To further this objective, RUS provides
financial assistance in the form of grants
to eligible entities that propose, on a
‘‘community-oriented connectivity’’
basis, to provide broadband
transmission service that fosters
economic growth and delivers enhanced
educational, health care, and public
safety services to extremely rural, lower
income communities. The Agency gives
priority to rural areas that it believes
have the greatest need for broadband
transmission services. Grant authority is
utilized to deploy broadband
infrastructure to extremely rural, lower
income communities on a ‘‘communityoriented connectivity’’ basis. The
‘‘community-oriented connectivity’’
concept integrates the deployment of
broadband infrastructure with the
practical, everyday uses and
applications of the facilities. This
broadband access is intended to
promote economic development and
provide enhanced educational and
health care opportunities. The Agency
provides financial assistance to eligible
entities that are proposing to deploy
broadband transmission service in rural
communities where such service does
not currently exist and who will
connect the critical community facilities
including the local schools, libraries,
hospitals, police, fire and rescue
services and who will operate a
community center that provides free
and open access to residents. The
reporting burden covered by this
collection of information consists of
forms, documents and written burden to
support an application request for grant
funding.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 126.5 hours per
response.
Respondents: Public bodies,
commercial companies, cooperatives,
nonprofits, Indian tribes, and limited
dividend or mutual associations and
must be incorporated or a limited
liability company.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
73.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 12,286.
Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information including the
validity of the methodology and
