SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Interest Rates 

The Small Business Administration 

publishes an interest rate called the 

optional ‘‘peg’’ rate (13 CFR 120.214) on 

a quarterly basis. This rate is a weighted 

average cost of money to the 

government for maturities similar to the 

average SBA direct loan. This rate may 

be used as a base rate for guaranteed 

fluctuating interest rate SBA loans. This 

rate will be 2.500 (21⁄2) percent for the 

July–September quarter of FY 2012. 

Pursuant to 13 CFR 120.921(b), the 

maximum legal interest rate for any 

third party lender’s commercial loan 

which funds any portion of the cost of 

a 504 project (see 13 CFR 120.801) shall 

be 6% over the New York Prime rate or, 

if that exceeds the maximum interest 

rate permitted by the constitution or 

laws of a given State, the maximum 

interest rate will be the rate permitted 

by the constitution or laws of the given 

State.

International Joint Commission 

International Joint Commission Invites 

Public Comment on Upper Great Lakes 

Report 

The International Joint Commission 

(IJC) announced today that it is inviting 

public comment on the final report of its 

International Upper Great Lakes Study 

Board, Lake Superior Regulation: 

Addressing Uncertainty in Upper Great 

Lakes Water Levels. Comments will be 

accepted at public hearings and by mail, 

email and on-line until August 31, 2012. 

The Study examines whether the 

regulation of outflows from Lake 

Superior through the compensating 

works and power dams on the St. Marys 

River at Sault Ste. Marie might be 

improved to take into consideration the 

evolving needs of users on Lakes 

Superior, Huron, Michigan and Erie. 

The Commission is considering 

proposed changes to its Orders of 

Approval for the outflows of Lake 

Superior at the St. Marys River that have 

been recommended by the Study. The 

Study report also examines the potential 

future impacts of climate change, a 

management strategy to better anticipate 

and respond to future extreme water 

levels, the feasibility and implications 

of restoring water levels in lakes 

Michigan-Huron and multi-lake 

regulation and its impacts throughout 

the Great Lakes St-Lawrence system. 

The report and related supporting 

documents and peer review are 

available at the Upper Great Lakes 

Public Hearings Web site. 

Commissioners invite the public to 

present comments at hearings that will 

be held the following dates and

Testing Standards and Training 

Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of report availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of a report from the ARC, 

which presents recommendations to 

enhance the content, process, and 

methodology for development of 

aeronautical knowledge testing and 

training materials.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 21, 2011, the FAA 

chartered the ARC to provide a forum 

for the U.S. aviation community to share 

its experience and expertise in the areas 

of aeronautical knowledge required for 

safer operation in today’s National 

Airspace System (NAS). 

The FAA’s charge to the ARC was to 

help ensure that technical information 

related to airman knowledge tests, 

computer testing supplements, 

knowledge test guides, and training 

handbooks incorporates the most 

current and relevant standards, policies, 

procedures, and techniques. The FAA 

specifically tasked the ARC with 

providing recommendations on the 

content of these materials, a process for 

stakeholder participation, and 

appropriate methodologies for 

developing test item bank questions. 

The FAA also requested the ARC’s 

recommendations on prioritizing the 

enhancement of these materials. 

Notice of Availability 

The ARC submitted its report to FAA 

on April 13, 2012. The report is now 

available for review and download from 

the FAA Web site at: http:// 

www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/arc.
