Abstract
The Rural Housing Service (RHS), formerly Rural Housing and Community Development Service (RHCDS), a successor Agency to the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), amends its regulations for the Rural Rental Housing (RRH) program. This action is taken to implement legislative reforms mandated by the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997, Pub. L. 104-180, enacted August 6, 1996, and to implement Pub. L. 105-86, enacted November 18, 1997, which amends the maximum loan term for Section 515 loans from 50 years to 30 years. The intended effect of these reforms is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Section 515 RRH program.
