SUMMARY:

Jkt 247001
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
The Agency received one comment in
response to the 60-day notice published
in the Federal Register of August 22,
2018 (83 FR 42459).

Summary of Collection: The Rural
Utilities Service (RUS) is authorized by
the Rural Electrification Act (RE Act) of
1936, as amended, ‘‘to make loans in
several States and territories of the
United States for rural electrification
and for the purpose of furnishing and
improving electric and telephone
service in rural areas and to assist
electric borrowers to implement
demand side management, energy
conservation programs, and on-grid and
off-grid renewable energy systems.’’
Borrowers will provide the agency with
information that supports the use of the
funds as well as identify the type of
projects for which they will use the
funds.
Need and use of the Information: RUS
electric borrowers will submit RUS form
595 and 219. Form 595, Financial
Requirement & Expenditure Statement,
to request an advance of loan funds
remaining for an existing approved loan
and to report on the expenditure of

and empowered to make loans under
certain specified circumstances for rural
electrification and the furnishing of
