Abstract: RUS provides loans and

Rural Electrification Act of 1936, 7

units helps assure the Agency that: (1)
Appropriate standards and
specifications are maintained; (2) RUS
loan security is not adversely affected,
and; (3) Loan and loan guarantee funds
are used effectively and for the intended
purposes. The regulation, 7 CFR part
1728, establishes Agency policy that

Title: Operating Reports for
Telecommunications and Broadband
Borrowers.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0031.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Rural Utilities Service
(RUS), an agency delivering the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
utilities programs, is a credit agency.
RUS makes mortgage loans and loan
guarantees to finance electric,
broadband, telecommunications, and
water and waste facilities in rural areas.
In addition to providing loans and loan
guarantees, one of the Agency’s main
objectives is to safeguard loan security
until the loan is repaid.
This collection of information covers
the Telecommunications Operating
Report, the Broadband Operating
Report, and RUS Form 674, ‘‘Certificate
of Authority to Submit or Grant Access
to Data.’’ The data collected via the
Telecommunications Operating Report
is collected through the USDA Data
Collection System. The data collected
via the Broadband Operating Report is
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
collected through the USDA Broadband
Collection and Analysis System. The
data collected via the
Telecommunication and Broadband
Operating reports is required by the loan
contract and provides Rural
Development with vital financial
information necessary to ensure the
maintenance of the security for the
Government’s loans, and statistical data
to enable the Agency to ensure the
provision of quality telecommunications
and broadband services as mandated by
the Rural Electrification Act (RE Act) of
1936. The data collected through the
operating reports provides financial
information to ensure loan security
consistent with due diligence and is
essential to protect loan security.
The data collected via RUS Form 674
provides information to the Agency to
allow Rural Development Electric,
Telecommunications and Broadband
program Borrowers to file electronic
Operating Reports with the Agency
using the USDA Data Collection System.
RUS Form 674, accompanied by a Board
Resolution, identifies the name and
USDA eAuthentication ID for a certifier
and security administrator who will
have access to the USDA Data
Collection System for purposes of filing
electronic Operating Reports. The
information collected on the RUS Form
674 is submitted in hard copy by
Borrowers only when revisions are
required or, in the case of a first time
Borrower, when initially submitting the
data.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
for this collection of information is
estimated to average 3.67 hours per
response.
Respondents: Business or other forprofits and not-for-profit Institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
730.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.86.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 4,990 hours.
Copies of this information collection
can be obtained from Rebecca Hunt,

Analysis, at (202) 205–3660, Fax: (202)
