Rural Development Regulations—
Update to FmHA References and to
Census References
Rural Business-Cooperative
Service, Rural Housing Service, Rural
Utilities Service, Farm Service Agency,
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
Rural Development (RD) is
amending its regulations by updating
references to the Farmers Home
Administration (FmHA) and clarifying
and updating references to the census
data. These actions will provide
consistency in terminology between
program regulations. In addition,
clarifying and updating references to
census data is needed to account for
changes to the decennial Census, which,
starting with the 2010 decennial Census
is no longer reporting income and
unemployment data. Additional
revisions are being implemented to
show the regulations that do not apply
to the Farm Service Agency (FSA) and
to remove outdated or unnecessary
language.

This action is not subject to the
provisions of Executive Order 12372,
which requires intergovernmental
consultation with State and local
officials.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform
This rule has been reviewed under
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform. RD has determined that this
rule meets the applicable standards

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This rule contains no Federal
mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of Title II of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995) for State,
local, and Tribal governments or the
private sector. Thus, this rule is not
subject to the requirements of sections
202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under section 605(b) of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
605(b), RD certifies that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because the action will not affect a
significant number of small entities as
defined by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 501). RBS made this
determination based on the fact that this

Many RD regulations still contain
references to the Farmers Home
Administration, or FmHA, which was
the predecessor agency to both RD and
FSA.
FmHA references most frequently
encountered in RD regulations are in
reference to forms, instructions, and
addresses. RD is either removing
references that are no longer necessary
or updating the FmHA references to
reflect the appropriate entity, as
applicable. New references will be to
RD, Agency, to the specific RD agency
(Rural Business-Cooperative Service,
Rural Housing Service, Rural Utilities
Service), to the ‘‘government,’’ or to the
United States, depending on the context
of the regulation. Where necessary in
individual RD regulations, definitions
have been changed or added to reflect
the new reference(s).
The policies contained in this rule do
not have any substantial direct effect on
states, on the relationship between the
national government and the states, or
on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Nor does this rule
impose substantial direct compliance
costs on state and local governments.
Therefore, consultation with states is
not required.
Executive Order 13175, Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
This executive order imposes
requirements on RD in the development
of regulatory policies that have Tribal
implications or preempt tribal laws. RD
has determined that the rule does not,
to our knowledge, have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
Tribe(s) or on either the relationship or
the distribution of powers and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian Tribes. Thus,
this rule is not subject to the
requirements of Executive Order 13175.
If a Tribe determines that this rule has
implications of which RD is not aware
and would like to engage with RD on
this rule, please contact RD’s Native
American Coordinator at (202) 690–
1681 or AIAN@wdc.usda.gov.
Paperwork Reduction Act
There are no reporting and
recordkeeping requirements associated
with this rule.
E-Government Act Compliance
RD is committed to complying with
the E-Government Act, to promote the
use of the Internet and other
information technologies, to provide
increased opportunities for citizens to
access Government information and
services electronically.
I. Background and Discussion
RD is amending numerous RD
regulations in two broad areas—
references to the Farmners Home
Administration and references to
Bureau of Census data. For those RD
regulations affected by these two areas,
RD is also making several additional
changes by updating the text with
regard to applicability of the regulations
to the FSA; removing or updating

II. Discussion of Changes
A. Farmers Home Administration
(FmHA)
B. Census References
Many RD regulations refer to census
data as the source to be used for various
popluation-, income-, and
unemployment-related data. RD is
amending those portions of its
regulations that reference U.S. Bureau of
Census (Census Bureau) and its data
primarily due to changes in the data
being reported by the Census Bureau in
the decennial Census.
Other changes are being implemented
to further consistency among RD
programs in referencing sources to be
used for population-related data
requirements and provisions and to
provide clarification of how provisions
are implemented. Finally, RD is
removing outdated or unnecessary text.
The following paragraphs discuss
these changes.
1. Census Bureau data. RD allocates
the funding for a number of its programs
using formulas that rely on data
supplied by the Census Bureau,
frequently as found in the decennial
Census. Most RD regulations refer to
this as ‘‘using the latest census data
available’’ or similar language.
Starting with the 2010 census,
however, the Census Bureau no longer
reports income data in the decennial
Census. Thus, RD needs to identify an
alternative source for income-related
data.
After examining several alternative
data sources, RD determined that
income data published by the Census
Bureau in the American Community
E:\FR\FM\24FER2.SGM
24FER2
9858
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Survey (ACS), as found in the 5-year
survey component of the ACS, provides
the best source of data for estimates of
state-level income and poverty data,
even though such are no longer being
published in the decennial Census. RD
is also aware that the data contained in
the ACS may not meet the needs of a
specific program and that the ACS may
at some point in the future be replaced
or discontinued. For these reasons, RD
is using ‘‘5-year income data from the
American Community Survey (ACS) or,
if needed, other Census Bureau data’’ to
indicate the source of the data to be
used.
In some instances, RD regulations
refer to using other data sources for
income-related data if the ACS or
Census Bureau data are outdated. RD is
retaining that concept where it currently
exists, but modifying the language to
address the revision noted in the
preceding paragraph.
2. Consistency and clarification. As
described below, RD is making several
changes to create consistency between
the RD programs.
a. Whenever a regulation is directing
the use of the decennial Census as the
data source, RD is using ‘‘the most
recent decennial Census of the United
States (decennial Census)’’ consistently
throughout the RD regulations. This
change brings consistency among the
three RD agencies and their regulations.
b. RD regulations apply not only to
what most people understand as the 50
states of the United States, but also to
the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico,
Guam, American Samoa, the Marshall
Islands, etc. The decennial Census does
not report population for most of these
territories. Some, but not all, of the RD
regulations clearly identify how
population data are to be obtained for
these other areas. To make this
consistent, RD is revising text to make
clear in all its regulations the data
sources to be used. Specifically, if the
decennial Census does not provide the
applicable population information, then
RD will determine the applicable
population data based on available
population data.
C. FSA Related Changes
When they were operating as the
Farmers Home Adminstration, RD and
FSA shared many regulations. With RD
and FSA now separate entities, many of
the regulations in 7 CFR no longer apply
to FSA. Some of these regulations have
already been identified as no longer
being applicable to FSA. There are a few
regulations, however, that still need to
be identified as no being applicable to
FSA and RD is adding text to that effect.
The regulations are: 7 CFR 1900 subpart
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:01 Feb 23, 2015
Jkt 235001
A, 7 CFR 1902 subpart A, and 7 CFR
1910 subpart B.
D. Outdated and/or Unnecessary Text in
Those Parts and Subparts That Contain
Either Reference to Census Bureau or
FmHA
RD is modifying the identified scoring
criterion by adding reference to making
the calculation using the an ‘‘equivalent
time frame’’ in those instances where
data is used from a data source other
than the decennial Census.
Once RD identified those CFR parts
that need updating with regard to
references to FmHA and the Census
Bureau, RD also identified a number of
other outdated or unnecessary material,
and thus is revising such material. In
brief, these changes:
• Remove reference to Rand McNally
and Company as an alternative source of
population data (7 CFR 1735.2, 7 CFR
1737.2);
• Remove references to a Federal
Communications Commission Web site
and to a Census Tiger Map (7 CFR
1740.8(b)(1)(i) and (c)(1);
• Remove a series of Agency forms
from 7 CFR 1980, Subpart E and their
conforming references. Specifically, RD
will no longer publish in the CFR RD
forms identified as: (1) Appendix A, (2)
Appendix B, (3) Appendix F, (4)
Exhibits A through C to Appendix I to
Subpart E of Part 1980, and (5) Exhibits
A through C to Appendix K to Subpart
E of Part 1980. The applicable forms
will continue to be available in RD
offices and through RD’s Web site;
• Remove reference to the year 2000
as it currently modifies ‘‘Census block’’
in 7 CFR 1709(b);
• Remove the first paragraph in the
definition of Rural and rural area in 7
CFR 3575.1. This paragraph references
Fiscal Year 1999 and is thus obsolete;
and
• Update the reference to the
Legislative Affairs and Public
Information Staff (LAPIS) with the
Legislative and Public Affairs Staff
(LAPAS) (7 CFR parts 1942, 1944, 1948,
and 1980).
List of Subjects
E. Other
7 CFR Part 1775
For the Rural Economic Development
Loan and Grant (REDLG) program, RD is
modifying both the definition of Rural
or rural area’’ (7 CFR 4280.3) and the
scoring criterion associated with the
decline in population for the county
where the project is physically located
(7 CFR 4280.42(b)(7)).
RD is modifying the definition of
‘‘Rural or rural area’’ for REDLG to make
the definition consistent with the
definition for ‘‘rural or rural area’’ found
in the Rural Microentrepreneur
Assistance Program (RMAP), whose
definition is more comprehensive and
consistent with other definitions with
Rural Business-Cooperative Service
programs.

General.
(a) The Standards of Ethical Conduct
for Employees of the Executive Branch
requires the maintenance of high
standards of honesty, integrity, and
impartiality by employees. To reduce
the potential for employee conflict of
interest, any processing, approval,
servicing or review activity, including
access through automated information
systems, is conducted only by
authorized Rural Development
employees who:
*
*
*
*
*
(b) No provision of this subpart takes
precedence over individual program
requirements or restrictions relating to
eligibility for Rural Development
assistance to Rural Development
employees, members of families of
employees, close relatives, or business
or close personal associates of
employees.
*

Jkt 235001
§ 1900.153 Identifying and reporting an
employee relationship.
(a) Responsibility of applicant. When
an application for assistance is filed, the
processing official asks if there is any
known relationship or association with
a Rural Development employee. The
applicant is required to disclose the
requested information under pertinent
program regulations.
(b) Responsibility of the Rural
Development employee. A Rural
Development employee who knows he
or she is related to or associated with an
applicant or recipient, regardless of
whether the relationship or association
is known to others, is required to notify
the Rural Development official who is
processing or servicing the assistance, in
writing. RD Guide Letter 1900–D–1
(available in any RD office) may be used
as the notice. If the appropriate official
is not known, the State Director should
be notified. Regardless of whether the
relationship or association is defined in
PO 00000
Frm 00013

§ 1900.152, if the employee believes
there may be a potential conflict of
interest, the Rural Development official
who is processing or servicing the
assistance may be notified and special
handling requested. An employee’s
request that the case receive special
handling is usually honored.
(c) Responsibility of the Rural
Development official. When any
relationship or association is identified,
the Rural Development official
completes and submits RD Guide Letter
1900–D–2 to the State Director (or
Administrator, under paragraph (e) of
this section or § 1900.155(a)). When
completed, RD Guide Letter 1900–D–3
is returned by the State Director, the
processing official;
(d) Relationship or association
established after application for Rural
Development assistance. If a
relationship or association is established
after an application has been filed or
assistance has been provided, both
recipient and employee are required to
notify the Rural Development official as
described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this section.
(e) Relationship or association with a
State Office, Finance Office or National
Office employee. If an identified
relationship or association is with an
employee at a State Office (other than a
State Director), Finance Office or
National Office, the processing/
servicing official completes and submits
RD Guide Letter 1900–D–2 to the State
Director in the normal manner. The
State Director reviews the information,
determines the need for special
handling, designates the processing/
servicing official, completes and
submits RD Guide Letter 1900–D–3 to
the Administrator for written
concurrence. When the Administrator’s
concurrence is received, the State
Director returns completed RD Guide
Letter 1900–D–3 to the original official
who completes the action described in
paragraph (c) of this section.
(f) Relationship or association with a
State Director. If an identified
relationship or association is with a
State Director, the processing/servicing
official completes and submits RD
Guide Letter 1900–D–2 to the
Administrator. The Administrator
reviews, determines the need for special
handling, designates the processing/
servicing official, completes and returns
RD Guide Letter 1900–D–3 to the
original official who completes the
action described in paragraph (c) of this
section.
(g) Change in relationship or
association, status of Rural
Development assistance, or employee’s
duty station. If the relationship or

association has changed, the application
denied or the assistance otherwise
terminated, or Rural Development
employee’s duty station changed, the
designated processing/servicing official
completes RD Guide Letter 1900–D–2
with the new information and submits
it. The review process takes place as
described in paragraphs (a) through (e)
of this section to determine if
processing/servicing activity may return
to normal or requires another change. If
the assistance is denied or otherwise
terminated, the designated official
notifies the original official.

Sale procedures (chattel).
(a) Credit sales. Although cash sales
are preferred in the sale of chattel, credit
sales may be used advantageously in the
sale of chattels to eligible purchasers
and to facilitate sales of high-priced
chattels. Credit sales to eligible
purchasers will be in accordance with
the provisions of this chapter for the
appropriate program for which a loan
would otherwise be made including
eligibility determinations. Preference
will be given to a cash offer that is at
least * percent of the higher offer
requiring credit. [*Refer to exhibit B of
RD Instruction 440.1 (available in any
Rural Development office) for the
current percentage.] Credit sales made
to ineligible purchasers will require not
less than a 10 percent downpayment
with the remaining balance amortized
over a period not to exceed 5 years. The
interest rate for ineligible purchasers of
C&BP chattel will be the current
ineligible interest rate for C&BP
property set forth in Exhibit B of RD
Instruction 440.1 (available in any Rural
Development office). District Directors
and State Directors are authorized to
approve or disapprove sale of C&BP
chattel on ineligible terms in accordance
with the respective type of program
approval authorities in Exhibit E of
Subpart A of Part 1901 of this chapter
(available in any Rural Development
office). For other than C&BP, credit sales
to NP purchasers will be handled in
accordance with Subpart J of Part 1951
of this chapter.

Rural areas are any areas other than a
city or town that has a population of
greater than 50,000 inhabitants; and the
urbanized area contiguous and adjacent
to such a city or town, as defined by the
U.S. Bureau of the Census. For the

If the applicable population figure
cannot be obtained from the most recent

ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Rural Development (RD) is amending its regulations by updating
references to the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) and clarifying and
updating references to the census data. These actions will provide
consistency in terminology between program regulations. In addition,
clarifying and updating references to census data is needed to account
for changes to the decennial Census, which, starting with the 2010
decennial Census is no longer reporting income and unemployment data.
Additional revisions are being implemented to show the regulations that
do not apply to the Farm Service Agency (FSA) and to remove outdated or
unnecessary language.
DATES: This rule will become effective April 27, 2015 without further
action unless the Agency receives significant written adverse comments
or written notices of intent to submit adverse comments on or before
March 26, 2015. If the Agency receives significant adverse comments or
notices, the Agency will publish a timely notice in the Federal
Register withdrawing those provisions on which adverse comment were
received.

submit adverse comments to this rule by any of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
Mail: Submit written comments via the U.S. Postal Service
to the Branch Chief, Regulations and Paperwork Management Branch, U.S.

Appeals Division of USDA at 7 CFR part 11.
Environmental Impact Statement
This document has been reviewed in accordance with 7 CFR part 1940,
subpart G, ``Environmental Program.'' RD has determined that this
action does not constitute a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment and, in accordance with
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq., an Environmental Impact Statement is not required.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This rule contains no Federal mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995) for
State, local, and Tribal governments or the private sector. Thus, this
rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
605(b), RD certifies that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the
action will not affect a significant number of small entities as
defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 501). RBS made this
determination based on the fact that this action only impacts internal
Agency procedures for determining how much of available program funds
are allocated to each state. Small entities will not be impacted to a
greater extent than large entities.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism
The policies contained in this rule do not have any substantial
direct effect on states, on the relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government. Nor does this
rule impose substantial direct compliance costs on state and local
governments. Therefore, consultation with states is not required.
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
This executive order imposes requirements on RD in the development
of regulatory policies that have Tribal implications or preempt tribal
laws. RD has determined that the rule does not, to our knowledge, have
a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian Tribe(s) or on either
the relationship or the distribution of powers and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. Thus, this rule is
not subject to the requirements of Executive Order 13175. If a Tribe
determines that this rule has implications of which RD is not aware and
would like to engage with RD on this rule, please contact RD's Native
American Coordinator at (202) 690-1681 or AIAN@wdc.usda.gov.
Paperwork Reduction Act
There are no reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated
with this rule.
E-Government Act Compliance
RD is committed to complying with the E-Government Act, to promote
the use of the Internet and other information technologies, to provide
increased opportunities for citizens to access Government information
and services electronically.
I. Background and Discussion
RD is amending numerous RD regulations in two broad areas--
references to the Farmners Home Administration and references to Bureau
of Census data. For those RD regulations affected by these two areas,
RD is also making several additional changes by updating the text with
regard to applicability of the regulations to the FSA; removing or
updating outdated text, as applicable; and removing unnecessary text.
II. Discussion of Changes
A. Farmers Home Administration (FmHA)
Many RD regulations still contain references to the Farmers Home
Administration, or FmHA, which was the predecessor agency to both RD
and FSA.
FmHA references most frequently encountered in RD regulations are
in reference to forms, instructions, and addresses. RD is either
removing references that are no longer necessary or updating the FmHA
references to reflect the appropriate entity, as applicable. New
references will be to RD, Agency, to the specific RD agency (Rural
Business-Cooperative Service, Rural Housing Service, Rural Utilities
Service), to the ``government,'' or to the United States, depending on
the context of the regulation. Where necessary in individual RD
regulations, definitions have been changed or added to reflect the new
reference(s).
B. Census References
Many RD regulations refer to census data as the source to be used
for various popluation-, income-, and unemployment-related data. RD is
amending those portions of its regulations that reference U.S. Bureau
of Census (Census Bureau) and its data primarily due to changes in the
data being reported by the Census Bureau in the decennial Census.
Other changes are being implemented to further consistency among RD
programs in referencing sources to be used for population-related data
requirements and provisions and to provide clarification of how
provisions are implemented. Finally, RD is removing outdated or
unnecessary text.
The following paragraphs discuss these changes.
1. Census Bureau data. RD allocates the funding for a number of its
programs using formulas that rely on data supplied by the Census
Bureau, frequently as found in the decennial Census. Most RD
regulations refer to this as ``using the latest census data available''
or similar language.
Starting with the 2010 census, however, the Census Bureau no longer
reports income data in the decennial Census. Thus, RD needs to identify
an alternative source for income-related data.
After examining several alternative data sources, RD determined
that income data published by the Census Bureau in the American
Community
[[Page 9858]]
Survey (ACS), as found in the 5-year survey component of the ACS,
provides the best source of data for estimates of state-level income
and poverty data, even though such are no longer being published in the
decennial Census. RD is also aware that the data contained in the ACS
may not meet the needs of a specific program and that the ACS may at
some point in the future be replaced or discontinued. For these
reasons, RD is using ``5-year income data from the American Community
Survey (ACS) or, if needed, other Census Bureau data'' to indicate the
source of the data to be used.
In some instances, RD regulations refer to using other data sources
for income-related data if the ACS or Census Bureau data are outdated.
RD is retaining that concept where it currently exists, but modifying
the language to address the revision noted in the preceding paragraph.
2. Consistency and clarification. As described below, RD is making
several changes to create consistency between the RD programs.
a. Whenever a regulation is directing the use of the decennial
Census as the data source, RD is using ``the most recent decennial
Census of the United States (decennial Census)'' consistently
throughout the RD regulations. This change brings consistency among the
three RD agencies and their regulations.
b. RD regulations apply not only to what most people understand as
the 50 states of the United States, but also to the U.S. Virgin
Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Marshall Islands, etc.
The decennial Census does not report population for most of these
territories. Some, but not all, of the RD regulations clearly identify
how population data are to be obtained for these other areas. To make
this consistent, RD is revising text to make clear in all its
regulations the data sources to be used. Specifically, if the decennial
Census does not provide the applicable population information, then RD
will determine the applicable population data based on available
population data.
C. FSA Related Changes
When they were operating as the Farmers Home Adminstration, RD and
FSA shared many regulations. With RD and FSA now separate entities,
many of the regulations in 7 CFR no longer apply to FSA. Some of these
regulations have already been identified as no longer being applicable
to FSA. There are a few regulations, however, that still need to be
identified as no being applicable to FSA and RD is adding text to that
effect. The regulations are: 7 CFR 1900 subpart A, 7 CFR 1902 subpart
A, and 7 CFR 1910 subpart B.
D. Outdated and/or Unnecessary Text in Those Parts and Subparts That
Contain Either Reference to Census Bureau or FmHA
Once RD identified those CFR parts that need updating with regard
to references to FmHA and the Census Bureau, RD also identified a
number of other outdated or unnecessary material, and thus is revising
such material. In brief, these changes:
Remove reference to Rand McNally and Company as an
alternative source of population data (7 CFR 1735.2, 7 CFR 1737.2);
Remove references to a Federal Communications Commission
Web site and to a Census Tiger Map (7 CFR 1740.8(b)(1)(i) and (c)(1);
Remove a series of Agency forms from 7 CFR 1980, Subpart E
and their conforming references. Specifically, RD will no longer
publish in the CFR RD forms identified as: (1) Appendix A, (2) Appendix
B, (3) Appendix F, (4) Exhibits A through C to Appendix I to Subpart E
of Part 1980, and (5) Exhibits A through C to Appendix K to Subpart E
of Part 1980. The applicable forms will continue to be available in RD
offices and through RD's Web site;
Remove reference to the year 2000 as it currently modifies
``Census block'' in 7 CFR 1709(b);
Remove the first paragraph in the definition of Rural and
rural area in 7 CFR 3575.1. This paragraph references Fiscal Year 1999
and is thus obsolete; and
Update the reference to the Legislative Affairs and Public
Information Staff (LAPIS) with the Legislative and Public Affairs Staff
(LAPAS) (7 CFR parts 1942, 1944, 1948, and 1980).
E. Other
For the Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant (REDLG) program,
RD is modifying both the definition of Rural or rural area'' (7 CFR
4280.3) and the scoring criterion associated with the decline in
population for the county where the project is physically located (7
CFR 4280.42(b)(7)).
RD is modifying the definition of ``Rural or rural area'' for REDLG
to make the definition consistent with the definition for ``rural or
rural area'' found in the Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program
(RMAP), whose definition is more comprehensive and consistent with
other definitions with Rural Business-Cooperative Service programs.
RD is modifying the identified scoring criterion by adding
reference to making the calculation using the an ``equivalent time
frame'' in those instances where data is used from a data source other
than the decennial Census.

most recent data available at the time of loan application, either the
number of consumers in each county it serves or the number of consumers
in each census tract it serves. Using 5-year income data from the
American Community Survey (ACS) or, if needed, other Census Bureau
data, RUS will compare, on a weighted average basis, the average per
capita and median household income of the counties or census tracts
served by the borrower with state figures.
(ii) If there is reason to believe that the ACS or other Census
Bureau data does not accurately represent the economic conditions of
the borrower's consumers, the reasons will be documented and the
borrower may furnish, or RD may obtain, additional information
regarding such economic conditions. Information must consist of
reliable data from local, regional, State, or Federal sources or from a
survey conducted by a reliable impartial source. The Administrator has

relationship or association with a Rural Development employee. The
applicant is required to disclose the requested information under
pertinent program regulations.
(b) Responsibility of the Rural Development employee. A Rural
Development employee who knows he or she is related to or associated
with an applicant or recipient, regardless of whether the relationship
or association is known to others, is required to notify the Rural
Development official who is processing or servicing the assistance, in
writing. RD Guide Letter 1900-D-1 (available in any RD office) may be
used as the notice. If the appropriate official is not known, the State
Director should be notified. Regardless of whether the relationship or
association is defined in Sec. 1900.152, if the employee believes
there may be a potential conflict of interest, the Rural Development
official who is processing or servicing the assistance may be notified
and special handling requested. An employee's request that the case
receive special handling is usually honored.
(c) Responsibility of the Rural Development official. When any
relationship or association is identified, the Rural Development
official completes and submits RD Guide Letter 1900-D-2 to the State
Director (or Administrator, under paragraph (e) of this section or
Sec. 1900.155(a)). When completed, RD Guide Letter 1900-D-3 is
returned by the State Director, the processing official;

Rural Development assistance. If a relationship or association is
established after an application has been filed or assistance has been
provided, both recipient and employee are required to notify the Rural
Development official as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
section.
(e) Relationship or association with a State Office, Finance Office
or National Office employee. If an identified relationship or
association is with an employee at a State Office (other than a State
Director), Finance Office or National Office, the processing/servicing
official completes and submits RD Guide Letter 1900-D-2 to the State
Director in the normal manner. The State Director reviews the
information, determines the need for special handling, designates the
processing/servicing official, completes and submits RD Guide Letter
1900-D-3 to the Administrator for written concurrence. When the
Administrator's concurrence is received, the State Director returns
completed RD Guide Letter 1900-D-3 to the original official who
completes the action described in paragraph (c) of this section.
(f) Relationship or association with a State Director. If an
identified relationship or association is with a State Director, the
processing/servicing official completes and submits RD Guide Letter
1900-D-2 to the Administrator. The Administrator reviews, determines
the need for special handling, designates the processing/servicing
official, completes and returns RD Guide Letter 1900-D-3 to the
original official who completes the action described in paragraph (c)
of this section.
(g) Change in relationship or association, status of Rural
Development assistance, or employee's duty station. If the relationship
or
[[Page 9868]]
association has changed, the application denied or the assistance
otherwise terminated, or Rural Development employee's duty station
changed, the designated processing/servicing official completes RD
Guide Letter 1900-D-2 with the new information and submits it. The
review process takes place as described in paragraphs (a) through (e)
of this section to determine if processing/servicing activity may
return to normal or requires another change. If the assistance is
denied or otherwise terminated, the designated official notifies the
original official.

current ineligible interest rate for C&BP property set forth in Exhibit
B of RD Instruction 440.1 (available in any Rural Development office).

the respective type of program approval authorities in Exhibit E of
Subpart A of Part 1901 of this chapter (available in any Rural
Development office). For other than C&BP, credit sales to NP purchasers
