Rural Utilities Service
Title: Accounting Requirements for
RUS Electric and Telecommunications
Borrowers.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0003.
Summary of Collection: Rural Utilities
Service (RUS) is a credit agency of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture that
makes loans (direct and guaranteed) to
finance electric and telecommunications
facilities in rural areas. Currently, there
are approximately 685 active electric
borrowers and 737 RUS
telecommunications borrowers. RUS
does not own or operate rural electric
facilities. Its function is to provide,
through self-liquidating loans and
technical assistance, adequate and
dependable electric and
telecommunications service to rural
people under rates and conditions that
permit productive use of these utility
services. RUS borrowers, as all
businesses, need accounting systems for
their own internal use as well as
external use. Such records are
maintained as part of normal business
practices. Without systems, no records
would exist, for example, or what they
own or what they owe. Such records
systems provide borrowers with
information that is required by the
manager and board of directors to
operate on a daily basis, to complete
their tax returns, and to support
requests to state regulatory commissions
for rate approvals.
Need and Use of the Information:
RUS collects information to evaluate a
borrower’s financial performance, to
determine whether current loans are at
risk, and to determine the credit
worthiness of future loans. If basic
financial records were not maintained,
the borrower, its investors, and RUS
would be unable to evaluate a
borrower’s financial performance.
