Sec. 1710.204  Filing requirements for borrowers that must maintain an approved load forecast on an ongoing basis.

    (a) Filing of load forecasts and updates. A power supply or 
distribution borrower required to maintain an approved load forecast on 
an ongoing basis under Sec. 1710.202 or Sec. 1710.203 may elect either 
of the following two methods of compliance:
    (1) Submitting a new load forecast to RUS for review and approval at 
least every 36 months, and then submitting updates to the load forecast 
to RUS for review and approval in each intervening year; or
    (2) Submitting a new load forecast to RUS for review and approval 
not less frequently than every 24 months.
    (b) Extensions. RUS may extend any time period required under this 
section for up to 3 months at the written request of the borrower's 
general manager. A request to extend a time period beyond 3 months must 
be accompanied by a written request from the borrower's general manager, 
an amendment to the borrower's approved load forecast work plan 
incorporating the extension, a board resolution approving the extension 
request and any amendment to the approved load forecast work plan, and 
any other relevant supporting information. RUS may extend the time 
periods contained in this section for up to 24 months.
