Abstract: Most RUS financed electric
systems are cooperatives and are
organized in a two-tiered structure.
Retail customers are members of the
distribution system that provides
electricity to their homes and business.
Distribution cooperatives, in turn, are
members of power supply cooperatives,
also known as generation and
transmission cooperatives (G&T’s) that
generate or purchase power and
transmit the power to the distribution
systems.
For a distribution system, a lien on
the borrower’s assets generally
represents adequate security. However,
since most G&T revenues flow from its
distribution members, RUS requires, as
a condition of a loan or loan guarantee
to a G&T the long-term requirements
wholesale power contract (WPC) to
purchase their power from the G&T at
rates that cover all the G&T’s expenses,
including debt service and margins.
RUS considers Form 444 as an example
for the G&T’s to utilize as either their
WPC or create their own WPC if it has
all the same information as the form.
The WPC is specialized based on the
combined requirements of the G&T and
its members. The WPC is used by RUS
G&T borrowers to enter into agreement
with their distribution members for
purchase of power from the G&T. The
WPC is prepared and executed by the
G&T and each member and by RUS and
the information allows RUS to
determine credit quality and credit
worthiness to determine repayment
ability for loans and loan guarantees.
Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. All responses

In the Matter of: Joyce Marie

States to Iran, including to Mahan Air,
without first obtaining the authorization
from the Office of Foreign Assets
