SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Interest Rates
The Small Business Administration
publishes an interest rate called the
optional ‘‘peg’’ rate (13 CFR 120.214) on
a quarterly basis. This rate is a weighted
average cost of money to the
government for maturities similar to the
average SBA direct loan. This rate may
be used as a base rate for guaranteed
fluctuating interest rate SBA loans. This
rate will be 4.875 (47⁄8) percent for the
July–September quarter of FY 2007.

[Public Notice 5865]
Notice of Receipt of Application for a
Presidential Permit to Construct a New
Cattle Crossing to the East of an
Existing Cattle Crossing Near San
Luis, AZ
ACTION:
Department of State.
Notice.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Department of State has received an
application for a Presidential permit
authorizing the construction of a new
cattle crossing (the ‘‘San Luis Cattle
Crossing’’) at the United States-Mexican
border 2,500 feet (approximately half a
mile) east of an existing cattle crossing
near San Luis, Arizona. The closing of
the existing cattle crossing and its
relocation to a new location
PO 00000
Frm 00123
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
approximately half a mile to the east is
necessitated by construction of the new
San Luis II commercial border crossing
(scheduled to begin in the summer of
2007) at the location of the existing
cattle crossing. This application has
been filed by the Greater Yuma Port
Authority (GYPA), the original
applicant for the San Luis II commercial
border crossing project. A Presidential
permit for the San Luis II commercial
border crossing was issued by the
Department of State, effective June 30,
2007, to the General Services
Administration (GSA). The Department
of State has determined that, under
Executive Order 11423, as amended, a
separate Presidential permit is required
for the San Luis cattle crossing since it
would constitute a new piercing of the
border.
The Department of State’s jurisdiction
with respect to this application is based
upon Executive Order 11423, dated
August 16, 1968, as amended, which
authorizes the Secretary of State to
receive all applications for permits for
the construction, connection, operation
or maintenance at the borders of the
United States of ‘‘border crossings for
land transportation * * * to or from a
foreign country’’ whether or not in
conjunction with ‘‘facilities for the
transportation of persons or things, or
both, to or from a foreign country.’’
According to the application, the
relocation of the existing San Luis cattle
crossing would primarily involve the
dismantling of the existing cattle pens
(most of which are on the Mexican side
of the border) and their construction or
reassembly at the new site. The
Department is in possession of an
Environmental Assessment (EA)
prepared in connection with the
Department’s evaluation of the
Presidential permit application for the
San Luis II commercial border crossing
and intends to also use that EA in
connection with its evaluation of the
San Luis cattle crossing. The
Department has determined, however,
that this EA does not adequately address
the issues of the odor and manure that
would be generated at the proposed new
cattle crossing site, as well as the issue
of water and sewage services at the new
cattle crossing site. In light of that
determination, the GYPA has submitted
to the Department of State an EA
addendum that specifically addresses
these environmental concerns. As
provided in E.O. 11423, the Department
is circulating the GYPA application,
along with the EA and the EA
Addendum, to concerned agencies for
comment.
