Title: Meat and Poultry Intermediary Lending Program.
OMB Control Number: 0570-NEW.
Type of Request: New collection.
Abstract: The notice contains general provisions for the Meat and Poultry Intermediary Lending Program grants and applies to intermediaries, and other parties involved in making, servicing, or liquidating such grants. The notice also contains general provisions for ultimate recipients of loans made by intermediaries. The information is used by Agency loan officers for program monitoring.
The estimates do not include burden hours for customary and usual business practices of entities other than the Agency. Therefore, this package only considers the information the Agency requires in excess of what a lender would typically require of a business, as well as the information the Agency regulation requires from the lender in excess of what it would typically do for a non-guaranteed loan.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3.32 hours per response.
Respondents: Businesses, not-for-profit institutions and others.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 75.
Total Annual Responses: 1,320.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 17.6.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 4,388 hours.
Copies of this information collection can be obtained from Susan Woolard, Management Analyst, Innovation Center-Regulations Management Division, at (202) 720-9631. Email: susan.woolard@usda.gov.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.
