Streamlining the Rural Utilities Service Water and Waste Program Regulations

The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) hereby amends the regulations utilized to administer the water and waste loan and grant programs. The proposed rule will combine the water and waste loan and grant regulations into one regulation. Unnecessary and burdensome requirements for entities seeking financial assistance under the programs will be eliminated. The streamlining of the regulation will allow RUS to provide better service to rural entities needing assistance in correcting and alleviating health and sanitary problems in their communities, and in general improve the quality of life in rural areas. This rule will also incorporate changes in the water and waste loan and grant program mandated by the 1996 Farm Bill. This rule could impact the amount of loan and grant an applicant could receive. Therefore, RUS will honor all written commitments of loan and grant amounts issued prior to the effective date of this rule.
