Title: Accounting Requirements for 

Electric and Telecommunications 

Borrowers. 

OMB Control Number: 0572–0003. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: This collection is primarily 

a recordkeeping requirement, although, 

the Agency is requiring borrowers to 

establish an index of records. The hours 

of burden to maintain this index are 

directly related to those portions of the 

accounting system that are unique to the 

Agency. 

Specifically, 7 CFR Parts 1767 and 

1770 establish basic accounting 

requirements for the recording of 

financial information that must be 

available to the management, investors, 

and lenders of any business enterprise. 

There are many important financial 

considerations for the retention and 

preservation of accounting records. One 

of the most important considerations to 

RUS is that documentation be available 

so that the borrower’s records may be 

audited for proper disbursements of 

funds. 7 CFR Parts 1767 and 1770 

prescribe accounting requirements that 

are unique to RUS borrowers. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 2 hours per 

response. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, Not-for-profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents 

and Recordkeepers: 650. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Number of Hours per 

Recordkeeper: 24 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 2100 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Recordkeepers: 26,250 hours.

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.
