Notifications: Responses will be 

reviewed for completeness and 

eligibility. The USDA Rural

whose responses are selected via a 

Notice to Proceed with Application 

Processing letter. The USDA Rural 

Development will request lenders 

without GRRHP lender approval to 

apply for GRRHP lender approval 

within 30 days upon receipt of 

notification of selection. 

Lenders will also be invited to submit 

a complete application to the USDA 

Rural Development State Office where 

the project is located. 

Submission of GRRHP Applications: 

Notification letters will instruct lenders 

to contact the USDA Rural Development 

State Office immediately following 

notification of selection to schedule 

required agency reviews. 

USDA Rural Development State Office 

staff will work with lenders in the 

development of an application package. 

The deadline for the submission of a 

complete application is 90 days from 

the date of notification of response 

selection. If the application is not 

received by the appropriate State Office 

within 90 days from the date of 

notification, the selection is subject to 

cancellation, thereby allowing another 

response that is ready to proceed with 

processing to be selected. The Agency 

may extend this 90-day deadline for 

receipt of an application at its own 

discretion. 

Award Administration Information 

Obligation of Program Funds: The 

Agency will only obligate funds to 

projects that meet the requirements for 

obligation under 7 CFR part 3565 and 

this NOFA, including having undergone 

a satisfactory environmental review in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) 

and completed Form RD 3565–1 for the 

selected project. 

The Agency will prioritize the 

obligation requests using the highest 

score and the procedures outlined as 

follows. The Agency will select the 

responses that meet eligibility criteria 

and invite lenders to submit complete 

applications to the Agency. Once a 

complete application is received and 

approved, the Agency’s State Office will 

submit a request to obligate funds to the 

Agency’s National Office. Starting on 

the Friday following the date the annual 

appropriation bill has passed, obligation 

requests submitted to the National 

Office will be accumulated, but not 

obligated throughout the week until 

midnight Eastern Time every Thursday. 

To the extent that funds remain 

available, the Agency will obligate the 

requests accumulated through the 

weekly request deadline of the previous 

week by the following Tuesday (i.e., 

requests received from Friday, May 13, 

2011, to Thursday, May 19, 2011, will 

be obligated by Tuesday, May 24, 2011). 

In the event of a tie, priority will be 

given to the request for the project that: 

1st—has the highest percentage of 

leveraging (lowest Loan to Cost) and in 

the event there is still a tie;—is in the 

smaller rural community. 

Conditional Commitment: Once the 

required documents for obligation are 

received and all NEPA and regulatory 

requirements have been met, the USDA 

Rural Development State Office will 

issue a conditional commitment, which 

stipulates the conditions that must be 

fulfilled before the issuance of a 

guarantee, in accordance with 7 CFR 

3565.303. 

Issuance of Guarantee: The USDA 

Rural Development Office will issue a 

guarantee to the lender for a project in 

accordance with 7 CFR 3565.303. No 

guarantee can be issued without a 

complete application, review of 

appropriate certifications, satisfactory 

assessment of the appropriate level of 

environmental review, and the 

completion of any conditional 

requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 5 U.S.C. 

4314(c)(1) requires each agency to 

establish, in accordance with 

regulations prescribed by the Office of 

Personnel Management, a performance 

review board (PRB). The PRB reviews 

initial performance ratings of members 

of the Senior Executive Service (SES) 

and makes recommendations as to final 

annual performance ratings for senior 

executives. Because the CSB is a small 

independent Federal agency, the SES 

members of the CSB’s PRB are drawn 

from other Federal agencies. 

The Chairperson of the CSB has 

appointed the following individual to 

the CSB Senior Executive Service 

Performance Review Board: 

PRB Member—Mary Johnson, General 

Counsel, National Mediation Board. 

Ms. Johnson replaces Gary L. Halbert 

(previously General Counsel, National 

Transportation Safety Board). The 

service of Mr. Halbert on the PRB has 

come to a close. His appointment was 

originally announced in the Federal 

Register of January 8, 2010 (75 FR 

1028). 

William B. Wark (CSB Board Member) 

continues to serve as the Chair of the 

PRB, as announced in the Federal 

Register of November 15, 2007 (72 FR 

64192). David Capozzi (Executive 

Director, United States Access Board) 

continues to serve as a Member of the 

PRB, as announced in the Federal 

Register of December 5, 2008 (73 FR 

74138).
