Title: RUS Electric Loan Application
and Related Reporting Burdens.
OMB Number: 0572–0032.
Expiration Date of Approval: April 30,
2021.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The Rural Utilities Service
(RUS) was established in 1994 by the
Federal Crop Insurance Reform and
Department of Agriculture
Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L.
103–354, 108 Stat. 3178, 7 U.S.C. 6941
et seq.) as successor to the Rural
Electrification Administration (REA)
with respect to certain programs,
including the electric loan and loan
guarantee program authorized under the
Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7
U.S.C. 901 et seq., as amended) (RE
Act).
The RE Act authorizes and empowers
the Administrator of RUS to make and
guarantee loans to furnish and improve
electric service in rural areas. These
loans are amortized over a period of up
to 35 years and secured by the
borrower’s electric assets and/or
revenue. In the interest of protecting
loan security, monitoring compliance
with debt covenants, and ensuring that
RUS loan funds are used for purposes
authorized by law, RUS requires that
borrowers prepare and submit for RUS
evaluation certain studies and reports.
Some of these studies and reports are
required only once for each loan
application; others must be submitted
periodically until the loan is completely
repaid. These forms and documents
serve as support for electric loan
applications and summarizes the types
and estimated costs of facilities and

equipment for which RUS financing is
being requested.
The RE Act also authorizes and
empowers the Administrator of RUS to
make or cause to be made, studies,
investigations, and reports concerning
the condition and progress of the
electrification of the several States and
Territories; and to publish and
disseminate information with respect
thereto. Information supplied by
borrowers forms the basis of many of
these reports.
In the past two years, RUS has
implemented an application intake
system called RDApply that allows
applicants to create an online
application for RUS loans and grants as
well as upload attachments, sign
certifications, and draw service areas, to
name a few features. RDApply
streamlines the application process, as
well as provides identity security,
reduces paper consumption and is
expected to reduce the burden
associated with this information
collection package over time.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 14.85 hours per
response.
Respondents: Not for profit
organizations, business or other for
profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
625.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 4.72.
Estimated Annual Responses: 2,803.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 41,633 hours.
Copies of this information collection
can be obtained from Robin M. Jones,
Innovation Center—Regulations
Management Division, at (202) 772–
1172, email: [email protected].
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.

Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and its
implementing regulations (5 CFR part
1320), Federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information,’’ within the
meaning of the PRA, includes agency
requests that pose identical questions to,
or impose reporting or recording
keeping obligations on, ten or more
persons, regardless of whether response
to such request is mandatory or
voluntary. See 5 CFR 1320.3(c); see also
44 U.S.C. 3502(3). Before seeking
clearance from OMB, agencies are
generally required, among other things,
to publish both 60-day and 30-day
Notices in the Federal Register
concerning any proposed information

previously-approved collection—and
provide an opportunity for comment.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1).
To comply with this requirement, the
Access Board published its 60-day
Notice in April 2020. See 85 FR 18913
(April 3, 2020). The Access Board is
now publishing this 30-day Notice for
the proposed renewal of this
information collection. OMB’s approval
of the current version of the Access
Board’s Online ABA Complaint Form is
set to expire in August 2020.
OMB Control Number: 3014–0012.
Title: Online Architectural Barriers
Act (ABA) Complaint Form.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: The Access Board is
statutorily charged with enforcing the
ABA through, among other things,
investigation of complaints from
members of the public concerning the
accessibility of covered buildings or
facilities, namely—those owned or
leased by the Federal government, as
well as those constructed or altered
using Federal funds from grants or
loans. See 29 U.S.C. 792(b)(1), (e). At
present, over 90% of individuals elect to
submit their ABA complaints using the
Online ABA Complaint Form; the
remainder are submitted in writing,
without the need to use a hard-copy
complaint form, by email, regular mail,
or fax.
By this notice, the Access Board is
proposing to continue using essentially
the same Online ABA Complaint Form
for another three years. We propose to
make formatting-type changes only that
will make update the ‘‘look and feel’’ of
the online form; we are not making any
material, substantive revisions.
In sum, the Online ABA Complaint
Form seeks information needed by the
Access Board to investigate complaints
and, if desired, contact the complainant.
Mandatory fields are: Name and
location (by city and state) of the
building/facility at issue and
description of accessibility barrier(s).
Optional fields include the building/
facility address and the complainant’s
name and contact information. (Where
provided, a complainant’s identity and
other personal information may not be
disclosed outside the agency without
his or her written permission.)
Individuals may also upload electronic
attachments (e.g., pictures, drawings)
relevant to their complaint, if desired.
Once a complaint is submitted, the
system automatically provides
confirmation of successful submission, a
complaint number, and the option to
print a copy of the submitted complaint.

Complainants who elect to provide an
email address as part of their contact
information also receive an
automatically generated confirmation
email.
Description of Respondents:
Individual members of the public.
Estimated Total Annual Number of
Responses: Approximately 185
individuals submit complaints using the
Online ABA Complaint Form each year.
Estimated Frequency of Response:
Occasional. Complainants submit one
complaint for each building or facility at
which they noted accessibility barriers,
regardless of the number of barriers
encountered.
Estimated Time Burden per Response:
On average, about 30 minutes per online
complaint; the time burden may vary
depending on the number of
accessibility barriers identified in a
complaint. There is no financial burden
to complainants.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Approximately 93 hours.
Request for Comment: Comments are
again invited on: (a) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for performance of the Access
Board’s work; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for the
Access Board to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information
collection; and (d) ways that the burden
could be minimized without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
If you wish to comment in response to
this Notice, you may send your
comments as specified under the
ADDRESSES section of this Notice by
August 10, 2020.

U.S. Commission on Civil Rights will
hold a virtual briefing to evaluate the
impacts of COVID–19 on Native
Americans. In 2018, the Commission

Federal Funding Shortfall for Native
Americans, which addressed the
inadequacy of federal funding for Native
American programs despite the United
States’ trust responsibility to promote
tribal self-government, support the
general wellbeing of Native American
people, tribes and villages, and to
protect their land and resources.
The Commission will hear testimony
from experts on how the pandemic has
impacted Native American communities
with respect to healthcare, housing, and
infrastructure components such as
access to water and broadband, and
whether the federal government is
meeting its obligations to Native
American people in this current crisis.
This briefing is open to the public via
Weblink. The event will live-stream at
https://www.youtube.com/user/USCCR/
videos. (Streaming information subject
to change.) Public participation is
available for the event with view access,
along with an audio option for listening.
