DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Farm Service Agency 

7 CFR Parts 761 and 764 

RIN 0560–AI17 

Microloan Operating Loans 

AGENCY: Farm Service Agency, USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Farm Service Agency 

(FSA) is modifying Operating Loan (OL) 

application, eligibility, and security 

requirements for Microloans (ML) to 

better serve the unique operating needs 

of small family farm operations. The 

intended effect of this rule is to make 

the OL Program more widely available 

and attractive to small operators through 

reduced application requirements, more 

timely application processing, and 

added flexibility in meeting the 

managerial ability eligibility 

requirement. FSA is also removing 

provisions for the low documentation 

(Lo-Doc) application process for OLs 

from the existing direct loan regulations. 

DATES: Effective January 17, 2013.

Connie Holman; telephone: (202) 690– 

0756. Persons with disabilities or who 

require alternative means for 

communication (Braille, large print, 

audio tape, etc.) should contact the

(voice and TDD). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

FSA has a long history of providing 

agricultural credit to the Nation’s 

farmers and ranchers through its OL 

Program. The Consolidated Farm and 

Rural Development Act of 1972 (Pub. L. 

92–419, CONACT), as amended, 

authorizes FSA’s OL Program. FSA’s OL 

Program is designed to finance the farm 

operating needs of family farms for 

operators who meet the program 

eligibility requirements. Among other 

things, eligible applicants must be 

unable to obtain sufficient credit from 

other sources; have sufficient applicable 

education, on-the-job training, or 

farming experience; have an acceptable 

credit history; and have adequate 

collateral for the proposed loan. (See 7 

CFR 764.101 and 764.252 for a full 

explanation of OL eligibility 

requirements.) OL funds may be used 

for such things as annual or term 

operating purposes to refinance certain 

debts; pay normal farm operating and 

family living expenses; purchase 

livestock, equipment, and other 

materials essential to a farm operation; 

and may also be used for some minor 

improvements to farm real estate, such 

as wells and essential repairs to 

buildings. (See 7 CFR 764.251 for a 

complete list of OL funds uses.) 

Throughout this rule, any reference to 

‘‘farm’’ or ‘‘farmer’’ also includes 

‘‘ranch’’ or ‘‘rancher,’’ respectively; in 

this document, the word ‘‘operator’’ 

refers to farmers who operate a farm. 

In on-going efforts to improve the OL 

Program, FSA evaluated the unique 

needs of small farm operations and 

identified unintended barriers to 

applying for OLs. As a result, FSA is 

simplifying the application process and 

adding flexibility for meeting both loan 

eligibility and security requirements to 

encourage their participation. FSA 

published the proposed rule on May 25, 

2012 (77 FR 31220–31226). The 

proposed rule included provisions for 

streamlining and abbreviating the 

application process, modifying security 

provisions, and providing additional 

flexibility in meeting the experience 

eligibility requirement. Additionally, 

FSA proposed removing the Lo-Doc OL 

Program provisions from the CFR. As 

discussed below, this final rule makes a 

few changes from the proposed rule in 

response to comments. 

The ML application process, or the 

ML process, is within the existing OL 

Program framework, and uses existing 

OL appropriations to focus on the 

financing needs of small farm 

operations. These small farms, 

including non-traditional farm 

operations, currently have limited 

financing options available. 

ML has been designed to appeal to 

small family farm operations. The ML 

application process simplifies the 

information required to apply by 

reducing the level of documentation 

required to more appropriately align 

with the less complex structure and 

needs of small operations. Additionally, 

the eligibility requirement for 

managerial ability and the loan security 

requirements for the ML process have 

been modified from the OL
