Title: RUS Electric Loan Application
and Related Reporting Burdens.
OMB Number: 0572–0032.
Expiration Date of Approval: April 30,
2021.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service
(RUS) was established in 1994 by the
Federal Crop Insurance Reform and
Department of Agriculture
Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L.
103–354, 108 Stat. 3178, 7 U.S.C. 6941
et seq.) as successor to the Rural
Electrification Administration (REA)
with respect to certain programs,
including the electric loan and loan
guarantee program authorized under the
Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7
U.S.C. 901 et seq., as amended) (RE
Act).
The RE Act authorizes and empowers
the Administrator of RUS to make and
guarantee loans to furnish and improve
electric service in rural areas. These
loans are amortized over a period of up
to 35 years and secured by the
borrower’s electric assets and/or
revenue. In the interest of protecting
loan security, monitoring compliance
with debt covenants, and ensuring that
RUS loan funds are used for purposes
authorized by law, RUS requires that
borrowers prepare and submit for RUS
evaluation certain studies and reports.
Some of these studies and reports are
required only once for each loan
application; others must be submitted
periodically until the loan is completely
repaid. These forms and documents
serve as support for electric loan
applications and summarizes the types
and estimated costs of facilities and

equipment for which RUS financing is
being requested.
The RE Act also authorizes and
empowers the Administrator of RUS to
make or cause to be made, studies,
investigations, and reports concerning
the condition and progress of the
electrification of the several States and
Territories; and to publish and
disseminate information with respect
thereto. Information supplied by
borrowers forms the basis of many of
these reports.
In the past two years, RUS has
implemented an application intake
system called RDApply that allows
applicants to create an online
application for RUS loans and grants as
well as upload attachments, sign
certifications, and draw service areas, to
name a few features. RDApply
streamlines the application process, as
well as provides identity security,
reduces paper consumption and is
expected to reduce the burden
associated with this information
collection package over time.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 14.85 hours per
response.
Respondents: Not for profit
organizations, business or other for
profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
625.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 4.72.
Estimated Annual Responses: 2,803.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 41,633 hours.
Copies of this information collection
can be obtained from Robin M. Jones,
Innovation Center—Regulations
Management Division, at (202) 772–
1172, email: robin.m.jones@usda.gov.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
