Overall, the number of respondents decreased by 20,181 while the annual responses decreased by 40,198, and the annual burden hours decreased by 61,208. Those decreased numbers were due to FSA not conducting limited resource reviews in several years as the regular interest rates have been far below the 5% of the limited resource interest rates. When the regular interest rates rise above the limited resource rates, borrowers meeting the eligibility requirements will once again be requesting those rates. Also, there were fewer respondents using of FSA-2037 and FSA-2039 and noted that applicants and borrowers do not complete FSA-2039. FSA has not been utilizing supervised bank accounts as other methods to disburse loan funds to be more effective and efficient. That has almost eliminated the need for financial institutions to open supervised bank accounts, and borrowers need to contact FSA multiple times to release loan funds. In addition, applicants in general do not use loan funds for construction purposes, thus reducing the number of contractors responding to information collection requirements. FSA was no longer included travel times in this request. Respondents may submit applications by mail and many respondents go to the county offices to do regular and customary business with FSA for other FSA programs and can complete and submit the farm loan programs forms during this time; this means no travel time is required specifically for this information collection.
