The interest rate must remain fixed while the IDAP loan is in the Initial Period. Term Period: In the event that the IDAP loan enters the Term Period (as defined in 13 CFR 123.700(b)(17)), the interest rate may remain fixed at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate for the Initial Period as described above or may begin to fluctuate at a variable rate that is not more than the prime rate in effect on the first business day of the month in which the Term Period begins, as printed in a national financial newspaper published each business day, plus one percentage point. If the rate during the Term Period is a variable rate, the lender must specify in the Note the frequency at which the interest rate adjustment will occur (the ‘‘adjustment period’’), and such adjustments may not occur more frequently than monthly.

The change in interest rate is effective on that day whether or not the lender gives the borrower notice of the change. The adjustment period may not be changed without the written agreement of the borrower. Any future change to interest rates on IDAP Loans will be published in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 
2008 (the Farm Act), Public Law 110-246, enacted June 18, 2008, amended 
the Small Business Act (the Act) and authorized changes to make SBA's 
disaster assistance program more accessible to disaster victims. One 
provision included in the Farm Act requires SBA to implement an 
Immediate Disaster Assistance Program (IDAP) to provide interim loans 
to businesses affected by a disaster that meet the basic eligibility 
standards for a disaster loan authorized under section 7(b) of the Act. 
The provision authorizes SBA to provide an 85 percent guarantee on 
loans made by participating lenders for up to $25,000. The intent of 
the IDAP loan program is to provide bridge financing as quickly and as 
prudently as possible following a declared disaster while the business 
is awaiting approval for permanent financing through a direct disaster 
loan from SBA.
    Agency regulations implementing the IDAP loan program state that 
the maximum interest rates an IDAP Lender may charge an IDAP Borrower 
during the Initial Period and Term Period will be published in the 
Federal Register from time to time. 13 CFR 123.703(e). This notice 
establishes the maximum interest rates for IDAP loans as follows:
    Initial Period: The maximum interest rate an IDAP Lender may charge 
an IDAP Borrower during the Initial Period (as defined in 13 CFR 
123.700(b)(1)) is the prime rate in effect on the first business day of 
the month in which SBA receives the IDAP loan application, as printed 
in a national financial newspaper published each business day, plus one 
percentage point. The interest rate must remain fixed while the IDAP 
loan is in the Initial Period.
    Term Period: In the event that the IDAP loan enters the Term Period 
(as defined in 13 CFR 123.700(b)(17)), the interest rate may remain 
fixed at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate for the Initial Period 
as described above or may begin to fluctuate at a variable rate that is 
not more than the prime rate in effect on the first business day of the 
month in which the Term Period begins, as printed in a national 
financial newspaper published each business day, plus one percentage 
point. If the rate during the Term Period is a variable rate, the 
lender must specify in the Note the frequency at which the interest 
rate adjustment will occur (the ``adjustment period''), and such 
adjustments may not occur more frequently than monthly. The lender 
shall adjust the interest rate on the first calendar day of each 
adjustment period using the prime rate in effect on the first business 
day of the adjustment period, plus one percentage point. The change in 
interest rate is effective on that day whether or not the lender gives 
the borrower notice of the change. The adjustment period may not be 
changed without the written agreement of the borrower.
    Any future change to interest rates on IDAP Loans will be published
