Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
6 CFR Chapter I
ACTION:
[DHS 2008–0076]
SUMMARY: The Rural Utilities Service, an
agency delivering the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Rural Development Utilities Program,
hereinafter referred to as Rural
Development and/or the Agency,
amends its regulations for the
Telecommunications Loan Program
(Loan Program). The Agency has
reviewed its criteria for approving loans
and has determined that modifications
to the Loan Program regulations are
required in order to ensure that some
financially sound applicants are not
excluded from the Loan Program.
Specifically, this rule will modify the
Times Interest Earned Ratio (TIER)
requirements that an applicant must
comply with when receiving a loan. In
addition, the rule is part of an ongoing
Agency project to update Agency
policies to enable borrowers to provide
reliable, modern telecommunications
service at reasonable costs in rural areas,
while maintaining the security and
feasibility of the Government’s loans.
In the final rules section of this
Federal Register, Rural Development is
publishing this action as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no
adverse comments. If no adverse
comments are received in response to
the direct final rule, no further action
will be taken on this proposed rule and
the action will become effective at the
time specified in the direct final rule. If
the Agency receives adverse comments,
a timely document will be published
withdrawing the direct final rule and all
public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this action.
DATES: Comments on this proposed
action must be received by Rural
Development or carry a postmark or
equivalent no later than December 5,
2008.
