Abstract: The Business and Industry (B&I) program was legislated in 1972 under Section 310B of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. The purpose of the program is to improve, develop, or finance businesses, industries, and employment and improve the economic and environmental climate in rural communities. This purpose is achieved through bolstering the existing private credit structure through the guaranteeing of quality loans made by lending institutions, thereby providing lasting community benefits. The B&I program is administered by the Agency through Rural Development State and sub-State Offices serving each State.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is a new collection that is combining burden from 0570-0016, 0017 and 0018. The combined total of these three packages forms the baseline for the new burden. The reporting requirement for a non-regulated lender (formerly non-traditional lender) has been increased by 2 hours to account for the additional information required to become an eligible non-regulated lender in the B&I program. Additionally, the Certified Lender Program (CLP) no longer exists in the regulation, so its reporting requirements have been deleted. Accordingly, the reporting requirement for funds reservation under the CLP has also been deleted. The reporting requirement for the financing of housing development sites no longer exists as this is no longer an eligible loan purpose. Loan guarantee limits has been split out because there are two different limits – loan limits and percentage of guarantee limits and the burden for each is separated. Change in conditions requests have been added as the lender has the ability to request changes to the Conditional Commitment and must formally request those changes. A requirement for the borrower to provide a Central Contractor Registration number has been added.The burden hours for the proposed rule as represented by this package represents 33,763 hours and 24,976 responses. All of the above has resulted in an adjustment decrease of 1,637 hours in burden and a decrease of 4,884 responses.
