Title: Request for Approval to Sell

waste facilities in rural areas. In
addition to providing loans and loan

objectives is to safeguard loan security
until the loan is repaid. When a
borrower enters into the mortgage
agreement with the Agency, all current
and future capital assets of the borrower
are ordinarily mortgaged or pledged to
the Federal Government as security for
Agency loans. The Agency’s policy on
sales of capital assets requires that the
sale meet several requirements
including the following: (1) the selling
price shall be greater than or equal to
the fair market value; and (2) the sale
shall not jeopardize the repayment of
the Agency’s loan.
The selling of assets reduces the
security and increases the risk to the
government. RUS Form 369 allows the
borrower to seek agency permission to
sell some of its assets. The form collects
detailed information regarding the
proposed sales of a portion of the
borrower’s systems. RUS electric utility
borrowers complete this form to request
RUS approval in order to sell capital
assets when the fair market value
exceeds 10 percent of the borrower’s net
utility plant.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 2.074 hours per
response.
Respondents: Nonprofit corporations
and institutions of higher education.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
35.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 2.31.
Estimated Number of Responses: 81.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 168 hours.
Copies of this information collection
can be obtained from Adyam Negasi, RD
Innovation Center—Regulations
Management Division, Telephone: 202–
211–9298, email: adyam.negasi@

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.
