Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service 

supports the sound development of 

rural communities and the growth of 

our economy without endangering the 

environment. RUS provides financial 

and technical assistance to help 

communities bring safe drinking water 

and sanitary, environmentally sound 

waste disposal facilities to rural 

Americans in greatest need. 

The Household Water Well System 

(HWWS) Grant Program makes grants to 

qualified private non-profit 

organizations which will help 

homeowners finance the cost of private 

wells. As the grant recipient, non-profit 

organizations will establish a revolving 

loan fund lending program to provide 

water well loans to individuals who 

own or will own private wells in rural 

areas. The individual loan recipients 

may use the funds to construct, 

refurbish, and service their household 

well systems for an existing home. The 

collection of information consists of the 

materials to file a grant application with 

the agency, including forms, 

certifications and required 

documentation. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 5.9 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Non-profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 17.5 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 1,033 Hours.
