(c) If multiple parties are involved and have opposing interpretations a joint request for a final agency determination or an interpretation of procedure or policy provision not codified in the Code of Federal Regulations including both requestor interpretations in one request is encouraged. If multiple insured persons are parties to the proceedings, and the request for a final agency determination or an interpretation of procedure or policy provision not codified in the Code of Federal Regulations applies to all parties, one request may be submitted for all insured persons instead of separate requests for each person. In this case, the information required in this section must be provided for each person. wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS § 400.768 FCIC Obligations. (a) FCIC reserves the right to not provide a final agency determination or an interpretation of procedure or policy provision not codified in the Code of Federal Regulations for any request regarding, or that contains specific factual information to situations or cases, such as acts or failures to act of any participant under the terms of a policy, procedure, or any reinsurance agreement. (1) Regardless of whether or not FCIC accepts a request, FCIC will not consider specific factual information to situations or cases in any final agency determination. (2) FCIC will not consider any examples provided in your interpretation because those are fact specific and could be construed as a finding of fact by FCIC. If an example is required to illustrate an interpretation, FCIC will provide the example in the interpretation. (b) If, in the sole judgment of FCIC, the request is unclear, ambiguous, or incomplete, FCIC will not provide a final agency determination or an interpretation of procedure or policy provision not codified in the Code of Federal Regulations but notify you within 30 days of the date of receipt by FCIC that the request is unclear, ambiguous, or incomplete. (c) If FCIC notifies you that a request is unclear, ambiguous or incomplete under § 400.768(b), the 90 day time period for FCIC to provide a response is VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:03 Mar 17, 2015 Jkt 235001 stopped on the date FCIC notifies you. On the date FCIC receives a clear, complete, and unambiguous request, FCIC has the balance of the days remaining in the 90 day period to provide a response to you. For example, FCIC receives a request for a final agency determination on January 10. On February 10, FCIC notifies you the request is unclear. On March 10, FCIC receives a clarified request that meets all requirements for FCIC to provide a final agency determination. FCIC has sixty days from March 10, the balance of the 90 day period, to provide a response. (d) FCIC reserves the right to modify the request for a final agency determination into an interpretation of procedure or policy provision not codified in the Code of Federal Regulations as needed if the request pertains to procedures or uncodified policy provisions and contains the information required in § 400.767. (e) FCIC will provide you a written final agency determination or an interpretation of procedure or policy provision not codified in the Code of Federal Regulations within 90 days of the date of receipt for a request that meets all requirements in § 400.767. (f) If FCIC does not provide a response within 90 days of receipt of a request, you may assume your interpretation is correct for the applicable crop year. However, your interpretation shall not be considered generally applicable and shall not be binding on any other program participants. Additionally, in the case of a joint request for a final agency determination or an interpretation of procedure or policy provision not codified in the Code of Federal Regulations, if FCIC does not provide a response within 90 days, neither party may assume their interpretations are correct. (g) FCIC will publish all final agency determinations as specially numbered documents on the RMA Web site because they are generally applicable to all program participants. (h) FCIC will not publish any interpretation of procedure or policy provision not codified in the Code of Federal Regulations because they are only applicable to the parties in the dispute. You are responsible for providing copies of the interpretation of procedure or policy provision not codified in the Code of Federal Regulations to all other parties involved in the proceeding.

AGENCY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is seeking input and comments on its Early Stage Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) initiative, promulgated in the final rule on April 27, 2012.

Although 58 investment funds applied to the program, to date SBA has only licensed 5 Early Stage SBICs.
