Information is used in eligibility and
feasibility determinations on borrowers' requests for disaster
set-aside; primary loan servicing (reamortization, rescheduling,
deferral, write down and conservation contractos), buyout at market
value, and homestead protection, as well as liquidation of
security.
As a result of the information
collection analysis completed for this renewal request, the total
burden hours for FLP were increased by 6,045. The total burden
hours for this request are 15,236. The adjustments are primarily
due to an overall increase of agency special servicing caseload and
borrowers inability to make schedule payments since the last
approval of this collection. The number of respondents was
increased by 7,842 while the total annual responses were increased
by 15,423. The previous numbers of respondents were 9,191 and the
previous total annual number responses were 11,761. The numbers of
respondents in this request are 14,505 while the total annual
responses in this request are 27,184.
