Abstract: The Business and Industry (B&I) program was legislated in 1972 under Section 310B of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. The purpose of the program is to improve, develop, or finance businesses, industries, and employment and improve the economic and environmental climate in rural communities. This purpose is achieved through bolstering the existing private credit structure through the guaranteeing of quality loans made by lending institutions, thereby providing lasting community benefits. The B&I program is administered by the Agency through Rural Development State and sub-State Offices serving each State. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) in response to the COVID-19 National Emergency, provided additional funding which will increase the number of applications received. RIN 0570–AB07 is associated with the B&I CARES Act Program) published in the Federal Register today, Friday, May 22, 2020.
