Summary of Collection: Under the
authority of the Rural Electrification Act
of 1936 (ACT), as amended 7 U.S.C. 901
et seq., the Administrator is authorized
and empowered to make loans under
certain specified circumstances for the
purpose of furnishing and improving
telephone service in rural areas. RUS, in
representing the Federal Government as
Mortgagee, relies on the information
provided by the borrowers in their
financial statements to make lending
decisions as to borrowers’ credit
worthiness and to assure that loan funds
are approved, advanced and disbursed
for proper Act purposes. Borrowers are
required to furnish a full and complete
report of their financial condition,

substance satisfactory to RUS.
Need and Use of the Information:
RUS will collect information to evaluate
borrowers’ financial performance,
determine whether current loans are at
financial risk, and determine the credit
worthiness of future losses. If

delay RUS’s analysis of the borrowers’
financial strength, thereby adversely
impacting current lending decisions.
Description of Respondents: Not-forprofit institutions; Business or other forprofit.
