AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Rural Business-Cooperative
Service (RBS) announces the availability
of funds for fiscal year (FY) 2006 to
purchase renewable energy systems and
make energy efficiency improvements
for agriculture producers and rural
small businesses in eligible rural areas.
The amount available for competitive
grants is $11.385 million.
Approximately $176.5 million in
guaranteed loan authority is also
available. Any guarantee loan funds that
are not obligated by August 1, 2006, will
be pooled and revert to the National
Office reserve for grant use. USDA is
currently in the process of evaluating
the potential for a direct loan program
to help finance renewable energy and
energy efficiency projects for rural small
businesses and agricultural producers.
Therefore, for purposes of FY 2006,
funding will be limited to grants and
guaranteed loans.
For renewable energy systems, the
minimum grant request is $2,500 and
the maximum is $500,000. For energy
efficiency improvements, the minimum
acceptable grant request is $1,500 and
the maximum is $250,000. The
maximum amount of a guaranteed loan
made to a borrower will be $10 million.
For FY 2006, the guarantee fee amount
is 1.0% (one percent) of the guaranteed
portion of the loan and the annual
renewal fee is 0.125% (one-eighth of
one percent) of the guaranteed portion
of the loan.
DATES: The United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) will conduct one
competitive grant solicitation in 2006.
Applications must be completed and
submitted to the appropriate USDA
Rural Development State Office
postmarked no later than May 12, 2006.
