Summary of Collection: The Rural
Electrification Act of 1936, 7 U.S.C. 901

(7 U.S.C. 904) authorizes and empowers
the Administrator of the Rural Utilities

several States and Territories of the
United States for rural electrification
and the furnishing and improving of
electric energy to persons in rural areas.
RUS’ Administrator is authorized to
provide financial assistance to
borrowers for purposes provided in the
RE Act by guaranteeing loans made by
the National Rural Utilities Cooperative
Finance Corporation, the Federal
Financing Bank, and other lending
agencies. These loans are for a term of
up to 35 years and are secured by a first
mortgage on the borrower’s electric
system. Manufacturers, wishing to sell
their products to RUS electric
borrowers, request RUS consideration
for acceptance of their products and
submit letters of request with
certifications as to the origin of
manufacture of the products and

their products’ compliance with RUS
specifications.

use will not jeopardize loan security.
The information is closely reviewed to
be certain that test data; product
dimensions and product material
compositions fully comply with RUS
technical standards and specifications
that have been established for the
particular product. Without this
information, RUS has no means of
determining the acceptability of
products for use in the rural
environment.
