and 220.830. Each of these regulatory

provisions states that the applicable

rates of interest will be published twice

each year as a notice in the Federal

Register. Section 224 further provides that the

interest rate on these debentures will be

set from time to time by the Secretary

of HUD, with the approval of the

Secretary of the Treasury, in an amount

not in excess of the annual interest rate

determined by the Secretary of the

Treasury pursuant to a statutory formula

based on the average yield of all

outstanding marketable Treasury

obligations of maturities of 15 or more

years. The Secretary of the Treasury (1) has

determined, in accordance with the

provisions of Section 224, that the

statutory maximum interest rate for the

period beginning July 1, 2000, is 61⁄2

percent and (2) has approved the

establishment of the debenture interest

rate by the Secretary of HUD at 61⁄2

percent for the 6-month period

beginning July 1, 2000. This interest rate

will be the rate borne by debentures

issued with respect to any insured loan

or mortgage (except for debentures

issued pursuant to Section 221(g)(4))

with an insurance commitment or

endorsement date (as applicable) within

the last 6 months of 2000.

For convenience of reference, HUD is

Section 221(g)(4) of the Act provides

that debentures issued pursuant to that

paragraph (with respect to the

assignment of an insured mortgage to

the Secretary) will bear interest at the

‘‘going Federal rate’’ of interest in effect

at the time the debentures are issued.

The term ‘‘going Federal rate’’ is defined

to mean the interest rate that the

Secretary of the Treasury determines,

pursuant to a statutory formula based on

the average yield on all outstanding

marketable Treasury obligations of 8- to

12-year maturities, for the 6-month

periods of January through June and

July through December of each year.

Section 221(g)(4) is implemented in the

HUD regulations at 24 CFR 221.790. The Secretary of the Treasury has

determined that the interest rate to be

borne by debentures issued pursuant to

Section 221(g)(4) during the 6-month

period beginning July 1, 2000, is 71⁄2

percent. HUD expects to publish its next

notice of change in debenture interest

rates in December 2000.

The subject matter of this notice falls

within the categorical exemption from

HUD’s environmental clearance

procedures set forth in 24 CFR 50.20(1).

For that reason, no environmental

finding has been prepared for this

notice.
