The information collection continues to be necessary for the Department to evaluate prospective projects, project sponsors, and borrowers for credit program eligibility and creditworthiness review as required by 3 U.S.C. § 602(a)(1)(A) which specifically states that a party seeking TIFIA credit assistance must submit an LOI to the Bureau as a prerequisite to submission of a credit application (“Application”). A party seeking RRIF credit assistance is encouraged to submit an LOI to the Bureau to present information about its organization and proposed project prior to submitting an Application.
