                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                 Title: Servicing Minor Program Loans.
                 OMB Control Number: 0560-0230.
                 Expiration Date: June 30, 2022.
                 Type of Request: Extension.
                 Abstract: Section 331(b) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
                Development Act (CONACT, 7 U.S.C. 1981(b)), in part, authorizes the
                Secretary of Agriculture to modify, subordinate and release terms of
                security instruments, leases, contracts, and agreements entered by FSA.
                That section also authorizes transfers of security property, as the
                Secretary deems necessary, to carry out the purpose of the loan or
                protect the Government's financial interest. Section 335 of the CONACT
                (7 U.S.C. 1985) provides servicing authority for real estate security;
                operation or lease of realty; disposition of property; conveyance of
                real property interest of the United States; easements; and
                condemnations.
                 The information collection relates to a program benefit recipient
                or loan borrower requesting action on security they own, which was
                purchased with FSA loan funds, improved with FSA loan funds or has
                otherwise been mortgaged to FSA to secure a Government loan. The
                information collected is primarily financial data not already on file,
                such as borrower asset values, current financial information and public
                use and employment data. There are no changes to the burden hours since
                the last OMB approval.
                 For the following estimated total annual burden on respondents, the
                formula used to calculate the total burden hour is the estimated
                average time per responses hours multiplied by the estimated total
                annual responses.
                 Estimate of Annual Burden: Public reporting burden for this
                collection of information is estimated to average 0.64 hours per
                response.
                 Type of Respondents: Individuals, associations, partnerships, or
                corporations.
                 Estimated Number of Respondents: 58.
                 Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
                 Estimated Total Annual of Responses: 58.
                 Estimated Average Time per Responses: 0.64 hours.
                 Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 37 hours.
                 We are requesting comments on all aspects of this information
                collection to help us:
                 (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
                necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
                including whether the information will have practical utility;
                 (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
                the collection of information including the validity of the methodology
                and assumptions used;
                 (3) Evaluate the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
                technology; and
                 (4) Minimize the burden of the information collection on those who
                respond through the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
                mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
                of information technology.
                 All comments received in response to this notice, including names
                and addresses where provided, will be made a matter of public record.
                Comments will be summarized and included in the
                [[Page 9310]]
                request for OMB approval of the information collection.
