PART 1721--POST-LOAN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR INSURED ELECTRIC LOANS--Table of Contents
 
       Subpart B--Extensions of Payments of Principal and Interest
 
Sec. 1721.101  General.

    (a) The procedures in this subpart are intended to provide Borrowers 
with the flexibility to request an extension of principal and interest 
as authorized under section 12(a) of the RE Act and section 236 of the 
Disaster Relief Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-606).
    (b) The total amount of principal and interest that has been 
deferred, including interest on deferred principal, will be added to the 
principal balance, and the total amount of principal and interest that 
has been deferred will be reamortized, through level payment, over the 
remaining life of the applicable note beginning in the first year the 
deferral period ends.
    (c) Payment of principal and interest will not be extended more than 
5 years after such payment is due as originally scheduled. However, in 
cases where the extension is being granted because, at the sole 
discretion of the Administrator, a severe hardship has been experienced, 
the Administrator may grant a longer extension provided that the 
maturity date of any such loan does not extend to a date beyond forty 
(40) years from the date of the note.
