U.S.C. 3501, as amended), this notice announces the Rural Housing 
Service's intention to request an extension for a currently approved 
information collection in support of the Single Family Housing Direct 
Loans and Grants programs. The collection involves the use of Form RD 
410-8 ``Applicant Reference Letter.'' The form will be used to obtain 
information about an applicant's credit history that might not appear 
on a credit report and to provide clarification on the promptness of 
applicant's payments on debts which enables Rural Housing Service to 
make better creditworthiness decisions.

DATES:  Comments on this notice must be received by May 9, 2016 to be

OMB to issue a control number for this form.
