Interest Rates

The Small Business Administration

publishes an interest rate called the

optional ‘‘peg’’ rate (13 CFR 122.8–4(d))

on a quarterly basis. This rate is a

weighted average cost of money to the

government for maturities similar to the

average SBA direct loans. This rate may

be used as a base rate for guaranteed

fluctuating interest rate SBA loans. This

rate will be 61⁄4 percent for the January–

March quarter of FY 96.

Pursuant to 13 CFR 108.503–8(b)(4),

the maximum legal interest rate for a

commercial loan which funds any

portion of the cost of a project (see 13

CFR 108.503–4) shall be the greater of

6 percent over the New York prime rate

or the limitation established by the

constitution or laws of a given State.

The initial rate for a fixed rate loan shall

be the legal rate for the term of the loan.

John R. Cox,

Associate Administrator for Financial

Assistance.
