METHODOLOGY AND FORMULAS FOR ALLOCATION
OF LOAN AND GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS.
The changes to this Instruction are limited to Rural Business-Cooperative
Programs only; no changes are being made to the Rural Housing Service programs
referenced in the rule, which published on September 19, 2014.
Changes to the RBS programs are including the Intermediary Relending Program and
the Rural Energy for America Program, and providing a generic allocation process
for RBS programs not specifically identified in the rule. In addition, the
changes revise State allocation formulae to account for changes in data report
by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in its decennial Census as well as revise the
weight percentages associated with each of the allocation criteria. Other
changes include providing flexibility in determining when not to make State
allocations for a program; restricting the use of the transition formula and
changing the limitations on how much program funds can change when the
transition formula is used; and providing consistency, where necessary, in the
allocation of RBS program funds to State Offices.
