widely. Information is used to administer and monitor the programs against improper use of funds, and/or unsound loans. The programs are a) the Water and Waste Loan and Grant Program; b) the Rural Business Enterprise Grants and Television Demonstration Grants Program; c) the Community Facilities Grant Program; d) the Community Facilities Loans Program, e) the Fire and Rescue Loans Program; f) the Direct Single-Family Housing Loan and Grant Programs; and g) the Rural Housing Loans Program.

Emergency Justfication: Since enactment of the Recovery Act, the Agencies researched, analyzed, and determined certain incentives for generating quality grants, loans, and loan guarantees in these critical rural areas. However, given the limited amount of time available to obligate the associated funding, September 30, 2010, we request approval of the information collection by September 04, 2009, so that the Department can begin accepting applications and making grants, loans and loan guarantees.
