Rural Utilities Service

    Title: Broadband Grant Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0572-0127.
    Summary of Collection: Congress has recognized the need to 
facilitate the deployment of broadband service to un-served rural 
areas. The provision to broadband transmission service is vital to the 
economic development, education, health, and safety of rural Americans.
    The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004 (Title III, Pub. L. 108-
199, Stat.3), 7 CFR 1739 Subpart A, as amended, authorizes the Rural 
Development, Rural Utilities Service (RUS) to administer the Community 
Connect Grant Program for the provision of broadband transmission 
service in rural America. Grant authority is utilized to deploy 
broadband infrastructure to extremely rural, lower income communities 
on a ``community-oriented connectivity'' basis.
    Need and Use of the Information: RUS gives priority to rural areas 
that it believes have the greatest need for broadband transmission 
services. This broadband access is intended to promote economic 
development and provide enhanced educational and health care 
opportunities. RUS will provide 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.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-
profit institutions; State, Local and Tribal Governments.
