cause the borrower to exceed its
allowable qualified investment level as
determined in accordance with the
procedures set forth in 7 CFR part 1744,
subpart E. RUS requests that the
borrower submit (1) a description of the
rural development project and type of
investment; (2) a reasonable estimate of
the amount the borrower is committed
to provide to the project including
future expenditures; and (3) a pro forma
balance sheet and cash flow statement
for the period covering the borrower’s
future commitments to determine that
the ‘‘excess’’ or proposed ‘‘excess’’
investments will not impair the
borrower’s ability to repay the loan or
cause financial hardship.
Need and Use of the Information:
RUS will collect information to consider
whether or not to approve a borrower’s
request to make an investment in a rural
development project when such an
investment would cause the borrower to
exceed its allowable investment level. If

Rural Utilities Service
Title: 7 CFR 1730, Review Rating
Summary.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0025.
Summary of Collection: The Rural
Utilities Service (RUS) manages loan
programs in accordance with the Rural
Electrification Act (RE Act) of 1936, 7
U.S.C. 901 et seq., as amended. An
important part of safeguarding loan
security is to see that RUS financed
facilities are being responsibly used,
adequately operated, and adequately
maintained. Future needs have to be
anticipated to ensure that facilities will
continue to produce revenue and that
loans will be repaid as required by the
RUS mortgage. Regular periodic
operations and maintenance (O&M)
review can identify and correct
inadequate O&M practices before they
cause extensive harm to the system.
Inadequate O&M practices can result in
public safety hazards, increased power
outages for consumers, added expense
for emergency maintenance, and
premature aging of the borrower’s
systems, which could increase the loan
security risk to RUS.
Need and Use of the Information:
RUS will collect information using form

items that may be in need of additional

when needed; to budget funds and
manpower for needed work; and to
initiate ongoing programs as necessary
to avoid or minimize the need for
‘‘catch-up’’ programs.
Description of Respondents: Not-forprofit institutions; Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 229.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:

urgent removal extension is requested;
(4) Quantity of urgent removal from
qualifying catastrophic event purchaser
has under contract and/or plans to
harvest subject to approval by FS of
urgent removal extension of sale(s)
