The Agency is making available Recovery Act funds for the B&I Guaranteed Loan Program. The collection of this information is necessary to obtain information on rural areas experiencing persistent poverty, outmigration, high unemployment, and under-served and under-represented groups and area hardest hit by the current economic crisis.
The Agency has determined that the most effective use of Recovery Act funds is to target them to encourage the creation or retention of quality jobs through the extension of business credit in those rural areas of greatest need, most difficult to reach, and among those hardest hit by the current economic crisis. Given the limited amount of time to obligate the associated funding, September 30, 2010, the Agency is requesting emergency approval so the Department can begin accepting applications and making loan guarantees.
