ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: As set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107(b), Rural Development (the SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\05JYN1.SGM 05JYN1 srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 5, 2011 / Notices Agency) has the authority to charge an annual renewal fee for loans made under the Business and Industry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan Program. Pursuant to that authority, the Agency is establishing the renewal fee rate at onefourth of 1 percent for the B&I Guaranteed Loan Program. This rate will apply to all loans obligated in Fiscal Year 2011 that are made under the B&I program. As established in 7 CFR 4279.107, the amount of the fee on each guaranteed loan will be determined by multiplying the fee rate by the outstanding principal loan balance as of December 31, multiplied by the percent of guarantee. As set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107(a) and 4279.119(b)(4), each fiscal year the Agency shall establish a limit on the maximum portion of B&I guarantee authority available for that fiscal year that may be used to guarantee loans with a B&I guarantee fee of 1 percent or guaranteed loans with a guarantee percentage exceeding 80 percent. Allowing the guarantee fee to be reduced to 1 percent or exceeding the 80 percent guarantee on certain B&I guaranteed loans that meet the conditions set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107 and 4279.119, will increase the Agency’s ability to focus guarantee assistance on projects which the Agency has found particularly meritorious. For 1 percent fees, the borrower’s business supports value-added agriculture and results in farmers benefiting financially, or such projects are high impact as defined in 7 CFR 4279.155(b)(5), and located in rural communities that remain persistently poor, which experience long-term population decline and job deterioration, are experiencing trauma as a result of natural disaster, or are experiencing fundamental structural changes in its economic base. For guaranteed loans exceeding 80 percent, such projects must be a high-priority project in accordance with 7 CFR 4279.155 (and meet the other requirements of 7 CFR 4279.119(b)). Not more than 12 percent of the Agency’s quarterly apportioned B&I guarantee authority will be reserved for loan requests with a guarantee fee of 1 percent, and not more than 15 percent of the Agency’s quarterly apportioned guarantee authority will be reserved for guaranteed loan requests with a guarantee percentage exceeding 80 percent. Once the respective quarterly limits are reached, all additional loans for that quarter will be at the standard fee and guarantee limits in 7 CFR part 4279. DATES: Effective Date: July 5, 2011.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107(b), Rural Development (the

[[Page 39069]]

Agency) has the authority to charge an annual renewal fee for loans 
made under the Business and Industry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan Program. 
Pursuant to that authority, the Agency is establishing the renewal fee 
rate at one-fourth of 1 percent for the B&I Guaranteed Loan Program. 
This rate will apply to all loans obligated in Fiscal Year 2011 that 
are made under the B&I program. As established in 7 CFR 4279.107, the 
amount of the fee on each guaranteed loan will be determined by 
multiplying the fee rate by the outstanding principal loan balance as 
of December 31, multiplied by the percent of guarantee.
    As set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107(a) and 4279.119(b)(4), each fiscal 
year the Agency shall establish a limit on the maximum portion of B&I 
guarantee authority available for that fiscal year that may be used to 
guarantee loans with a B&I guarantee fee of 1 percent or guaranteed 
loans with a guarantee percentage exceeding 80 percent.
    Allowing the guarantee fee to be reduced to 1 percent or exceeding 
the 80 percent guarantee on certain B&I guaranteed loans that meet the 
conditions set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107 and 4279.119, will increase the 
Agency's ability to focus guarantee assistance on projects which the 
Agency has found particularly meritorious. For 1 percent fees, the 
borrower's business supports value-added agriculture and results in 
farmers benefiting financially, or such projects are high impact as 
defined in 7 CFR 4279.155(b)(5), and located in rural communities that 
remain persistently poor, which experience long-term population decline 
and job deterioration, are experiencing trauma as a result of natural 
disaster, or are experiencing fundamental structural changes in its 
economic base. For guaranteed loans exceeding 80 percent, such projects 
must be a high-priority project in accordance with 7 CFR 4279.155 (and 
meet the other requirements of 7 CFR 4279.119(b)).
    Not more than 12 percent of the Agency's quarterly apportioned B&I 
guarantee authority will be reserved for loan requests with a guarantee 
fee of 1 percent, and not more than 15 percent of the Agency's 
quarterly apportioned guarantee authority will be reserved for 
guaranteed loan requests with a guarantee percentage exceeding 80 
percent. Once the respective quarterly limits are reached, all 
additional loans for that quarter will be at the standard fee and 
guarantee limits in 7 CFR part 4279.

DATES: Effective Date: July 5, 2011.
