Title: Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) Grants 
Abstract:

The Rural Business-Cooperative Service will update the regulations for the Rural Energy for America Program to update section references for Combined Grant and Guaranteed Loan funding requirements and Energy Audit and Renewable Energy Development Assistance grants due to the removal of the guarantee loan provisions that will move to the OneRD Guaranteed Loan Rule (0572-AC43).  Program modifications that have been previously published via Federal Register Notice of Solicitation of Application (NOSA) will be incorporated into 7 CFR part 4280, subpart B, to eliminate the need for annual notification/renewal and to enhance program delivery and customer service.  Program enhancements that support a greater distribution of funds as well as processing and servicing clarifications are also being incorporated into this regulation.
