Rural Utilities Service 

Title: RUS Specification for Quality 

Control and Inspection of Timber 

Products. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0076. 

Summary of Collection: The Rural 

Utilities Service (RUS) is a credit agency 

of the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) and is authorized to manage 

loan programs in accordance with the 

Rural Electrification Act (RE Act) of 

1936, 7 U.S.C. 901 et seq., as amended. 

It makes mortgage loans and loan 

guarantees to finance 

telecommunications, electric, and water 

and waste facilities in rural areas. To 

ensure the security of loan funds, 

adequate quality control of timber 

products is vital to loan security on 

electric power systems where hundreds 

of thousands of wood poles and crossarms are used. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

RUS will use the information in 

verifying acceptability of poles and 

cross-arms purchased by RUS 

borrowers. Each year, RUS borrowers 

are required to submit an Annual 

Summary of Purchases that provides a 

list of plants from which it obtained 

poles or cross-arms during the 

preceding calendar year and Treaters 

must provide notification that they will 

treat poles for the upcoming year. Test 

reports are needed so that the purchaser, 

the inspectors, and RUS will be able to 

spot-check the general accuracy of the 

tests.
