Short Statement: FSA is conducting this revision due to Executive Order 14058 issued by the White House, that tasked the Secretary of Agriculture with simplifying the direct loan application process. In doing so, this collection was also affected. The numbers of responses decreased by 93,365 while the burden hours increased by 10,578 due to the forms FSA-2001, FSA-2002, FSA-2003, FSA-2004, FSA-2005, FSA-2006, FSA-2037, FSA-2038, FSA-2302, and FSA-2330 that have been consolidated into a single form for the purposes of direct loan making and that consolidation is reflected in this collection. The revised FSA-2001 will be used for direct loan making to replace the use of the other listed forms; other Farm Loan Programs uses, for example loan servicing will still use the original forms in some cases. Also, the number of respondents decreased by 10,474 in this collection.
