Résumé
The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS), an Agency in the Rural Development Mission Area of the United States Department of Agriculture, will hold a public meeting entitled "Expanding Rural Renewable Energy Systems." The purpose of this event is to initiate a dialogue about how to implement a loan guarantee, direct loan, and grant program to finance renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements. Section 9006 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-71) (the Act) provides $23 million annually for this purpose. The program will be made available to farmers, ranchers, and rural small businesses. We anticipate that this program will support energy self-sufficiency and promote rural economic development.
