Sec. 1956.148  Exception authority.

    The Administrator may make an exception to any requirement or 
provision of this subpart which is not inconsistent with the authorizing 
statute or other applicable law if the Administrator determines that 
application of the requirement or provision would adversely affect the 
Government's interest. Requests for exceptions must be made in writing 
by the State Director and supported with documentation to explain the 
adverse effect on the Government's interest, propose alternative courses 
of action, and show how the adverse effect will be eliminated or 
minimized if the exception is granted. Any settlement actions approved 
by the Administrator under this section will be documented on Form FmHA 
or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 1956-1 and returned to 
the State Office for submission to the Finance Office.
