AGENCY: Rural Housing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: On May 19, 2016, the final rule for the certified loan

program became effective. See 80 FR 23673 (April 29, 2015) and 81 FR 
8389 (February 19, 2016). The Administrator has the ability to 
temporarily reclassify applications received through the certified loan 
application packaging process as fourth funding priority when funds are 
insufficient to serve all program-eligible applicants, when determined 
appropriate. See 7 CFR 3550.55(c)(5).
    In accordance with this regulatory allowance, the Administrator 
will grant fourth funding priority to loan application packages 
received via an Agency-approved intermediary when funds are 
insufficient to serve all program-eligible applicants. This 
reclassification will remain in effect until further notice via Federal 
Register notice. This reclassification does not apply to certified

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action is deemed appropriate since the

and goals of the Agency and benefit the low- and very low-income people

awareness of the Agency's housing program, increasing specialized 
support available to complete the application for assistance, and 
improving the quality of loan application packages.
