Servicing and Collections— 

Unauthorized Recipients of Financial 

Assistance 

AGENCY: Rural Housing Service, Rural 

Business-Cooperative Service, Rural 

Utilities Service, Farm Service Agency, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the 

servicing regulations that apply when it 

is determined that unauthorized 

recipients have received financial 

assistance under USDA Business, 

Cooperative, and Community Facility 

loan and grant programs. The changes 

make clear that the first demand letter 

notifying the recipient of the Agency’s 

determination serves as the initial step 

in the Agency’s collection efforts, and 

that it may serve as the basis for the 

recipient’s appeal rights. The terms of 

the first demand letter remain in full 

force and effect, unless the demand 

letter is subsequently amended in 

writing by the Agency after discussions 

with the recipient or modified as a 

result of judicial proceedings. 

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is 

effective on December 19, 2006.

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule is not subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. 

Environmental Impact Statement 

This document has been reviewed in 

accordance with 7 CFR part 1940, 

Subpart G, Environmental Program. It is 

the determination of the Rural Business 

and Cooperative Services that this 

action does not constitute a major 

Federal action significantly affecting the 

environment. Therefore, in accordance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, an Environmental Impact 

Statement is not required. 

Executive Order 12988 

This rule has been reviewed in 

accordance with E.O. 12988, Civil 

Justice Reform. In accordance with this 

rule: (1) All State and local laws and 

regulations that are in conflict with this 

rule will be preempted; (2) no 

retroactive effect will be given to this 

rule; and (3) administrative proceedings 

in accordance with 7 CFR part 11 must 

be exhausted before bringing suit in 

court challenging action taken under 

this rule unless those regulations 

specifically allow bringing suit at an 

earlier time. 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) establishes 

requirements for Federal agencies to 

assess the effects of their regulatory 

actions on State, local, and tribal 

governments and the private sector. 

Under section 202 of the UMRA, USDA 

must prepare a written statement, 

including a cost benefit analysis, for 

proposed and final rules with ‘‘Federal 

mandates’’ that may result in 

expenditures to State, local or tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or to the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

in any one year. When such a statement 

is needed for a rule, section 205 of 

UMRA generally requires USDA to 

identify and consider a reasonable 

number of regulatory alternatives and 

adopt the least costly, more cost 

effective, or least burdensome 

alternative that achieves the objectives 

of the rule. 

This rule contains no Federal 

mandates (under the regulatory 

provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for 

State, local, and tribal governments or 

the private sector. Therefore, this rule is 

not subject to the requirements of 

sections 202 and 205 of UMRA. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

In compliance with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612), the 

undersigned has determined and 

certified by signature of this document 

that this rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. The 

Regulatory Flexibility Act is intended to 

encourage Federal agencies to utilize 

innovative administrative procedures in 

dealing with individuals, small 

businesses, small organizations, and 

small governmental bodies that would 

otherwise be unnecessarily adversely 

affected by Federal regulations. No 

regulatory flexibility analysis under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act is necessary. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

The policies contained in this rule do 

not have any substantial direct effect on 

States, the relationship between the 

national government and the States, or 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Nor does this rule 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
75852 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 19, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 

impose substantial direct compliance 

costs on State and local governments. 

Therefore, consultation with the States 

is not required. 

Discussion 

This rule revises the servicing 

regulations that apply when it has been 

determined that an unauthorized 

recipient has received financial 

assistance under the USDA Rural 

Development Business and Industry 

Direct Loan program, all other 

applicable grant and loan programs, and 

the USDA Rural Development 

Community Facilities Loan and Grant 

programs. Those parts of the Code of 

Federal Regulations that relate solely to 

internal Agency processes are removed, 

and procedures that apply to Agency 

notification to the recipient and 

decisionmaking with respect the 

Agency’s determination(s) are clarified 

to state that an account receivable will 

be established to recover the amounts 

claimed by the Agency.

§ 1951.701 Purpose. 

This subpart prescribes the policies 

and procedures for servicing 

Community and Business Program loans 

and/or grants made by Rural 

Development when it is determined that 

the borrower or grantee was not eligible 

for all or part of the financial assistance 

received in the form of a loan, grant, or 

subsidy granted, or any other direct 

financial assistance. It does not apply to 

guaranteed loans. Loans sold without 

insurance by Rural Development to the 

private sector will be serviced in the 

private sector and will not be serviced 

under this subpart. The provisions of 

this subpart are not applicable to such 

loans. Future changes to this subpart 

will not be made applicable to such 

loans. 

§ 1951.702 Definitions. 

As used in this subpart, the following 

definitions apply: 

Active borrower. A borrower who has 

an outstanding account in the records of 

the Office of the Deputy Chief Financial 

Officer (ODCFO), including collectiononly or an unsatisfied account balance 

where a voluntary conveyance was 

accepted without release from liability 

of foreclosure did not satisfy the 

indebtedness. 

Assistance. Finance assistance in the 

form of a loan, grant, or subsidy 

received. 

Debt instrument. Used as a collective 

term to include promissory note, 

assumption agreement, grant agreement, 

or bond. 

False information. Information, 

known to be incorrect, provided with 

the intent to obtain benefits which 

would not have been obtainable based 

on correct information. 

Inaccurate information. Incorrect 

information provided inadvertently 

without intent to obtain benefits 

fraudulently. 

Inactive borrower. A former borrower 

whose loan(s) has been paid in full or 

assumed by another party(ies) and who 

does not have an outstanding account in 

the records of the ODCFO. 

Recipient. ‘‘Recipient’’ refers to an 

individual or entity that received a loan, 

or portion of a loan, an interest subsidy, 

a grant, or a portion of a grant which 

was unauthorized. 

Rural Development. A mission area 

within the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture consisting of the Office of 

the Under Secretary for Rural 

Development, Office of Community 

Development, Rural BusinessCooperative Service, Rural Housing 

Service, and Rural Utilities Service and 

their successors. 

Unauthorized assistance. Any loan, 

interest subsidy, grant, or portion 

thereof received by a recipient for which 

there was no regulatory authorization or 

for which the recipient was not eligible. 

Interest subsidy includes subsidy 

benefits received because a loan was 

closed at a lower interest rate than that 

to which the recipient was entitled, 

whether the incorrect interest rate was 

selected erroneously by the approval 

official or the documents were prepared 

in error. 

§ 1951.703 Policy. 

When unauthorized assistance has 

been received, an expeditious effort 

must be made to collect from the 

recipient the sum which is determined 

to be unauthorized, regardless of 

amount. 

§§ 1951.704–1951.705 [Reserved]. 

§ 1951.706 Initial determination that 

unauthorized assistance was received. 

Unauthorized assistance may be 

identified through audits conducted by 

the USDA Office of Inspector General 

(OIG), through reviews made by Rural 

Development personnel, or through 

other means such as information 

provided by a private citizen who 

documents that unauthorized assistance 

has been received by a recipient of Rural 

Development assistance. 

§ 1951.707 Determination of the amount of 

unauthorized assistance. 

(a) Unauthorized loan amount. The 

unauthorized loan amount will be the 

unauthorized principal plus any interest 

accruing on the unauthorized principal 

at the note interest rate until the date 

paid unless otherwise agreed in writing 

by Rural Development. 

(b) Unauthorized grant amount. The 

unauthorized amount will be the 

unauthorized grant amount actually 

expended under the grant agreement 

plus interest accrued beginning on the 

date of the demand letter at the interest 

rate stipulated in the applicable grant 

agreement, or, if none is stated, the 

default rate established by the U.S. 

Department of the Treasury, until the 

date paid unless otherwise agreed in 

writing by Rural Development. 

§ 1951.708 Notification to recipient. 

(a) Upon determination that 

unauthorized assistance was received, 

Rural Development will send a demand 

letter to the recipient that: 

(1) Specifies the amount of 

unauthorized assistance, including any 

accrued interest to be repaid, and the 

standards for imposing accrued interest; 

(2) States the amount of penalties and 

administrative costs to be paid, the 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 19, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 75853 

standards for imposing them, and the 

date on which they will begin to accrue; 

(3) Provides detailed reason(s) why 

the assistance was determined to be 

unauthorized; 

(4) States the amount is immediately 

due and payable to Rural Development; 

(5) Describes the rights the recipient 

has for seeking review of Rural 

Development’s determination pursuant 

to 7 CFR part 11; 

(6) Describes the Agency’s available 

remedies regarding enforced collection, 

including referral of debt delinquent 

more than 180 days for Federal salary, 

benefit, and tax offset under the 

Department of Treasury Offset Program 

(TOP); and 

(7) Provides an opportunity for the 

recipient to meet with Rural 

Development to provide facts, figures, 

written records, or other information 

which might refute Rural Development’s 

determination. 

(b) If the recipient meets with Rural 

Development, Rural Development will 

outline to the recipient why the 

assistance was determined to be 

unauthorized. The recipient will be 

given an opportunity to provide 

information to refute Rural 

Development’s findings. When 

requested by the recipient, Rural 

Development may grant additional time 

for the recipient to assemble 

documentation. Such extension of time 

for payment will be valid only if Rural 

Development documents the extension 

in writing and specifies the period in 

days during which period the payment 

obligation created by the demand letter 

(but not the ongoing accrual of interest) 

will be suspended. Interest and other 

charges will continue to accrue 

pursuant to the demand letter during 

any extension period unless the terms of 

the demand letter are modified in 

writing by Rural Development. 

(c) Unless Rural Development 

modifies the original demand, it will 

remain in full force and effect. 

§ 1951.709 Decision on servicing actions. 

(a) Payment in full. If the recipient 

agrees with Rural Development’s 

determination or will pay the amount in 

question, Rural Development may allow 

a reasonable period of time (usually not 

to exceed 90 days) for the recipient to 

arrange for repayment. The amount due 

will be determined according to 

§ 1951.707. 

(b) Continuation with recipient. If the 

recipient agrees with Rural 

Development’s determination or is 

willing to pay the amount in question 

but cannot repay the unauthorized 

assistance within a reasonable period of 

time, continuation is authorized and 

servicing actions outlined in § 1951.711 

may be taken provided all of the 

following conditions are met: 

(1) The recipient did not provide false 

information as defined in § 1951.702. 

(2) It would be highly inequitable to 

require prompt repayment of the 

unauthorized assistance. 

(3) Failure to collect the unauthorized 

assistance in full will not adversely 

affect Rural Development’s financial 

interest. 

(c) Appeals. Appeals resulting from 

the letter prescribed in § 1951.708 will 

be handled according to 7 CFR Part 11. 

All appeal provisions will be concluded 

before proceeding with further actions. 

(d) Liquidation of loan(s) or legal 

action to enforce collection. When a 

case cannot be handled according to the 

provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this 

section, or if the recipient refuses to 

execute the documents necessary to 

establish an obligation to repay the 

unauthorized assistance as provided in 

§ 1951.711, one or more of the following 

actions will be taken: 

(1) Active borrower with a secured 

loan. (i) Rural Development will attempt 

to have the recipient liquidate 

voluntarily. If the recipient does not 

agree to voluntary liquidation, or agrees 

but it cannot be accomplished within a 

reasonable period of time (usually not 

more than 90 days), forced liquidation 

action will be initiated in accordance 

with applicable provisions of subpart A 

of part 1955 of this chapter unless: 

(A) The amount of unauthorized 

assistance outstanding, including 

principal, accrued interest, and any 

recoverable costs charged to the 

account, is less than $1,000; or 

(B) It would not be in the best 

financial interest of the Government to 

force liquidation. 

(ii) When all of the conditions of 

paragraph (a) or (b) of this section are 

met, but the recipient does not repay or 

refuses to execute documents to effect 

necessary account adjustments 

according of the provisions of 

§ 1951.711, forced liquidation action 

will be initiated as provided in 

paragraph (d)(1)(i) of this section. 

(iii) When forced liquidation would 

be initiated, except that the loan is being 

handled in accordance with paragraph 

(d)(1)(i)(A) or (d)(1)(i)(B) of this section, 

continuation with the loan on existing 

terms may be provided. 

(iv) If the debt is not otherwise 

resolved, Rural Development will take 

appropriate debt collection actions in 

accordance with 7 CFR Part 3, subparts 

B and C, and the Federal Claims 

Collection Standards at 31 CFR Chapter 

IX, Parts 900–904. 

(2) Grantee, inactive borrower, or 

active borrower with unsecured loan 

(such as collection-only, or unsatisfied 

balance after liquidation). Rural 

Development may pursue all reasonable 

legal remedies. 

§ 1951.710 [Reserved]. 

§ 1951.711 Servicing options in lieu of 

liquidation or legal action to collect. 

When the conditions outlined in 

§ 1951.709(b) are met, the servicing 

options outlined in this section will be 

considered. 

(a) Continuation on modified terms. 

When the recipient has the legal and 

financial capabilities, the case will be 

serviced according to one of the 

following, as appropriate. 

(1) Unauthorized loan. A loan for the 

unauthorized amount determined 

according to § 1951.707(a) will remain 

accelerated per the demand letter sent 

in accordance with § 1951.708 unless 

modified terms are timely reached with 

the recipient and accrued at the interest 

rate specified in the outstanding debt 

instrument or at the present market 

interest rate, whichever is greater, for 

the respective Community and Business 

program area. The loan will be 

amortized per a repayment schedule 

satisfactory to Rural Development, but 

in no event may the revised repayment 

schedule exceed a period of fifteen (15) 

years, the remaining term of the original 

loan, or the remaining useful life of the 

facility, whichever is shorter. 

(2) Unauthorized grant. The 

unauthorized grant amount determined 

according to § 1951.707(b) will be 

converted to an account receivable, with 

interest payable at the market interest 

rate for the respective Community 

Facilities or Business and Industry 

Program area in effect on the date the 

financial assistance was provided. In all 

cases, the receivable will be amortized 

per a repayment schedule satisfactory to 

Rural Development, but in no event may 

the amortization period exceed fifteen 

(15) years. The recipient will be 

required to execute a debt instrument to 

evidence this receivable, and the best 

security position available to adequately 

protect Rural Development’s interest 

during the repayment period will be 

taken as security. 

(3) Unauthorized subsidy benefits 

received. When the recipient was 

eligible for the loan but should have 

been charged a higher interest rate than 

that in the debt instrument, which 

resulted in the receipt of unauthorized 

subsidy benefits, the case will be 

handled as follows: 

(i) The recipient will be given the 

option to submit a written request that 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
75854 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 243 / Tuesday, December 19, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 

the interest rate be corrected to the 

lower of the rate for which they were 

eligible that was in effect at the date of 

loan approval or loan closing. 

(ii) Any accrued unauthorized 

subsidy will be handled in accordance 

with § 1951.709. 

(b) Continuation on existing terms. 

When the recipient does not have the 

legal and/or financial capabilities for the 

options outlined in paragraph (a)(1), 

(a)(2), or (a)(3) of this section, the 

recipient may be allowed to continue to 

meet the loan obligations outlined in the 

existing loan instruments. Rural 

Development will not continue with 

unauthorized grants on existing terms. 

§§ 1951.712–1951.716 [Reserved]. 

§ 1951.717 Exception authority. 

The Administrator may, in individual 

cases, make an exception to any 

requirement or provision of this subpart, 

provided that any such exception is not 

inconsistent with any applicable law or 

opinion of the Comptroller General, and 

provided further, the Administrator 

determines that the application of the 

requirement or provision would 

adversely affect the Government’s 

interest.

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

CFM International CFM56 Series 

turbofan engines. This AD requires 

replacing certain fuel filters 

manufactured under parts manufacturer 

approvals (PMA). This AD results from 

12 reports of failed fuel filters. We are 

issuing this AD to prevent the loss of 

engine thrust that could result in loss of 

control during takeoff or landing. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

January 3, 2007. 

We must receive any comments on 

this AD by February 20, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Use one of the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We have 

received reports of 12 PMA fuel filters, 

fuel filters part numbers WF337661 and 

WF337017, manufactured by Western 

Filter, and part numbers 7595983–101 

and 7588133, manufactured by PTI 

Technologies, that have failed in service 

on CFM56–7B engines since March 

2006. These filters use a deeper pleat 

and are more susceptible to collapse or 

deterioration of the filter media than the 

original equipment manufacturer filters. 

A collapsed or deteriorated fuel filter 

can allow unfiltered fuel contamination 

in fuel components, including fuel 

nozzles, with no indication of fuel filter 

bypass to the flight crew. This 

condition, if not corrected, could result 

in the loss of engine thrust that could 

result in loss of control during takeoff or 

landing. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

The unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other CFM International CFM56 

series engines of the same type design. 

For that reason, we are issuing this AD 

to prevent the potential loss of thrust 

that could result in loss of control 

during takeoff or landing. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

Since an unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD, we have found that notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

issuing this AD are impracticable, and 

that good cause exists for making this 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements affecting flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment; 

however, we invite you to send us any 

written relevant data, views, or 

arguments regarding this AD. Send your 

comments to an address listed under 

ADDRESSES. Include ‘‘AD Docket No. 

FAA–2006–26502; Directorate Identifier 

2006–NE–37–AD’’ in the subject line of 

your comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of the rule that might suggest a 

need to modify it. 

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http:// 

dms.dot.gov, including any personal 

information you provide. We will also 

post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact with FAA 

personnel concerning this AD. Using the 

search function of the DMS Web site, 

anyone can find and read the comments 

in any of our dockets, including the 

name of the individual who sent the 

comment (or signed the comment on 

behalf of an association, business, labor
