    Title: 7 CFR 1944-I, ``Self-Help Technical Assistance Grants.''
    OMB Control Number: 0575-0043.
    Summary of Collection: Authorized under Public Law 90-448, section 
523 of the Title 5 Housing Act of 1949, this regulation sets forth the 
policies and procedures and delegates the authority for providing 
technical assistance funds to eligible applicants to finance programs 
of technical and supervisory assistance for the Mutual and Self-Help 
Housing (MSH) program. The MSH program affords very low and low-income 
families the opportunity for home ownership by constructing their own 
homes. The MSH program provides funds to non-profit organizations for 
supervisory and technical assistance to the homebuilding families. 
Three types of funds are available under the MSH program: (1) Technical 
assistance grants, (2) Pre-development grants and (3) Site option 
loans.
    Need and use of the Information: Rural Housing Service (RHS) will 
collect information from non-profit organizations that want to develop 
a MSH program in their area to increase the availability of affordable 
housing. The information is collected at the local, district and state 
levels. The information requested by RHS includes financial and 
organizational information about the non-profit organization. RHS needs 
this information to determine if the organization is capable of 
successfully carrying out the requirements of the MSH program. The 
information is collected on an as requested or needed basis. RHS has 
reviewed the program's need for the collection of information versus 
the burden placed on the public.
    Description of Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions; State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 100.
    Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting: Annually.
    Total Burden Hours: 3,177.
