Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 28 / Friday, February 9, 2024 / Notices

establish basic accounting requirements
for the recording of financial
information that must be available to the
management, investors, and lenders of
any business enterprise. This collection
is primarily a record keeping
requirement, although the Agency is
requiring borrowers to establish an
index of records. The hours of burden
to maintain this index are directly
related to the portions of the accounting
system that are unique to the Agency.
There are many important financial
considerations for retention and
preservation of accounting records. One
of the most important considerations to
RUS is that documentation be available
so that the borrower’s records may be
audited for proper disbursements of
funds.
Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. All responses
to this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record.
Copies of this information collection
can be obtained from Crystal Pemberton,
Management Analyst, Rural
Development Innovation Center—
Regulations Management Division, at
(202) 260–8621. Email: Crystal.
Pemberton@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.
