rates for advances on municipal rate loans with interest rate terms

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:Patrick Shea, Financial Analyst, U.S. 
Department of Agriculture, Rural Utilities Service, room 2230-s, 14th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) hereby 
announces the interest rates on advances made during the second 
calendar quarter of 1995 for municipal rate electric loans. Pursuant 
regulations originally published by the Rural Electrification 
Administration (REA) at 7 CFR 1714.5, the interest rates on advances 
from municipal rate loans are based on indexes published in the ``Bond 
Buyer'' for the four weeks prior to the first Friday of the last month 
before the beginning of the quarter.
    The Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture 
Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-354, 101 Stat. 3178), signed by 
President Clinton on October 13, 1994, provides for the establishment 
of RUS as successor to REA with respect to various programs, including 
the electric loan program established by the Rural Electrification Act 
of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.). On October 20, 1994, the Secretary of 
Agriculture issued Secretary's Memorandum 1010-1, establishing RUS and 
abolishing REA. Therefore, RUS is publishing this notice implementing a 
rule originally published by REA.
    In accordance with 7 CFR 1714.5, the interest rates are established 
as shown in the following table for all interest rate terms that begin 
at any time during the second calendar quarter of 1995.
