Title: ●Cooperative Equity Security Guarantee 
Abstract: Section 6012 of the 2008 Farm Bill provided eligibility for cooperative equity security guarantees for the B&I program. The B&I regulation (RD Instruction 4279-B) will be amended to add this as an eligible loan purpose by specifically allowing the purchase of preferred stock or similar equity issued by a cooperative organization, or a fund that invests primarily in cooperative organizations, if the guarantee will significantly benefit one or more eligible entities. No new entities will be eligible under this provision, as cooperative organizations are already eligible for loan guarantees; it simply makes loan guarantees for the purchase of preferred stock or similar equity eligible for loan guarantees.
