The collection of information is vital
to Rural Development to make wise decisions regarding the
eligibility of projects and borrowers in order to ensure compliance
with the regulations and to ensure that the funds obtained from the
Government are used appropriately (i.e., being used for the
purposes for which the guaranteed loans were awarded).
The increase in burden hours is
a result of an increase in respondents (10 to 23) since the
previous submission.
