Rural Housing Service
Title: 7 CFR 1924–F, Complaints and
Compensation Defects.
OMB Control Number: 0575–0082.
Summary of Collection: Section 509C
of Title V of the Housing Act of 1949,
as amended, authorizes the Rural
Housing Service (RHS) to pay the costs
for correcting defects or compensate
borrowers of Section 502 Direct loan
funds for expenses arising out of defects
with respect to newly constructed
dwellings and new manufactured
housing units with authorized funds.
This regulation provides instruction to
all RHS personnel to enable them to
implement a procedure to accept and
process complaints from borrowers/
owners against builders and dealers/
contractors, to resolve the complaint
informally. When the complaint
involves structural defects which cannot
be resolved by the cooperation of the
builder or dealer/contractor, it
authorizes expenditure to resolve the
defect with grant funds. Resolution
could involve expenditure for (1)
repairing defects; (2) reimbursing for
emergency repairs; (3) pay temporary
living expenses or (4) convey dwelling
to RHS with release of liability for the
RHS loan.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information is collected from agency
borrowers and the local agency office
serving the county in which the
dwelling is located. This information is
used by Rural Housing Staff to evaluate
the request and assist the borrower in
identifying possible causes and

corrective actions. The information is
collected on a case-by-case basis when
initiated by the borrower. Without this
information, RHS would be unable to
assure that eligible borrowers would
receive compensation to repair defects
to their newly constructed dwellings.
Description of Respondents: Business
or for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 100.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
On occasion.
