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

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Due to an increase of funding availability and initiatives that occurred over the past few years for the direct Community Facilities loan program, a request for an additional increase of 138 responses and 123 burden hours is being requested and will result in an increase of the number of responses to 1,773 and the number of burden hours to 1,663. However, due to the COVID 19 pandemic, on April 1, 2020, a Non-substantive Change Request was submitted to OMB to include a new request for Forbearance and Forbearance Agreement Written Forms for Sections 515 and 538 borrowers resulting in an increase of 12, 735 responses and 18,475 burden hours. The Non-substantive Change Request was approved on February 1, 2021 however, the Forbearance and Forbearance Agreement Written Forms did not apply to the Direct Community Facilities Loan Program and the form are therefore being removed from the collection. Removal of the forms resulted in the decrease of the number of responses back to its original request of 1,773 the number of responses and 1,663 burden hours for this collection.
