Abstract: On May 13, 2002, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Farm Bill) was signed into law as Public Law 107-171. Section 6002 of the Farm Bill amended the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (CONACT) by adding a grant program to establish a revolving loan fund (RFP). Loans are made to eligible entities to finance predevelopment costs of water and wastewater (W&WW) projects, or short-term small capital projects not part of the regular operation & maintenance of current W&WW systems. The items covered by this information collection package are used to determine eligibility, project feasibility, and the applicant's ability to meet the grant and regulatory requirements.
