Summary of Collection: The Rural
Electrification Act of 1936 (RE Act), 7
U.S.C. 901 et seq., was amended in 2002
by Title IV, Rural Broadband Access, by
Farm Security and rural Investment Act,
which authorizes Rural Utilities Service
(RUS) to provide loans and loan
guarantees to fund the cost of
construction, improvement, or
acquisition for facilities and equipment
for the provision of broadband service
in eligible rural communities in the
States and territories of the United
States. Title VI of the RE Act requires
that loans are granted only to borrowers
who demonstrated that they will be able
to repay in full within the time agreed.
RUS has established certain standards
and specification for materials,
equipment and construction to assure
that standards are maintained; loans are
not adversely affected, and loans are
used for intended purposes.
Need and Use of the Information:
RUS has developed specific forms for
borrowers to use when entering into

information collected is used to
implement certain provisions of loan
documents about the borrower’s
purchase of materials and equipment
and the construction of its broadband
system and is provided on an as needed
basis or when the individual borrower
undertakes certain projects. The
standardization of the forms has
resulted in substantial savings to
