Department of Agriculture is proposing to simplify and speed up the appeal process for loans turned down by Farmers Home Administration. "It would mean better, faster service for borrowers and would cut administrative costs." said FmHA Adminis trator Charles W. Shuman. "and we believe that if an applicant feels our decision has been in error, we owe the person a speedy review." FmHA is a credit agency of the I'SDA and makes loans to farmers and other rural residents for farming, housing and community development. People have until Jan. 4. 1982. to submit comments on the proposed changes. Shuman said the proposal would reduce the number of steps involved in an appeal to no more than two in the field and one in the agency's national office in Washington. This, he said, would cut administrative costs and the time it takes to process appeals. Some of the proposed changes are: -Pre hearing meetings may be waived. -Files must be made avail able for inspection upon re quest by the appellant before being mailed to the hearing officer. -Tape recordings of hear ings are optional rather than mandatory. -Further appeals can be made within 30 days instead of 20. to give the appellant adequate time. Details are available in the Nov. 5 issue of the Federal Register. Comments should be sent to : Directives Management Branch. Rm 6346-S. Farmers Home Ad ministration. U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture.
