SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 188 of the Consolidated Farm and
Rural Development Act of 1972, as established under 29 CFR part 75,
authorizes the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to make
or guarantee loans or grants to finance industrial and business
activities in rural areas. The Secretary of Labor must review the
application for financial assistance for the purpose of certifying to
the Secretary of Agriculture that the assistance is not calculated, or
likely, to result in: (a) A transfer of any employment or business
activity from one area to another by the loan applicant's business
operation; or, (b) An increase in the production of goods, materials,
services, or facilities in an
[[Page 60562]]
area where there is not sufficient demand to employ the efficient
capacity of existing competitive enterprises unless the financial
assistance will not have an adverse impact on existing competitive
enterprises in the area. The Employment and Training Administration
(ETA) within the Department of Labor is responsible for the review and
certification process. Comments should address the two bases for
certification and, if possible, provide data to assist in the analysis
of these issues.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 11th day of October, 2005.
Emily Stover DeRocco,
Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training.
