Short Statement: As a result of the information collection analysis completed for this renewal request, the total burden hours for FLP were increased by 119. The current annual burden hours are 551, and the previous burden hours was 432. The current number of respondents is 314, and the previous number of respondents was 280. The previous number of responses was 290 and the current number of responses is 325 so the number of responses has increased by 35 in this request. The increase is primarily due to an overall increase in agency inventory property since approval of the previous burden request. The largest increase is to the number of respondents who will review FSA-2593 "Standard Sales Contract" as part of anticipated sales of FSA inventory property. Additionally, a large increase in burden hours is due to the increase in travel time associated with customers who will drive to their local office to provide the information requested in this collection. Other items were increased slightly to reflect the increasing number of borrowers which are being serviced by the agency and are therefore subject to the information collection contained in this request.
