Notice of eligibility criteria. AGENCY: ACTION: The Farm Service Agency (FSA) announces the revised loan volume eligibility criteria for existing lenders participating in the Preferred Lender Program (PLP) for FSA guaranteed loans or who have recently participated in PLP but lost that status due to loan volume requirements and SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 wish to reapply. Due to decreased loan demand, many former PLP lenders, who would have otherwise been expected to have renewed their PLP status, have been unable to qualify for the renewal of their status in PLP within the past 5 years due solely to loan volume requirements. This document applies lower loan volume eligibility criteria to PLP lenders who renew their PLP status and to former PLP lenders who reapply for PLP status after losing that status because they were unable to renew due solely to decreased loan volume within the 5 years immediately preceding the date of this notice. FSA also announces the revised loan volume eligibility criteria for all lenders participating in the Certified Lender Program (CLP) for FSA guaranteed loans due to the same decreased loan demand discussed previously. This document applies less restrictive loan volume eligibility criteria to all lenders currently participating in the CLP program and lenders applying to participate in the CLP program. DATES: Applicable date: February 23, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew T. Henderson; telephone: (202) 720–5847; email: matthew.henderson2@ usda.gov. Individuals who require alternative means for communication should contact the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Target Center at (202) 720–2600 (voice and text telephone (TTY)) or dial 711 for Telecommunications Relay service (both voice and text telephone users can initiate this call from any telephone). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background FSA’s PLP provides qualifying lenders additional authorities and streamlined procedures under the FSA guaranteed farm loan programs. In accordance with the criteria specified in 7 CFR 762.106(c)(3), lenders who participate in the PLP must meet minimum loan volume thresholds that are established by FSA and published in a notice in the Federal Register. On May 5, 1999 (64 FR 24132), FSA established the current PLP loan volume threshold of 20 FSA guaranteed loans closed in the past 5 years. Also, 7 CFR 762.106(c)(1) states that lenders who participate in the PLP must meet all requirements of CLP. The CLP loan volume threshold was established on February 12, 1999 (64 FR 7404). The notice stated that lenders participating in the CLP must have closed a total of at least 10 FSA guaranteed loans and at least 5 of those FSA guaranteed loans must have been closed in the past 2 E:\FR\FM\23FEN1.SGM 23FEN1
