Title: ●Rural Business Investment Program (Non-Leveraged)—Farm Bill 
Abstract: Rural Development proposes to promulgate an interim rule for the purpose of facilitating non-leveraged Rural Business Investment Companies. The interim rule will be promulgated as a new subpart to 7 CFR Part 4290, as part of a strategy to help unlock the potential power that rural equity has to finance rural development in a manner that will help rural residents share in the benefits of the economic growth potential of rural America. 7 CFR was published in the Federal Register June 8, 2004. On March 29, 2007, Rural Development published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking public input regarding the possibility of operating the Program, in light of the loss of funding as a result of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2006, to provide for non-leveraged Rural Business Investment Companies (RBICs). As a result of the public comments received and statutory modifications provided in the 2008 Farm Bill, Rural Development intends to publish an interim rule for non-leveraged RBIC’s described above.
