Short Statement: This is a revision of a previously approved collection. The total burden has been increased because of the added benefit amount in the calculation however there are fewer number of respondents due to the availability of the Reconnect program during the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. This trend is expected to continue under the covered current REA Infrastructure Telecom Loan Program and the Farm Bill Broadband Loan Program. The quantity of new program applications and loan awards, and the construction maturity stages of current projects are contributing to this trend. Costs of labor for public and government employees have been updated to the current published wage rates.
