Comments on the proposed rule and the information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 must be received on or before October 22, 2013. 7 CFR Part 3550 Summary Through this action, the Rural Housing Service (RHS) is proposing to amend its regulations for the section 502 direct single family housing loan program to create a certified loan application packaging process for eligible loan application packagers.
