The information is needed to
effectively administer the Farm Service Agency (FSA) guaranteed
farm loan, EZ Guarantee Program, Micro Lender program (MLP) and
land contract guaranteed loan programs.
The annual responses have been
reduced by 18,974 while the burden hours reduced by 11,093 hours in
the request. The reason for the decrease is due to a drop in
Guaranteed loans originated between the years FY 2020 and FY 2022.
Between FY 2019 and FY 2022, the number of Guaranteed loans fell by
19 percent from 7,611 to 6,137. In addition, the number of loss
claims and status reports received is much lower than FY 2020.
