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 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 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
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 8th of April, 2011.
Jane Oates,
Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training.
