The Department of Agriculture has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval of an information collection requirement under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This involves using RUS Form 87, which collects data on the officers and officials of borrowing entities in the Rural Utilities Service's Electric and Telecommunications Programs. The information ensures that communications are correctly targeted and that proper officials are responsible for documents, helping to safeguard the government's interests in loan eligibility and administration. Public comments on this proposal are open until January 21, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Agriculture wants to make sure the right people get important documents to keep their loan programs running smoothly, so they need permission to ask certain questions using a form. People can say what they think about this plan until January 21, 2025.
