The Department of Agriculture is seeking public comments on an information collection request under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This request involves the Community Facilities Grant Program, which provides grants to public agencies, nonprofits, and Indian tribes for essential community services in rural areas, like schools, hospitals, and fire stations. The Department is asking for feedback on the necessity and utility of the information collected, as well as suggestions for minimizing the burden on respondents. Comments are due by March 28, 2025, and can be submitted online at the designated government website.
Simple Explanation
The Agriculture Department wants to know what people think about the paperwork they ask for to give money to help build important places like schools and hospitals in small towns. They're hoping to make it easier and would like ideas on how to do that.
