Title: 7 CFR part 1744, subpart B, Lien
Accommodations and Subordination
Policy.
OMB Control Number: 0572–0126.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: RUS borrowers and other
organizations providing
telecommunications in rural areas, due
to changes in the telecommunications
industry, including deregulation and
technological developments, may
consider undertaking projects that
provide new telecommunications
services and other telecommunications
services not ordinarily financed by RUS.
Although some of these services may
not be eligible for financing under the
Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (RE
Act), the services may nevertheless
advance RE Act objectives where the
borrower obtains financing from private
lenders. To facilitate the financing of
those projects and services, this program
assists in facilitating funding from nonRUS sources in order to meet the
growing capital needs of rural Local
Exchange Carriers (LECs).
The information collected for lien
accommodation requests is used by RUS
to ascertain a borrower’s level of
financial strength and, upon agency
approval of the lien accommodation,
ensures that the government’s loan
security interest is protected.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average .50 hour per
response.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit and non-profit institutions.
