This Notice of Solicitation of Applications (NOSA) announces the acceptance of applications under the Intermediary Relending Program (IRP) to provide direct loans to intermediaries that establish programs for the purpose of providing loans to ultimate recipients for business facilities and community developments in a rural area.
