Rural Housing Service
Title: RD 3550-28, ``Authorization Agreement for Preauthorization
Payments''; RD 1951-65, ``Customer Initiated Payments (CIP)'' and RD
1951-66, ``Fedwire Worksheet''.
OMB Control Number: 0575-0184.
Summary of Collection: Rural Development (RD) uses electronic
methods for receiving and processing loan payments and collections.
These electronic collection methods are approved by Treasury and
include Preauthorized Debits (PAD), Customer Initiated Payments (CIP),
and FedWire. These electronic collection methods provide the borrower
the ability to submit their loan payments the day prior to, or the day
of their installment due date. To administer these electronic payment
methods, RD will use approved agency forms for collecting financial
institution routing information. Form RD 3550-28, Authorization
Agreement for Preauthorized Payments, is prepared by the borrower to
authorize RD to electronically collect regular loan payments from a
borrower's account at a financial institution (FI) as preauthorized
debits. Form RD 1951-65, is prepared by the borrower to enroll in CIP.
CIP is an electronic collection method that enables borrowers to input
payment data to a contract bank via telephone (touch tone and voice) or
computer terminal. Form RD 1951-66, FedWire Worksheet, is completed by
the borrower to establish an electronic FedWire format with their FI.
Need and Use of the Information: RD will request that borrowers
make payments electronically via PAD, CIP, or FedWire. The information
is collected only once unless the FI routing information changes. If
the information were not collected, RD would be unable to collect loan
payments electronically.
Description of Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions; business
or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 4,991.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 2,291.
