Title: ●2008 Farm Bill, Household Water Well System Grant Program
Abstract: Rural Development Utilities Programs proposes to make two amendments to regulation 7 CFR 1776. The first amendment will implement the provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill for loan limits. Section 1776.15, section (a) (3), will be amended to replace $8,000 with $11,000, the new maximum loan amount nonprofits may make to homeowners for private wells. The second amendment will enable existing grant recipients to amend their grant agreements for the new loan limit of $11,000. Section 1776.10 will be amended to insert language providing for amendments to grant agreements and enabling existing grant recipients to comply with statutory requirements as they are enacted. The loan limit increase will allow homeowners to obtain financial assistance for well repairs and improvements in areas where the construction costs for wells routinely exceed $8,000.
