Sec. 682.422  Guaranty agency repayment of funds transferred from the Federal Fund.

    (a) General. A guaranty agency must begin repayment of money 
transferred from the Federal Fund not later than the start of the 4th 
year after the agency establishes its Operating Fund. All amounts 
transferred must be repaid not later than five years after the date the 
Operating Fund is established.
    (b) Extension for repaying the interest transferred--(1) General. 
The Secretary may extend the period for repayment of interest 
transferred from the Federal Fund from two years to five years if the 
Secretary determines that the cash flow of the Operating Fund will be 
negative if the transferred interest had to be repaid earlier or the 
repayment of the interest would substantially diminish the financial 
circumstances of the agency.
    (2) Agency eligibility for an extension. To receive an extension, 
the agency must demonstrate that it will be able to repay all 
transferred funds by the end of the 8th year following the date of 
establishment of the Operating Fund and that the agency will be 
financially sound upon the completion of repayment.
    (3) Repayment of interest earned on transferred funds. If the 
Secretary extends the period for repayment of interest transferred from 
the Federal Fund for a guaranty agency, the agency must repay the amount 
of interest during the 6th, 7th, and 8th years following the 
establishment of the Operating Fund. In addition to repaying the amount 
of interest, the guaranty agency must also pay to the Secretary any 
income earned after the 5th year from the investment of the transferred 
amount. In determining the amount of income earned on the transferred 
amount, the Secretary uses the average investment income earned on the 
agency's Operating Fund.
    (c) Consequences if a guaranty agency fails to repay transfers from 
the Federal Fund. If a guaranty agency fails to make a scheduled 
repayment to the Federal Fund, the agency may not receive any other 
Federal funds until it becomes current in making all scheduled payments, 
unless the Secretary waives this restriction.
