financial assistance may pay part or all of the cost of developing,

substandard housing.
    RHS will be collecting information from non-profit organizations to 
enter into grant agreements. These non-profit organizations will give 
technical and supervisory assistance, and in doing so, they must 
develop a final application for section 523 grant funds. This 
application includes Agency forms that

utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology. Comments may be sent to Jeanne 
Jacobs, Regulations and Paperwork Management Branch, Support Services 
Division, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, STOP 0742,
