Hardship Loan Rate
On November 1, 1993, the Rural Electrification Loan Restructuring Act, Pub. L. 103-129, 107 Stat. 1356, (RELRA) amended the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, 7 U.S.C. 901 et seq., (RE Act) to establish a new interest rate structure for insured electric loans. Insured electric loans approved on or after this date, are either municipal rate loans or hardship rate loans. Borrowers meeting the criteria set forth in §1714.8 are eligible for 5 percent hardship rate loans.

*These approximate FFB rates are based upon a common type of RUS loan in which the quarterly loan payments
are derived by amortizing over 30 years, but the loan matures with a balloon payment at the maturity indicated
in the column heading (for example, 10 years). The column headings are approximate maturity terms, since the loans
end on quarterly payment dates.
