Rural Utilities Service 

Title: Weather Radio Transmitter 

Grant Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0124. 

Summary of Collection: Under the 

authorization of Public Law 106–387 

(FY 2001 Appropriations Act), made 

approximately $5 million in grant funds 

available to facilitate the expansion of 

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration’s (NOAA) Weather 

Radio and Alert System into rural areas 

that are not covered or poorly covered. 

The National Weather Service operates 

an All Hazards Early Warning System 

that alerts people in areas covered by its 

transmissions of approaching dangerous 

weather and other emergencies. The 

National Weather Service can typically 

provide warnings of specific weather 

dangers up to fifteen minutes prior to 

the event. At present, many rural areas 

lack NOAA Weather Radio coverage. 

The Weather Radio Transmitter Grant 

Program will provide grant funds for use 

in rural areas and communities of 

50,000 or less inhabitants. The grant 

funds will be processed on a first-come 

basis until the appropriation is used in 

its entirety. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

RUS will use the information from the 

submission to determine the following: 

(1) That adequate coverage in the area 

does not already exist and that the 

proposed coverage will meet the needs 

of the community; (2) that design 

requirements are met; and (3) that the 

funds needed to complete the project 

are adequate based on the grant and the 

matching portion from the applicant.

Rural Utility Service 

Title: Servicing of Water Programs 

Loans and Grants. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0137. 

Summary of Collection: Authority for 

servicing of Water Programs Loan and 

Grants is contained in Section 306e of 

the Consolidated Farm and Rural 

Development Act, as amended. The 

information collected covers loan and 

grant servicing regulations, 7 CFR part 

1782, which prescribes policies and 

responsibilities for servicing actions 

necessary in connection with Water and 

Environmental Programs (WEP) loans 

and grants. WEP provides loans, 

guaranteed loans and grants for water, 

sewer, storm water, and solid waste 

disposal facilities in rural areas and 

towns of up to 10,000 people. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Rural Utilities Service will collect 

information using various forms. The 

collected information for the most part 

is financial in nature and needed by the 

Agency to determine if borrowers, based 

on their individual situations, qualify 

for the various servicing authorities. 

Servicing actions become necessary due 

to the development of financial or other 

problems and may be initiated by either 

a recipient which recognizes that a 

problem exists and wished to resolve it, 

or by the Agency. If a problem exists, a 

recipient must furnish financial 

information which is used to aid in 

resolving the problem through 

reamortization, sale, transfer, debt 

restructuring, liquidation, or other 

means provided in the regulations. 

Description of Respondents: Business 

or other for-profit; non-profit 

institutions; State and local 

governments. 

Number of Respondents: 493.
