SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Regulations for these programs are at 7 CFR part 1703, subpart B. The maximum loan and grant awards are determined in accordance with 7 CFR 1703.28. The maximum loan and grant awards are calculated at 3.0 percent of the projected program levels, rounded to the nearest $10,000; however, as specified in 7 CFR 1703.28(b), regardless of the projected total amount that will be available, the maximum size may not be lower than $200,000. The projected program level during FY 2007 for zero-interest loans is $34,652,000, and the projected level for grants is $10,000,000. Applying the 3.0 percent to the program level for loans, rounded to the nearest $10,000, results in a E:\FR\FM\08DEN1.SGM 08DEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 236 / Friday, December 8, 2006 / Notices projected maximum loan award of $1,040,000.

This notice will be amended should funding in excess of the projected levels be received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Regulations for these programs are at 7 
CFR part 1703, subpart B. The maximum loan and grant awards are 
determined in accordance with 7 CFR 1703.28. The maximum loan and grant 
awards are calculated at 3.0 percent of the projected program levels, 
rounded to the nearest $10,000; however, as specified in 7 CFR 
1703.28(b), regardless of the projected total amount that will be 
available, the maximum size may not be lower than $200,000. The 
projected program level during FY 2007 for zero-interest loans is 
$34,652,000, and the projected level for grants is $10,000,000. 
Applying the 3.0 percent to the program level for loans, rounded to the 
nearest $10,000, results in a

[[Page 71129]]

projected maximum loan award of $1,040,000. Applying the specified 3.0 
percent to the program level for grants results in an amount higher 
than $200,000. Therefore, the projected grant award for FY 2007 is 
$300,000. This notice will be amended should funding in excess of the 
projected levels be received.
