Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 73 / Wednesday, April 16, 2014 / Notices
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: RUS Bulletin 1728H–702
and 7 CFR 1728.202 describe the
responsibilities and procedures
pertaining to the quality control by
producers and pertaining to inspection
of timber products produced in
accordance with RUS specifications. In
order to ensure the security of loan
funds, adequate quality control of
timber products is vital to loan security
on electric power systems where
hundreds of thousands of wood poles
and cross-arms are used. Since RUS and
its borrowers do not have the expertise
or manpower to quickly determine
imperfections in the wood products or
their preservatives treatments, they
must obtain service of an inspection
agency to insure that the specifications
for wood poles and cross-arms are being
met. Copies of test reports on various
preservatives must accompany each
load of poles treated at the same time in
a pressure cylinder (charge) as required
by 7 CFR 1728.202(i). RUS feels the
importance of safety concerns are
enough to justify requiring test reports
so that the purchaser, inspectors, and
RUS will be able to spot check the
general accuracy and reliability of the
tests.
Estimate of Burden: This collection of
information is estimated to average 1
hour per response.
Respondents: Not-for-profit
institutions; business or other for profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
25.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1,600.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 40,000 hours.

Analysis, at (202) 205–3660, FAX:

All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
