Abstract: The items covered in this information collection package are received from RUS electric program distribution, generation, and transmission borrowers, who are required by 7 CFR 1730.27 and 1730.28 to identify critical assets and develop an Emergency Restoration Plan (ERP). The ERP details how borrowers will restore systems in the event of a system-wide outage resulting from a major natural or man made disaster or other causes. The ERP also includes preventative measures for emergency recovery from physical and cyber attacks to the borrower's electric systems and addresses Homeland Security concerns.
