This information collection consists of the required application materials for applicants to apply for the grant programs.
On January 22, 2010, RUS published its second and final Notice of Funds Availability in the Federal Register announcing the final round of funding for the RUS Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) authorized by the Recovery Act (Federal Register, Volume 75, No. 14, January 22, 2010). As part of that notice, RUS created three new categories for funding to be solicited by publication of a Request for Proposals (RFP). The RFP details those requirements with respect to application contents, as well as eligible expenses under each funding opportunity. The Recovery Act requires that all funding must be obligated by September 30, 2010. To accomplish this for these three new initiatives, prompt approval of the paperwork burden package is imperative. In order to provide applicants with sufficient time to complete and submit applications, and allow the agency sufficient time to review, process and award grants, the agency requests review and approval of this emergency paperwork collection package as soon as possible so that RUS can continue accepting applications for the national broadband initiative created by the Recovery Act. This ction was created by Congress under the 2009 Recovery Act. Before funds can become available, paperwork clearance is required on the associated burden. In compliance with OMB regulations (5 CFR part 13320), which implements the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.L. 104-13), the information collection requirements imposed by this action are submitted to OMB for emergency review and approval.
