Title: RUS Form 675, Certification of
Authority.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0074.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service
(RUS) manages loan programs in
accordance with the Rural
Electrification Act of 1936, as amended
(7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.) (RE Act). A major
factor in managing loan programs is
controlling the advance funds,
including assuring that actual borrowers
receive their funds. OMB Circular A–
123, Management Accountability and
Control, provides that information
should be maintained on a current basis
and that funds should be protected from
unauthorized use. The use of RUS Form
675 allows effective control against
unauthorized release of funds by
providing a list of authorized borrower
signatures against which signatures
requesting funds are compared. Form
675 allows borrowers to keep RUS up
to-date of changes in signature authority
and controls release of funds only to
authorized borrower representatives.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
for this collection of information is
estimated to average .10 hours per
response.
Respondents: Not-for-profit
institutions; Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
250.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 25.0 hours.
Copies of this information collection

Dickson, Program Development and
Regulatory Analysis, at (202) 690–1078.
Fax: (202) 720–3485. Email: Thomas

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.
