Rural Utility Service
Title: Seismic Safety of New Building
Construction, 7 CFR 1792, Subpart C.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0099.
Summary of Collection: Seismic
hazards present a serious threat to
people and their surroundings. These
hazards exist in most of the United
States, not just on the West Coast.
Unlike hurricanes, times and location of
earthquakes cannot be predicted; most
earthquakes strike without warning and,
if of substantial strength, strike with
great destructive forces. To reduce risks
to life and property from earthquakes,
Congress enacted the Earthquake
Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 (Pub. L.
95–124, 42 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.,) and
directed the establishment and
maintenance of an effective earthquake
reduction program. As a result, the
National Earthquake Hazards Reduction
Program (NEHRP) was established. The
objectives of the NEHRP include the
development of technologically and
economically feasible design and
construction methods to make both new
and existing structures earthquake
resistant, and the development and
promotion of model building codes. 7
CFR part 1792, subpart C, identifies
acceptable seismic standards which
must be employed in new building
construction funded by loans, grants, or
guarantees made by the Rural Utility
Service (RUS) or the Rural Telephone
Bank (RTB) or through lien
accommodations or subordinations
approved by RUS or RTB.
