Information is used to determine borrower compliance with loan covenants, assist borrower in achieving their business goals, and regular servicing of loan account such as graduation, subordination, partial release, and use of proceeds.
This is a revision of a currently approved information collection request. FSA is conducting this revision as part of a larger Departmental process related to Executive Order 14058, that directed the Secretary of Agriculture to simplify the direct loan application process. In doing so, this collection was also affected. The current burden inventory is 103,894 estimated annual respondents: 103,894 estimated annual responses and 33,012 estimated annual burden hours. With this revision the agency is seeking 105,135 estimated annual respondents, 109,568 estimated annual responses and 36,275 estimated annual burden hours. This reflects an increase in the number of estimated respondents 1,241, increase in the estimated number of responses 5,674 and an increase in the number of estimated annual burden hours 3,263 since the last OMB submission.
The increase in burden is attributed to both program changes and adjustments.
Program Changes:
- Additional completion time for new forms that enhance the program objectives.
Adjustments
-Overall estimated increase in total future usage of the forms based on the number of active borrowers as of December 31, 2025.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
